Laptop Screen Replacement
A cracked or dead laptop screen is one of the most common repairs we do at our Marlboro shop. We identify the exact panel your model needs, source a quality replacement, and fit it — usually within a few days.

Getting the right panel
Two laptops that look identical can use different panels — matte or glossy, touch or non-touch, different resolutions and connectors. We match yours by model and panel part number so the replacement fits and performs like the original. Bring the laptop or its exact model number to our Marlboro shop for a precise quote.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to replace a laptop screen in Marlboro, NJ?
Laptop screen replacement runs $120 to $470, around $264 on average. The spread is because a basic Dell or HP panel is inexpensive while a MacBook, Surface or high-resolution touchscreen costs much more. Tell us the exact model and we'll give you a firm quote.
How long does a screen replacement take?
If we have your panel in stock, it's often a same-day or next-day repair. Most models need the panel ordered, which adds two to four business days. We fit the screen at our Marlboro shop and test it fully before you pick it up.
Is it worth replacing the screen or should I buy a new laptop?
If the laptop is otherwise healthy and under about six years old, a screen replacement is far cheaper than a new machine. If the hinges, battery and keyboard are also worn, we'll price those together so you can make one informed decision.
My laptop screen works with an external monitor — is that cheaper to fix?
That confirms the graphics chip is fine and the fault is the panel or its cable, which is the straightforward repair. Occasionally it's just a loose or pinched cable, which costs less than a full panel — the inspection tells us which.
