eaglesfan036 4,603 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 So I've owned my laptop for either three or four years, I forget, and this is the second time it's cracked. Both times, I don't believe I did anything to provoke the cracking, as I have never slammed my laptop, sat on my laptop, dropped it down the stairs, etc. So I'm probably going to complain to Sony Vaio support tomorrow and see if they can do anything for me, but they probably won't So does anyone know the cheapest way to get a laptop screen fixed? P.S. I would not be able to figure out how to fix it myself if I bought the parts even with tutorial videos I suck at that stuff I could never even build the star wars lego toys so that's not an option Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/16141-cracked-laptop-screen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Admin Will 4,660 Posted January 7, 2015 Senior Admin Share Posted January 7, 2015 My macbook pro got into a fight with a bunk-bed ladder once.

Jala 922 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Easiest way to fix it is get a monitor and port out to that imo. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/16141-cracked-laptop-screen/#findComment-169817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesler 1,514 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Probably craigslist or try and find one on amazon or some place like that. My dads cracked a couple years ago and we found one on craigslist right away and it was fairly cheap.

Kesler 1,514 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 found what, a laptop screen? And did u attach it urself?Well my dad knows how to do that kind stuff, but I guess if you have no clue then just go to a shop and they can order you one and put it on. But that will likely cost more. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/16141-cracked-laptop-screen/#findComment-169837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOM 8,759 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I can do basic electronic repairs like fixing circuit boards and replacing capacitors, so the replacement of a screen wouldn't be hard....but not much use a billion miles away from you. You'd be surprised what you can do with a tutorial or step by step guide to the replacement of the screen. I believe in you!

Brandon 426 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 My sister cracked her screen because there was too much weight pressing against it. If it was in her backpack, books were against it. 4 options imo. 1. If you only use your laptop for home usage you can get a cheap monitor and plug it into the laptop. 2. I'm fairly certain you can actually buy computer screens second hand and you can manually replace it as long as it is the same model. 3. Take it to a repair shop and have them fix it for probably around $50 i'm guessing. 4. Cut losses and buy a new fairly cheaper laptop around ~$400. If you wait and keep looking you can grab ones on really good sales. Black Friday OP.
