Cracked, Lines or Black Screen: What It Usually Means
The symptom tells us a lot before we open anything, and it decides whether you need a new panel at all.
| Cracked glass or spreading ink blots | Panel replacement, the most common screen repair |
| Vertical or horizontal lines | Panel or display cable. We test with an external monitor first |
| Black screen, but the laptop is on | Backlight, cable or graphics. Often not the panel |
| Flickering when you move the lid | Usually a worn display cable or hinge, cheaper than a panel |
| Touch stopped working | Touchscreen digitizer, priced with the touch panel |
Hinge broken too? See laptop hinge repair. For every other laptop fault, start at laptop repair in Ottawa.

Laptop Screen Repair FAQs
How much does it cost to repair a laptop screen in Ottawa?
Most laptop screen repairs in Ottawa come to about $110 to $290 in total: labour starts at $40. The panel is what changes the total: usually $70 to $130 for a standard HD screen, and $130 to $250 for Full HD, touchscreen or high-refresh panels. The inspection and quote are always free, and we confirm the exact part and firm price before ordering anything.
Does a broken or cracked laptop screen cost more to fix than a black or flickering one?
A cracked or broken screen always needs a new panel, so it falls in the usual $110 to $290 range. A black or flickering screen sometimes turns out to be the display cable or a loose connection rather than the panel, which can cost less. We find out which it is during the free inspection, and you get the firm price before anything is ordered.
Is it worth fixing a laptop screen, or should I buy a new laptop?
If the rest of the laptop works well and is less than about six years old, a new screen is almost always cheaper than a replacement laptop. If it's older, slow, or also has a failing battery, we'll tell you honestly whether the money is better spent on a new machine.
Can you fix a laptop screen the same day?
Sometimes. The inspection and quote are same-day when we have an opening, but most panels have to be ordered for your exact model, so the replacement itself is usually one to two business days once the part arrives.
My screen has lines or is black, but it isn't cracked. Is it the screen?
Not always. Lines, flicker and a black screen can also be a loose display cable, a failed backlight or a graphics fault. We plug the laptop into an external monitor first: if that picture is fine, the problem is the panel or its cable, and if it isn't, it's the graphics or motherboard. You only pay for what's actually wrong.
Which laptop brands do you replace screens for?
Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, MSI, Toshiba, Samsung, Microsoft Surface, LG, Razer, and Alienware. Send us the model number and a photo of the damage on WhatsApp and we'll confirm the exact panel and price.
Do you repair iPad or tablet screens?
No, we don't do hardware repairs on tablets or iPads, including screens. We can help with software problems on tablets, but screen and hardware replacement is for laptops and computers only.
What about a MacBook screen?
Yes, through our Mac repair service. MacBook and iMac screens use different panels and tools, so they're priced separately.
How long does a screen replacement take?
Usually one to two business days once the correct panel is in hand. We tell you the expected turnaround with the quote, not after we've already got your laptop.
Do you collect the laptop or do I need to bring it somewhere?
We collect the laptop from your address in Ottawa and return it once the screen is replaced and tested. No shipping, and no waiting at a counter.
