Do you need the exact laptop model?
Yes, the model or panel information is important because screen size, connector, resolution and mounting can differ.
CRACKED, BLACK OR FLICKERING DISPLAY
Laptop screen repair in Montréal
A cracked or black laptop display can be caused by the screen panel itself, the display cable, hinges, backlight, graphics hardware or another internal fault. Laptop Clinic checks the symptoms and exact laptop model before a replacement panel is ordered.
Screen symptoms we can assess
Common problems include a visibly cracked panel, vertical or horizontal lines, flickering, a very dim image, a screen that only works at certain angles, coloured blocks, pressure marks or a laptop that appears to start while the built-in display stays black. Connecting an external monitor can sometimes help separate a screen problem from a wider graphics or motherboard issue.
Part numbers, connector type, size, resolution, mounting style and refresh rate can matter. Two laptops with similar model names may use different panels, so ordering by appearance alone can result in the wrong part.
Replacement and compatibility
When the panel is the confirmed problem, the exact replacement option can be identified and quoted before the part is purchased. If the hinge, frame or display cable is also damaged, that is discussed separately because replacing only the LCD may not correct the underlying mechanical problem.
Repair time depends heavily on part availability and the construction of the laptop. We avoid advertising a universal same-day promise because some screens are readily available while others require a specific order.

Frequently asked questions
Can a black screen be something other than the LCD?
Yes. A cable, graphics, motherboard, power or backlight problem can create similar symptoms, so diagnosis matters.
Do you replace touch screens?
Availability depends on the laptop design and part. Touch assemblies can be different from standard non-touch LCD panels and should be quoted by model.
