LCD monitors are very fragile. If your desktop LCD monitor has a cracked screen, you will need to replace it. However, if your laptop’s LCD screen is cracked, then you can fix it yourself, which saves you money and time.

How to Fix A Cracked LCD Monitor

You will need to purchase a new LCD monitor according to your manufacturers requirements.

1)     Turn off the laptop and remove the screws (located under the screw covers) in your LCD monitor.

2)     Carefully remove the plastic frame around the LCD monitor. Disconnect any wires and cables attached to the screen and note where they attach. Remove the LCD screen.

3)     Put the new LCD screen in place, ensuring that it is the correct size and type. Connect the appropriate wires and cables to your new screen.

4)     Screw the plastic frame back on your monitor securely and replace the screw covers over the screws. Turn on your monitor to ensure that it is working properly.
