What I Work On
Screens I Replace
If your screen is cracked, dead, flickering, showing lines, or just not turning on, reach out and let me know what you have. Most screens I can source and replace quickly.
Laptops & Chromebooks
Windows, Linux and Chrome OS laptops of all makes and models, including all Chromebooks. Cracked glass, dead backlights, flickering displays, lines across the screen. I source the correct replacement panel and swap it out. Note: MacBook screen replacements are not available as I do not work on Apple hardware.
All-in-One Computers
All-in-one desktops where the screen and computer are built into one unit. These can be trickier to disassemble than laptops but I have experience with the process. Windows and Linux only, no iMac repairs.
Handheld Gaming Consoles
Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, Steam Deck, Game Boy, older Nintendo handhelds and other retro handheld consoles. If it has a screen and fits in your hands, ask me. Chances are I can replace it.
Honest Limitations
What I Don't Replace
I'd rather be upfront than have you bring something in that I can't help with. Here's what's outside my scope right now.
Phones
Phone screen replacement requires specialized heat tools and equipment I don't currently have. The compact, tightly assembled nature of modern phones means attempting it without the right tools risks further damage. I plan to offer this service in the future.
Tablets
Tablets fall into the same category as phones. Tightly bonded screens with specialized tooling requirements. Not something I take on currently.
Apple Hardware
MacBooks, iMacs and other Apple hardware are outside my scope entirely. For Apple hardware repairs, Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider is the right call.
Standalone Computer Monitors
External desktop monitors are generally not worth repairing. Replacement panels often cost more than a new monitor. If your standalone monitor is dead, a new one is almost always the better financial decision.
Before You Repair
Is It Worth Fixing?
I will always give you an honest answer on this. Not every repair makes financial sense and I would rather tell you that upfront than take your money for something that isn't worth it.
Generally Worth Fixing
If the repair cost is roughly a third or less of what the device costs new, it usually makes sense to fix it. You get your familiar device back, your data stays intact, and you save money compared to buying new.
Probably Not Worth It
If the repair cost is approaching half or more of what the device costs new, it's usually smarter to put that money toward a replacement instead. I'll tell you this honestly before you spend a dime.
Not Sure If I Can Help? Just Ask.
If your device isn't on the list above, reach out anyway. Describe what you have and what's wrong with the screen and I'll let you know quickly whether it's something I can take on. The answer is yes more often than you'd expect.
Got a Broken Screen?
Reach out and tell me what you've got. I'll look up the part, give you an honest quote, and let you know if it makes sense to fix.
