Laptop Monitor Repair - A Few Important Laptop Monitor Repair Guidelines!

You are feeling hopeless about laptop monitor repair. You are facing a grim situation: you have just booted up your laptop and...nothing. There is nothing displaying on your LCD screen. Can you imagine a worse situation? How about a shattered screen? Soundless like an end of the world for your laptop kind of scenario, doesn't it? It may not be as hopeless as it sounds. The solution might be as simple as a mini-screwdriver.

Get your hands on a mini-screwdriver and a diagram of your laptop and you are in the do-it-yourself laptop monitor repair business. You should be able to replace your own laptop screen. Of course, in the above shattered screen scenario, you would need to completely replace your screen.

Few Laptop Monitor Repair Guidelines.

Let's look at the blank screen scenario of a laptop monitor repair. You first want to check the brightness settings on your laptop, just in case. Also, test the picture by hooking your laptop up to an outside monitor, to see if you get an image. To look at your brightness level on your laptop, this is usually done through a combination of keyboard keys, or a dedicated button that you'd press to get brightness levels. Another option would be the settings from your BIOS. Now, if your laptop gets video when connected externally, then your laptop's LCD, or a part of your LCD is gone or not working right. If this is the case, then it is off to eBay to get the best deal on laptop parts.

A dream come true for those facing laptop monitor repair situations would be to come across a laptop lid with an LCD screen ready to go. Then it is a simply a matter of taking off your own faulty laptop lid by the hinge screws. Disconnect the video cable from the motherboard. Some laptop models would require the additional step of removing the built-in wireless card antenna wire. Then comes the easy part. Take your newly acquired laptop lid and assemble it in the exact opposite steps that you took to remove the original one.

For those of you who like to complicate things just a little bit, you can just switch out the LCD with the lid. You'd have to take apart the LCD screen from the lid on both units. If you are not entirely sure how this would work, then go to your laptop manufacturer's website, download the service manual, and get play-by-play diagrams to guide you.

As a final caution on a laptop monitor repair, whenever you are searching for parts to replace, either on eBay or elsewhere, always be sure that the part you are looking at matches the make and model of your laptop, because many laptops have parts that are not compatible with one another, so you would be dealing with size incompatibility issues. Also, if you have a newer laptop, you could get your parts directly from the manufacturer, but expect to shell out a few extra coins for doing so.

Either way you look at a laptop monitor repair, having a damaged monitor that needs replacing is not the end of the world scenario you first thought.
