Screen Fixing and Monitor Repairs

When you turn on your computer and it makes all the right noises and the lights come on, it can be a bit of a quandary when nothing comes on the screen. There are 4 main reasons why this may be the case, which makes it a tricky one to get to the bottom of.

It could be your monitor – try borrowing one from a friend or neighbour – this is much easier than it used to be before these flat screens

If you get the same results on a borrowed monitor then you need to swap your cable – you may have done this at the same time as you borrowed the monitor, in which case good move.

Still no joy – well it could be your graphics card. If you have a dedicated one then borrowing another might be a bit of a problem. If you are using on board graphics then you might want to also try borrowing a dedicated graphics card, though this still involves opening up your PC.

One thing is sure though, you don’t want to go off buying anything till you know what to buy, and for many, the idea of opening up your computer to put in cards is a no-go. Do what you are comfortable with, and call us if you don’t get a definite answer before getting to a part you aren’t happy to try.

If your laptop screen has been physically damaged, don’t just ring the manufacturer or the shop you bought it from. If you do you might find that the price can be close to the price of a new laptop. Many laptop makers use standard screens, which are available at a fraction of the cost of the price quoted by your PC manufacturer. There is every chance that we can find you a replacement screen much cheaper and also fit it much cheaper than the main manufacturers and their maintenance companies.
