Laptop screen replacement

From 899 SEK

A cracked laptop screen does not have to mean buying a new computer. At Datorhjälp Lerum we replace screens on MacBook, Windows laptops and many ultrabook models — professionally, with the right spare part and thorough testing before you collect.

Black image even though the computer starts, vertical lines, flicker, or touch that stopped responding are common signs of a damaged LCD or OLED panel. We identify exactly which screen type your model needs and give a quote before ordering the part — no surprises on the invoice.

Screen replacements are done in our Lerum workshop. You can drop off the computer on Göteborgsvägen, or book a home visit for pickup if you live in Floda, Gråbo or nearby. Call 072-297 55 25 for a quick assessment.

When a laptop screen needs replacing

Screens are among the most exposed components in a laptop. A fall from the sofa, a key left in the bag, or pressure against the display in a backpack is enough to crack the glass. Sometimes the damage is visible immediately — sometimes vertical lines or dead pixels develop weeks later.

A black screen even though the fan runs and keyboard backlight works may be due to a failed panel, loose cable, or — less often — a graphics fault. Replacing the screen unnecessarily costs money; guessing wrong costs time. That is why we always start with a careful diagnosis before ordering parts.

Touchscreens and high-resolution panels (Retina, 4K, OLED) need the correct module — the wrong part will not fit physically or deliver the image quality you are used to. We match the panel to your exact model and offer original or high-quality compatible options depending on budget.

Professional screen replacement in Lerum

We disassemble the computer following manufacturer procedures, replace the panel carefully, and check cables, hinges and backlight. After reassembly we test image, colour, brightness and — where applicable — touch at different angles and lighting conditions.

If the glass is cracked but the image works, some models can get new glass; others require the full panel. We recommend what is safest and most cost-effective long term. Warranty on work performed is included — we stand behind the screen working as it should when you collect the computer.

Need data backed up before the job? We can help. If the damage was caused by liquid we sometimes recommend checking the motherboard at the same time — we always inform you before any extra work.

Signs of a broken laptop screen

  • Visible cracks, fractures or black spots in the image
  • Screen stays completely black even though the computer seems to start normally
  • Vertical or horizontal lines across all or part of the display
  • Flicker, wrong colours or dim backlight
  • Touch does not respond, responds incorrectly or registers ghost touches
  • Backlight only works at certain angles
  • Glass feels loose or the screen bleeds when pressed
  • External monitor works but the built-in panel shows nothing

Common causes of screen damage

  • Drop or impact against the screen in a bag or on a desk edge
  • Pressure on the screen when closing the lid (pens, keys, headphones)
  • Liquid damage that seeped in along the edge
  • Wear on the cable between screen and motherboard (common on older laptops)
  • Manufacturing defect or pixel fault that spread over time
  • DIY screen replacement attempt that damaged connectors
  • Overheating that affected the panel or backlight

How it works

  1. 01

    Diagnosis and quote

    We identify screen type and condition. You get labour and part pricing before we order the panel.

  2. 02

    Panel order

    Original or high-quality compatible screen ordered for your MacBook or Windows model.

  3. 03

    Workshop replacement

    The screen is fitted carefully in our Lerum workshop. Cables, hinges and seals are checked.

  4. 04

    Test and collection

    We test image, touch and brightness. You collect the finished computer — or we deliver home if you booked that.

What you can expect

After you drop off the computer or describe the model you get a quote including labour and the spare part. Many screens are in stock or arrive within one to three business days. The swap itself usually takes a few hours in the workshop once the part is on hand.

You collect a tested computer with working image and touch where included. We often clean the screen bezel and check hinges as part of the job. If we find additional damage — for example after liquid ingress — we contact you before proceeding.

Why let us replace your laptop screen

Screen replacement requires precision and the right part — the wrong choice can mean worse image quality, damaged cables, or a laptop that will not close properly.

Right panel for the right model

We match the exact screen type — resolution, connectors and touch — before ordering. No "almost right" solutions.

Workshop in Lerum

The entire job is done in our workshop on Göteborgsvägen — you drop off and collect with us, with personal contact throughout.

20+ years of experience

We have replaced hundreds of laptop and MacBook screens and know which models need extra care.

Clear quote first

You approve the price before the spare part is ordered. Labour from 899 SEK — screen cost depends on model and whether you choose original or compatible panel.

Tested before collection

Image, touch, hinges and brightness are checked before you get the computer back — so you avoid return visits for the same fault.

Before you drop off the computer

  • Note the exact model (e.g. MacBook Pro 14" 2021 or Lenovo ThinkPad X1)
  • Back up important files if possible — standard for workshop jobs but good extra security
  • Remove password or create a temporary account if we need to test after replacement
  • Photograph the damage if you want documentation for an insurance claim
  • Shut down the computer and wrap it in protective material for transport

Protect your laptop screen going forward

  • Use a case with a separate compartment — never put keys or pens against the screen
  • Close the lid gently and check nothing is on the keyboard
  • Avoid carrying an open laptop in your hand — one slip is enough for a crack
  • Clean the screen with microfibre, not paper or alcohol-based products
  • When using an external monitor, close the lid when you leave the computer to reduce wear

Transparent pricing

Frequently asked questions

How much does laptop screen replacement cost?
Labour from 899 SEK. The screen itself varies greatly between models — a simple HD panel costs less than a MacBook Retina display. You get a total quote before we order.
How long does screen replacement take?
Once the part is in stock the swap takes a few hours. Panel delivery is usually 1–3 business days depending on model and availability.
Can you replace screens on MacBook?
Yes — MacBook Air and Pro are among our most common cases. We handle both Intel and Apple Silicon models.
Do I need to drop off the computer in Lerum?
Screen replacement requires the workshop. Drop off at Göteborgsvägen 3 in Lerum, or book a home visit for pickup if you live nearby.
Can you replace just the glass?
On some models yes, but often the glass is bonded to the panel and the full module is replaced. We recommend what gives the best result and durability.
Will I lose my files during screen replacement?
No — screen replacement does not affect stored data. If liquid damage is suspected we can offer backup as an add-on.
Can touch still fail after replacement?
We test touch thoroughly before collection. If touch is part of your model we use the correct touch panel — not a cheaper screen without touch.
Can you help if the screen is black but the computer starts?
Yes — we distinguish panel fault, cable problem and graphics fault. Diagnosis determines whether screen replacement is enough or deeper troubleshooting is needed.
