Find a professional screen repair service near you

A screen repair service typically includes phone, tablet, and computer screen repair. Some Taskers may also repair Apple Watch screens (or other smartwatches and fitness trackers). Depending on the extent of the damage and your budget, you might need to replace the entire LCD screen. Otherwise, you may simply need minor repairs to stop new cracks from forming. 

Here are the usual steps involved in repairing a device’s screen:  

Assessing the screen damage 

The mobile or computer screen repair starts with an assessment of the damage. Sometimes, only the phone screen protector is cracked, not the actual screen. A minor fix like this is great news, especially if you’re on a budget and are searching for the cheapest phone screen repair options. Whichever type of screen and damage, your specialist can recommend the best way to go about your screen repair. 

Opening the device 

The Tasker first powers off the mobile device. Then, they’ll remove the rear cover and battery and locate the screws. They’ll use a couple of levers, plectrums, and screwdrivers to do this step. The Tasker must be careful not to rip the ribbon cables to avoid damaging your phone, tablet, or smartwatch functions. 

Once the specialist has dismantled the device, they’ll locate the model number for the LCD screen and get an appropriate replacement. The next step is to carefully remove other parts of the device, such as the LCD-containing chassis and camera. The technician may also get rid of the damaged glass. 

Installing the new screen 

One way to install a new screen is to apply adhesive, then carefully lay the glass. It may take a few minutes for the new screen to adhere to the rest of the device. Once the screen is in place, the screen repair specialist reassembles your phone, tablet, smartwatch, or computer. All the cables, parts, batteries, and screws will be reattached. 

Below are other screen repair methods: 

• Replacing a cracked screen protector with a new one. This solution is much cheaper than getting a new LCD screen for your phone, tablet, or computer. 

• Fixing tiny cracks on a phone screen. Minor or moderate damages might not need a complete replacement. The Tasker may use special glue kits to repair small cracks that could spread across the entire surface. 

• Replacing the entire screen. If your mobile device’s LCD is completely cracked, the Tasker may need to replace the screen. 

Checking if the new LCD screen works 

Usually, the screen repair specialist will wrap up by checking if the new LCD (and the rest of your device) works. After doing cell phone screen repair, the specialist should ensure the replacement did not cause any problems to the device.
