The sickening crunch. The spiderweb cracks. Your laptop screen is shattered.

It happens in an instant. A drop, a stray object in your bag, or pressure in the wrong spot, and suddenly your vibrant laptop display is a useless, distracting mess of broken glass and distorted lines. A broken screen makes your portable device immobile and unusable. You need a fast, professional repair that restores your laptop to its original, crystal-clear condition without breaking the bank.

Our Expert Solution: Precision Screen Replacement in North County

Don’t live with a cracked screen or pay for an entirely new laptop. PC Repair Center specializes in professional screen replacement for all major brands at our Oceanside and Encinitas shops. We have the expertise to carefully disassemble your laptop, source the exact high-quality replacement panel, and install it flawlessly. We make the process quick and affordable, often completing the repair on the same day if the part is in stock.

A Deep Dive into Display Technology

“Screen” is a simple word for a complex component. We have experience working with all types:

• LCD Panels (TN & IPS): The most common type of laptop screen. We match the exact resolution, connector type, and finish (matte or glossy) of your original screen.
• OLED Displays: Found on higher-end laptops, these offer incredible contrast but require delicate handling during replacement.
• Touchscreens: Replacing a touchscreen is more complex, as it involves both the display panel and the digitizer (the layer that registers touch). We can replace the entire assembly to restore full functionality.
• MacBook Retina Displays: We are experts in replacing the full display assembly on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models, restoring that iconic picture quality.

Our Flawless 5-Step Replacement Process

1. Free, Exact Quote: Bring in your laptop. We will identify the exact part number of your screen and provide you with a firm, all-inclusive quote for the part and labor. No surprises.
2. Part Sourcing: We have many common screen models in stock at our Oceanside and Encinitas locations for same-day service. If we need to order a specific panel, it typically arrives in 1-3 business days.
3. Meticulous Disassembly: Our technicians will carefully disassemble the laptop’s display housing, safely removing the broken panel without damaging the surrounding bezel or cables.
4. New Screen Installation & Testing: The new, high-quality screen is installed and connected. We then power on the device and run a series of diagnostic tests to check for dead pixels, pressure spots, and correct color calibration.
5. Final Assembly & Warranty: Once the new screen passes our quality assurance tests, we reassemble the display housing, clean the screen, and hand it back to you. The repair is covered by our 90-day warranty.
