Laptop Screen Repair in Chelmsford
Cracked glass, a flickering image, or nothing showing at all? Not every "broken screen" is actually the screen — and the fix (and price) depends on which fault you've actually got. Free collection across CM1, CM2, and CM3.
Which Fault Do You Actually Have?
Cracked or shattered glass
Visible physical damage or spidering cracks. Usually a genuine screen replacement — the most straightforward fix.
Flickering, lines, or colour bleed
Image present but distorted. Often the panel, sometimes a loose display cable (much cheaper) — our diagnostic tells the difference.
Completely black, but the laptop is on
Fans spinning, keyboard lit, but no image. Frequently not the screen — could be the graphics card, backlight, or cable.

Screen Repair FAQ
Why does the price depend on panel type instead of one flat rate?
The panel itself is the variable cost, not our labour. A standard HD panel costs far less than a 4K or touchscreen one, so a flat rate would either overcharge simple repairs or undercharge complex ones.
My screen is black but the laptop still turns on — is that a screen repair?
Not always — one of the most commonly misdiagnosed faults. Could be the panel, backlight, display cable, or occasionally the graphics chip. Our free diagnostic identifies which.
How long does a screen replacement take?
Often same-day to next-day if we have the panel in stock. Less common panel types may take 1-3 days while we source the exact part.
