How to Fix a Cracked Laptop Screen

A cracked laptop screen cannot be repaired — it must be replaced. The good news is the rest of your laptop is almost certainly completely fine.

Temporary Workarounds

• Connect an external monitor via HDMI while you arrange the replacement
• Avoid pressure on the cracked area as cracks can spread

Step 1 — Find the Part Number

Even on a cracked screen, the part number sticker on the back is usually readable. Remove the bezel, tilt the panel forward and look for the white sticker.

Step 2 — Order the Correct Screen

Match: screen size, resolution, connector pin count, surface finish, refresh rate, touch or non-touch.

How Much Does it Cost?

• Budget laptops (FHD panels) — typically £20–£45
• Mid-range laptops (IPS FHD) — typically £35–£70
• Premium/gaming laptops (QHD, 144Hz+) — typically £60–£120
