What determines the cost
Screen replacement cost depends mainly on panel type (standard LCD vs high-resolution or touch), brand, and whether the bezel or hinges were also damaged in the drop. A 15-inch Windows laptop panel is typically far cheaper than a MacBook Retina display or a 2-in-1 touchscreen.
Is it always the screen itself
Not always, a laptop can show a cracked display, black screen, coloured lines or flickering even when the panel is fine, if the video cable or graphics chip is the real cause. A quick diagnosis before ordering parts avoids paying for the wrong fix.
How fast it can be done
When the correct panel is in stock, a screen replacement is usually a same-day or next-day repair. We diagnose first, confirm the exact part needed, quote a fixed price, and fit genuine parts for laptops and MacBooks from any major brand.
