Cracked Laptop Screen? 5 Things to Do First

Cracked Laptop Screen? 5 Things to Do First

A cracked screen doesn't always mean a new laptop. Do these five things first.

1. Back up your files

Damage can spread or the screen may fail fully.

Fix: Plug in an external monitor and copy your files.

2. Stop pressing on it

Pressure makes cracks spread.

Fix: Close the lid gently and avoid touching the glass.

3. Note the model number

Screens are model specific.

Fix: Find the label underneath the laptop.

4. Check your warranty or insurance

You may already be covered.

Fix: Check your paperwork before paying.

5. Get a quote

Screen replacement is often far cheaper than a new laptop.

Fix: Contact a repair specialist.
