Mobile Phone Screen Replacement

Usually the cost-effective way to deal with screen problems is to have the screen assembly replaced.

Problems with one layer of the screen assembly, whether it is the glass, touchscreen, or LCD / LED display, are usually best fixed by replacing the entire three-layer component. Although some discount shops will do glass-only replacement the result is often less-than-desired in terms of quality, usability and durability.

Phone Screen Repair FAQ

What are possible issues for a screen needing to be replaced?

If the screen doesn't respond to touch.

An unresponsive touchscreen can be fixed by replacing the screen 90% of the time. In other cases, there is an issue with the microchip that controls the touch functions which requires the logic board to be serviced.

If there is a faint image but no light

When you can barely make out an image since it's mostly black the screen is not being illuminated. When this happens the backlight is not functioning. 80% of the time replacing the screen will fix this issue, other times the logic board needs to be serviced when the backlight is not receiving power.

If the screen is always black

Second most common reason to replace the screen. Although a screen that doesn't work can be daunting, it is often fixed with a routine part replacement. If you're finding that the device still responds to charging or the notification LED is still blinking, then chances are the display component of the screen is damaged. Other times there can be more serious problems with the device; possible liquid damage or another logic board issue if it's not powering on.

Looks like black ink leaked inside the screen

When a pitch black spot appears on the display it is a clear indication of being physically damaged. This component needs to be replaced not only for esthetic purposes, but more so because that black spot can spread like ink. This happens most often when the display component of the screen has had some blunt trauma. Even though the image may have spots, the touch should still respond as normal.

Glass is cracked or broken

Glass is glass. A broken drinking glass can cause harm, so it gets replaced. Same thing with glass on phones, only in this case the glass is laminated to the display and touch components, so the screen assembly needs to be changed. Glass breaks, it happens and its nothing we should be surprised about. We're not in the space age where ultra-thin pieces of glass are impervious to breaking. Not yet, anyway ;)

Vertical or horizontal solid line on display

If a green, pink or purple straight line appears on your screen the only solution is to replace the screen. Pixels that make up the display are electronically controlled by a matrix of signals and are pinpointed by vertical and horizontal coordinates. When one or more of these super fine and delicate signal lines are damaged it will result in lines or other artefacts appearing on the screen.

Distorted image

In rare cases, a distorted image being produced might result from an issue with your graphics processor on the logic board. A clearer indication of the cause would be any evidence of physical damage to the screen like a crack or dent. If damage can be observed or you know it took a hit then replacing the screen quickly solves this issue.

Stain in screen

"How does something get stained under glass?" You might ask, well it does. It happens when water or other liquid has entered the device and soaked into the layers of the display components. The result is most often bright spots that appear to be stained into the image. These stains cannot be cleaned, but a screen replacement will fix the screen problem. Any other issues will need to be addressed with a water damage cleaning.

Bright spots in screen

Something that happens much less often than other issues yet, is still fixed by replacing the screen. These bright spots might be singular spots of brightness or an excess of brightness near the top or bottom of the screen. For bright spots that look like stains, check the section about screen stains. For all other inconsistent brightness issues, replacing it with a new screen assembly will make the problem disappear.

Screen is flickering

A flickering screen can result from a few different causes. There are some nuances that would identify if the flickering is caused by the graphical display signal, backlight issue, graphics processing issue, software, logic board or something completely different. Our technicians can easily identify that the problem is, so drop in to get it fixed and don't worry about it anymore.

Screen is frozen

A This is most likely a software or logic board issue. Rarely, if ever, does replacing a screen resolve a frozen screen issue. We will be running diagnostics on a device in this situation and let you know a solution and price before continuing with the repair.

What components make up a screen?

A screen assembly is made up of two major components. The part that displays the image and the part the responds to when you touch the screen, known as a touch screen or digitizer. The display component itself normally has a separate backlight to project the image into our eyes (except Sony projection LED screens). For esthetics and safety, a hardened piece of glass is bonded to the touch screen. All these parts are laminated together. On their own they are extremely fragile, but have a higher resistance to damage when its all put together.
