Unfortunately, in most cases, you cannot fix a broken TV screen. TV manufacturers do not sell screen replacements, and there is no secondary market for used screens. That’s because the screen is the most expensive part of the TV, by far. Replacing it would cost more than buying a new TV!

In many cases, your local electronics or TV repair shop won’t even consider working on your broken TV screen. They know that it’s just not worth their time.

If you bought your TV recently, chances are incredibly high that it came from China. Specifically, the BOE Technology factory in Hefei, the capital of China’s Anhui Province.

The BOE factory, where most US TV screens are made today, is almost a mile long and cost about 7 BILLION dollars to build! Sony, Samsung, LG, Vizio, etc. all buy their TV screens from BOE.

“Liquid Crystal display screens are made by putting two thin sheets of glass together. On one of the sheets transistor “cells” formed by first depositing a layer of indium tin oxide (ITO), an unusual metal alloy that you can actually see through. That’s how you can get electrical signals to the middle of a screen.

Then you deposit a layer of silicon, followed by a process that builds millions of precisely shaped transistor parts. This patterning step is repeated to build up tiny little cells, one for each dot (known as a pixel) on the screen. Each step has to be precisely aligned to the previous one within a few microns. Remember, the average human hair is 40 microns in diameter.”

This is the number one reason your TV screen is so costly – they are incredibly challenging to build, and as a result there are only a few companies in the world that make them.

I’ve also heard that only 1 out of every 3 TV screens pass testing at the END of the manufacturing process. That means 2 out of every 3 screens made are worthless!

The screens are made in China and then have to be shipped across the world to be sold in the US. The cost to ship them is high, and a lot of damage can happen during the journey.

So the complexity, and shipping both contribute to the high cost of TV screens. It’s why no one sells the screen separately, it just doesn’t make financial sense.

If your TV screen has an imperfection, discoloration, lines, streaks, spots, etc., then there is a good chance that your warranty will cover it (if it’s within the allotted time period). Most TV warranties are in place for the first year, and they cover these types of manufacturer defects.

And the even better news here is thatthe majority of issues you’re likely to encounter with your TV will happen within the first year (when you’re covered by the manufacturer).

You can always try selling it. Your broken TV isn’t worth much, but to the right person, it’s worth something. Someone who knows what they are doing will take your TV apart, and sell off each individual piece.

Technically, you could do this yourself, but it’s time consuming and you risk damaging the parts. I wouldn’t bother. Instead, try listing the whole TV for sale. Getting something for a broken TV it is better than nothing.

If it turns out no one is willing to buy it, you can try listing it on those same marketplaces for free!Tons of people usually respond when they can get something for no cost, even if it’s broken.

Find a local electronics recycler. There are a lot of these out there. You can look up the closest one to you using Earth911’s website. Type in “TV” and then your Zip Code to find the nearest option to you. Once you find the closest location, you just have to drop off your TV.

Local electronics stores typically recycle products that they sell. A great example of this is Best Buy. They have a nationwide recycling program. But keep in mind, they will charge you a small fee!

Your town likely collects e-waste. Check out your town/cities trash website and see what their policies are for electronic waste. Some towns have special pick up days, others have drop off locations. I would just call your city’s public works department and ask for a place to recycle or dispose of old electronics.

Buy a TV screen protector. You can buy a screen that covers your TV and protects it against damage, and many are waterproof! These provide great added protection from possible bumps and contact with liquids from pets and children.

Mount your TV on the wall.This way your television is up off the ground, and out of reach. It won’t stop your kids from throwing a toy at it, but at least they can’t bump into it, or accidentally knock something, or someone into it.

Don’t allow video games. This might sound harsh (especially for the kids), but I’ve heard too many stories of Nintendo Wii controllers being accidentally thrown at the TV. If you don’t hook up a video game console to your TV, this can’t happen.

Most TV repair shops won’t even bother trying to fix a broken screen. In the end, between a screen replacement and the repair costs, you’d spend the same amount for a brand new TV!

If your TV is cracked or damage because of something you did, your warranty is unlikely to cover it. In that case, consider selling your broken TV or disposing of it.

Which is mounted to wall and been there for the past 3-4 months. The tv got so hot that i could smell the plastic burning, ive touch the edge of tv unit which caused a burn to my hand and a crack in screen .

Ive been talking to samsung and they sent out a technician and in his report he put down crack is due to impact therefor samsung will not replace or fix my tv . I know 100% that there was no impact. After the crack had appeared i could only see half tv screen working and by time servive tech arrived i had no screen, so now im stuck with a non working samsung smart tv 60inch

The same thing happen to me yesterday with my 60 inch Samsung Smart TV. The screen was cracked on the inside because it was to hot. I just turned the Tv on and there is the crack on the bottom middle and they are stating that this is cause by physical damage and are not repairing it and all I did was turn it on and their stating its not under warranty because the inside is cracked so its my fault….how can they assume its my fault when all I did was turn it on and they didn’t even look at it….omg seriously. I am SO furious that I just lost 600$ and only had this TV for 6 months. I have an Emerson flat screen and this is still in working condition over 5 years and still going. I will never ever buy a Samsung TV again due to how they treat their customers. They just got a free 600$ from me. I did not break my screen, I kept it always clean, I take really good care of my stuff. I dont know what else to do, if it was my fault I understand but it’s not.

Hi my curved TV has the screen cracked on the outside of it from a remote being throw at the screen.

What do u think the problem is and how do I fix it and what sort of price do you think it may cost to fix it?

I have a 72″ Vizio model number E701i-A3 and it was hit with a playstation remote on the bottom by my son.

Can the inside screen be replaced, and where would I find a replacement if so? Thank you in advance.

Vizio SmartCast E-Series 60” 4K Ultra HD Home Theater Display (E60U-D3) my son crak the screen I am trying to see if the can change the screen please get back to me

I have a Samsung 55″ 4K smart TV and by the sound of your description it has cracked from the inside. Now I have a white screen. The TV is over 2 years old so I am not covered under manufacturers warranty. I want to try to fix it because it was an expensive TV. So far every TV repair store I’ve called has told me they cannot repair because it cost the same as buying a new one. Would I be able to change the screen and repair it myself? DO you have a link where I can buy a screen?

I have a Visio 65″ 4K. Just moved and turned it on to find cracks but the screen outside does not appeared cracked when off. The model number P652ui-b2. Where can I find a screen replacement part numbe?

I believe you might just be out of luck. The odds of finding a replacement screen for your tv and not spending an arm and a leg will be very, very high. Did you happen to find one? The reason I am asking is that I also have a P652ui-b2 and the tv turns on for a few minutes and then shuts itself off. I see no backlights or anything. I believe I may have a cabling issue inside the tv or panel issue. I have tried replacing all the boards but have come up empty. Do you still have this tv? I may need some parts and finding parts for this tv has become a never-ending search.

i had this very same problem. my inner screen cracked not even a month after getting the tv. it has manufactures warranty and i bought the shop warranty (although that doesnt start til the year is up). i got the company to send someone out to repair it and the guy said theres an impact site so it wont be covered by the manufacture or the company (didnt find out til then that wasnt covered for accidental damage) even though no one had been anywhere near the tv.

My husband and i just spent $350 on a brand new 55 inch Roku TCL 4K LED Smart tv and as we were putting the legs on it my son came and banged on it, nothing looked outta place until we plugged it in and turned it on, the led screen is cracked and we are looking for a not super costly replacement screen or decently price repair shop that will repair it without charging an arm and a leg.

I have a 50″ samsung flat screen. Cracked screen when you turn it on you can hear that it does turn on but shows nothing. Where can i get a replacement screen.

I have a Samsung model code UN46d8000YFXZA, version No. H302, S/N Z2ZE3CYB900091J. It was damaged a few years ago by a marble and seems to be below the surface affecting the screen, but not the glass. I never got rid of the tv as this was very expensive and this occurred shortly after it was purchased in hopes of one day finding a way to fix. Attempts a few years ago were fruitless.

I have a 50″ smart Roku and my son threw my daughters chapstick at it and I think the screen is cracked inside. When it’s off it looks brand new and when it’s on it shows double screens horizontal. Any suggestion?

Thank you for the response. I contacted Samsung and I’m waiting on a response. They should be able to take a look at it and get it fixed. Just seems like no one can repair it except Samsung.

I have Samsung curved 4k TV. My son thew a toy and cracked it on the top of the tv now there is black line down the tv. I am not worried about the crack. Its small crack just wanted to know if the black line can be repaired.

I have a 32″ TCL roku smart TV. The screen is broken, is there another brand if screen that it uses? I cannot find its replacement online and the manufacturer does not supply it.

My Philips Led TV which is just 2 months old, fell off the wall yesterday. It is fine from outside but when I turn the TV on, the screen has cracked from inside and darkened too. My TV has 3 years warranty. Is there anyway by which we can get it repaired under warranty?

If your Philips LED TV fell off the wall and cracked internally, it will not be covered by warranty. Did you get any type of extended warranty when you purchased it? If so you can make a claim and usually any kind of damage in any form is covered. If you do not have an extended warranty, you will need to find out what is broken and what needs to be replaced. Specialty TV parts can be purchased online.

My brother threw a remote at my Sanyo plasma TV. It’s not cracked from the outside visibly but when you turn it on there’s a fat crack with complete darkness with multicolored lines. I don’t know what to do.

Hi, I have a 31.5″ Sanyo HDTV with LCD screen. My tv worked fine when power went off. I think they were working on power lines outside. Later that night I turned tv on and top left corner looked like a spider web. But you could still see tv picture through it. I couldn’t find my warranty papers so I put tv back in original box and stored it. I took it out to put in extra bedroom and tv has lines and looks like liquid pouring in screen. There is no visible damage to screen. So I don’t think anything hit the tv. The tv is only 3 years old and has wifi, netflix, etc on it. I hate to junk it if it’s worth fixing. I paid $350 for tv. Any advice?

How do I fix my 60″ lg smart tv .it is displaying rainbow lines down and flashing across. It was hit when you turn the tv on you can see where it was hit .I believe it’s cracked inside

If the TV is cracked from the inside, a new screen will be needed to fix the rainbow lines. Try looking online for an aftermarket screen and you may find one for less than OEM.

Our samsung lcd tv has a star looking “crack” apparently in the internal screen . It was hit by a toy. The tv is still working fine but in the corner it looks like a rainbow colored star. How long is the tv going to last in your opinion before it completely goes?

It should work for some time…. just depends how bad the internal crack is. If it not distorting your view, let it go as it should be okay as long as the TV is not hit or knocked over again. However… heat may make the crack bigger and make the TV unviewable. If the TV is left on for a long time, it may heat the area up and make the crack worse. Keep an eye on it and if the crack gets larger, you may need to replace the screen or get a new TV.

OMG. Thank you so much remove and replace.com. When I first contacted the warranty people they gave me a very quick no that’s it that’s all get off my phone response. Today I contacted them and just using your advice come to find out indeed I am covered and they will be shipping me my box and label within the next five days. I am very grateful for your site, you guys are the greatest..Thanks again.

I have a 40 inch Element HD TV, the inside screen is cracked and its getting worse. How can I save my television set event though I have a warranty. They say it does not cover cracked screens. Please help!

Was the screen on your Element TV hit or did the TV fall over? If so then the warranty will not cover the crack. If you can prove that the screen was not hit and the screen crack was caused by a heat related issue, then at times they will cover it but the process will take some time. If the inside screen is cracked and not the outer screen, you can say the crack is a heat related issue and therefore is a defect in the screen or TV boards heating up. Was the TV hit or did it fall over?

Television is a very intimate object in our daily lives. It not just entertains and informs us about the happenings around us, but it also helps unite families at several houses as we binge on our favourite movies and TV shows together. And despite it being the age of hand-held gadgets, there are still enough people around who prefer television to mobile. No doubt, it feels terrifying when your beloved TV gets a cracked screen.

Though a cracked TV screen is not something that happens so often. But when it happens, not any random mechanic should be assigned the task of repairing it. Instead, only the experts who know the job in and out should be called upon.

Besides, here’re some important things and suggestions, directly from our experts, you must go through before moving ahead on cracked tv screen repair

Firstly, the question is how TV screens can get cracked. Well, there are umpteen reasons to cause this. In most cases, it is accidentally damaged. Your child kicking or hitting at a ball that, unfortunately, lands up at the heart of the TV! Or, the television, placed precariously at the edge of a table, tips over and develops a crack! And at times, you may drop it while either moving or installing it. So it’s advisable to place your TV out of kids’ reach, and you had better not allow kids to play balls in that room. Also, its installation and movement (from one place to another) should be immaculately done, preferably with the help of trained professionals.

Now, the next question is what if your TV screen does get cracked? Is it the end of the story (as some internet articles seem to claim) or you can still get it repaired successfully?

Access the Damage: When a TV screen cracks, there could be several levels of severity and you could be dealing with anything from a completely dead screen to small lines in the picture, and no-picture, no-sound to poor picture quality.

Unless you’re skilled at electronics, you should not try to fix the problem at home, especially if it’s a flat-screen CRT. Most often than not, you end up touching it wrong and are likely to get a serious jolt.

Check Your TV Warranty: A feasible thing to do here is, bring out the papers and check if the TV is still within the warranty period. If yes, then all you need to do is to take the TV to the authorized service centre (Please, make sure to contact the guys only at an authorised service centre to get genuine services). Most probably, you will earn a free repair or a paid repair or a replacement (depends on the reason behind the damage and the sub-clauses in the warranty contract from your TV manufacturer/supplier).

Get A Professional, Authorized Repair:Taking your TV to a professional, authorized service center is your best choice to get your TV screen back to life. If you spot any such issue in your Synix TV screen, walk down to your nearest Carlcare service center immediately. Our trained TV technicians will check it thoroughly and give proper detail of the damage, as well as providing a cost-effective repairing. We are skilled in fixing cracked TV screen of various brands. In case your TV is not a recent purchase and the warranty period has lapsed, we ensure you the best repair at the best prices, combined with authentic and professional advice from our experts.

TV experts at Carlcare can determine the extent of the damage to give it a fix that’s needed. A minor crack may not be difficult to repair and may not be all that expensive. A slightly deeper crack or multiple cracks may be irreparable or may require replacement. In either case, you can rest assured that we will never misguide you but assist you with the best of our intentions.

It is not easy finding suitable compatible replacement screens though. You could try searching online using the part number of the screen itself. This is usually found on the back of the LCD panel.

An option to consider is to advertise your TV as faulty screen - good for parts to try and recoup some of the cost towards a new TV. There is always a demand for good working TV boards.

can a cracked tv lcd screen be fixed made in china

Who can say ‘no’ to a free TV, even if it’s broken? This was the situation [Andrew Menadue] ended up in last year when he was offered an LG 39LE4900 LCD TV. As [Andrew] describes in the blog post along with videos (see first part embedded after the break), this particular television had been taken to a television repair shop previously after the HDMI inputs stopped working, but due to a lack of replacement parts the owner had to make due with the analog inputs still working. That is, until those stopped working as well.

The nice thing about these TVs is that they are very modular inside, as [Andrew] also discovered to his delight. In addition to the LG controller board, an inverter board and the power supply board, this TV also contained a TCON PCB. After some initial unsuccessful swapping of the parts with EBay replacements, nothing was (surprisingly) working, but it did turn out that the TCON and inverter boards are made and sold by AUO (major Taiwanese display manufacturer), along with the display itself.

In the end it turned out that the AUO boards and screen were fine, and after sourcing a board to convert VGA input to the LVDS signal accepted by the TCON board, the whole display worked. Naturally using a board with HDMI inputs would be nice, but it does show how a ‘broken’ TV can be turned into a really nice, big monitor without all too much effort if it’s just the controller board that went on the fritz.

TVs are some of the most commonly repaired household items. If you have a broken TV, you may be wondering how to fix it. First of all, don’t panic! Most problems with TVs are easily remedied (depending on complexity), and most can be done yourself, without the help of your local repairman.

TVs are large and fragile, making them difficult to handle. But no matter how careful you are, accidents happen. You might have kids or pets that accidentally knock your TV over. Or, there might be a sudden power surge and your screen busts. Whatever the cause, it’s an expensive mistake to make.

A cracked TV screen is one of the most common fears that come with dropping a lot of money on a shiny new HDTV. And while you don’t necessarily need an expert to fix this issue, you do need to know how much it’ll cost — but we can help.

You can fix a cracked TV screen, but the cost to get it fixed will be just as high or even more than buying a new television. The display is usually the most expensive part of any TV set, so you can expect that an individual replacement will cost about as much as the rest of your TV set combined.

This article breaks down the various questions you may have regarding how much it costs to repair a cracked television screen and if coverage through a manufacturer’s warranty still applies.

One of the most common problems with a television is the screen. It’s not unusual to have problems with your TV screen, especially if you have a more expensive one. But I’m sure you don’t want to spend money on an expensive repair.

If not, your best option will be to find someone who is willing to repair your television set. Here are some of the great tips that you can use to fix a broken TV screen.

1. Check A Fuse: If your screen is not working at all, it’s great to check the fuse first. Many times, when a TV screen is not working, it’s because it’s blown. If this is the case, you have to replace it with a new one. Before you change the fuse, you have to make sure that there is no voltage in the line. In order to do it, you should unplug the TV and remove the back cover. After that, look for a fuse. If it’s blown, replace it with a new fuse.

2. Open A Cover If you find that the fuse is ok, it means that there is an electrical problem with the TV. At this point, you have to open a cover of the back panel and check the main electrical board. After you find it, locate a chip called T-con. It’s a great indicator that the electrical system of your TV is not working well. It’s possible that the T-con has been burned by voltage.

3. Check A Power Supply Next, if the TV screen is not working, you have to check the power supply. In order to do it, you should turn off the TV and unplug the power cable. After that, you should remove the back cover and check a power cable. If it’s loose, you should tighten it or replace it with a new one.

4. Check For Shorted Components: When you have to check for a blown fuse in a TV, you have to check for something else as well. When a fuse blowed, other components might be damaged as well. The best thing to do is to look for shorts.

While you cannot fix your TV, you can make it better. There is always a secondary market for used goods — and this applies to TVs, too. The cost of fixing a broken TV screen is far greater than replacing an entire TV set.

It depends on the make and model of your TV, the type of screen that needs fixing, the size of the screen, and how long you have had the TV. Also, you must consider the type of damage that needs repairing.

There are many types of damage. The most common ones are cracks, chips, or scratches. There are also more serious problems, such as burned spots, damaged pixels, or even dead pixels.

Screen damage can lead to a complete loss of image quality. In some cases, it may even result in the screen turning black. The most common type of screen damage is characterized by small cracks on the screen surface. These cracks can prevented, but not if you drop your TV or put something heavy on it.

The TV repairman will give you his estimate of the repair cost of your broken TV, and if you agree to the amount he will use it to fix your TV. The average cost of a broken LCD TV screen is usually between $200 and $400, depending on the model of your TV and the damage to the screen. The TV screen may need to be replaced, if the screen is cracked or damaged. The TV repairman will also check for any other damage that may have occurred to your TV.

Among the most widespread issues with brand new TV would be the one that most of us pay the least attention to, but which could be the most expensive problem of all. At the very least, it will cause you to invest more in the repair and replacement of parts than the TV itself is worth.

If you have a damaged LCD or LED TV, the good news is that this type of television can be repaired. However, you should be aware that most manufacturers do not cover the cost of repairs after the warranty expires.

7. Fix the new screen into proper position. The blue connection points of the new and old screens have the same polarity, so that new one can be fastened with old one’s mounting screws.

Television screens cost so much to produce because of the high-quality materials and intricate designs that are required. The production process is also very complex, involving many different steps and specialized equipment.

If you recently purchased a new TV, it’s highly likely that it was made in China’s Anhui Province, at the BoE Technology factory. In just one mile, this massive factory pumps out screen after screen for some of the most popular brands: Sony, Samsung, LG, Vizio and many more.

Building a TV screen is a complex process, with thousands of people working hard to optimise the technology. The complex process involves a number of steps- each one linking together to form long chains of production:

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) needs to be applied on glass to make electrical signals viable, but it has to adhere properly without any imperfections in the surface area. Hundreds of engineers apply this coating process layer by layer;

Silicon must be applied onto ITO, and that’s when you start seeing individual pixels– tiny little cells formed minutely by engineers. Each cell consists of for transistor parts and chemicals, each encased in its own protective barrier;

This process is repeated thousands upon thousands of times — with different colours for different pixels — until you have the desired TV display. Thousands upon thousands of engineers work tirelessly to complete this monotonous task.

One of the main reasons your TV screen is so expensive is because they are very difficult to manufacture. Only a handful of companies in the world are able to produce them, which drives up the cost.

1 out of every 3 TV screens you see at the end of the manufacturing process fail to meet quality control standards. That’s 2 out of every 3 screens that never make it to your screen – even though they’re created in the same factory as the TV sets you do see in stores.

Similarly, 29% of all televisions are damaged during shipping. The cost of a single set is offset by the damage incurred when transporting it from its place of origin, and also by loss in inventory if a screen is broken or suffers other forms of damage prior to use.

This means that less than half of all televisions make it through manufacturing unscathed and hit retail shelves, but that’s not where their story ends.

Most manufacturers have a 1-year limited warranty that covers TV issues at no cost to you, although there are certain exceptions. Screens with cracks or breaks are not covered by the warranty, but most issues in the first year of ownership are and any screen issue that comes up after 12 months is likely to be covered by your manufacturer.

If you have an imperfection in your TV screen, it is best to know that most defects are covered by the warranty (in the first year). The majority of issues that arise with a TV happen within the first year — so there’s no need to worry if you register after 30 days.

However, there are some problems that won’t qualify for your warranty — having an actual crack or break on your screen will not be covered by most warranties.

I’m sorry to hear about the television. This is bad news — many repair people will not even look at your television if it’s broken because they just don’t have time.

If you purchase a Walmart Protection Plan after your purchase, you can experience the convenience of having the manufacturer’s warranty cover the cost of your damages, both accidental and non-accidental. Most of the coverage plans offered by Walmart protect against accidental damage and extended warranties.

Yes, if you are using a protection plan that offers coverage for accidental damage. You should also make sure that your TV is properly secured in your living room or entertainment area in order to avoid tipping over and causing damage.

LG will only cover a defective screen on an LG TV for a limited period after purchase and only if the warranty has not been voided. The warranty does not cover screen damage caused by an impact or other external force.

If your screen is cracked, you should call the customer support and claim for a new screen under the warranty. Otherwise, you can simply buy a new screen for your TV. You must order the screen of the same model as your TV, otherwise, it will not fit in properly. You can also find a new screen from another source, like amazon.com.

Unfortunately, repairing a broken TV is not always an option. This is because the screen itself is the most expensive part of any television set — shipping costs and damage caused during transportation cause the overall price to skyrocket past what it would cost to purchase a brand new TV.

Unfortunately, there are no repair services out there that can fix your cracked or broken TV in such a way that it lasts for long. The same goes for warranties — if you break your own TV and decide to call customer service about getting a replacement set it can be a pointless venture as well, since most warranties do not cover accidental damage issues such as broken glass screens or cracks on the casing.

Replacing the cracked glass with a functioning touchscreen is much cheaper. You usually can find suppliers online for $6 to $20 for a phone. A tablet replacement digitizer can cost about $50 or more if you perform the work.

It is relatively easy and cheap to replace the glass on a phone once you get the hang of it. Tablets are a bit more involved because of the larger size and added components.

Tools might require an additional monetary outlay if you do not have a well-functioning workbench. Depending on the device involved, you need a phone opener pry tool, little tweezers to deal with small cables inside, a Torx screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver and a precision screwdriver kit.

Add to that list either a variable hair dryer or a heat gun to soften glued phone parts. Also add scissors, double-sided adhesive tape, canned air and work gloves.

It is first things first when it comes to fixing cracks on a smartphone’s screen. Often, the actual screen is not cracked at all. You may have installed a glass screen protector when you purchased the phone.

The film covers can become cloudy or scratched. They usually help absorb shock from items dropping on the tablet to lessen risk of cracking the touchscreen glass under it.

When the culprit really is a damaged screen, choosing one of the next three approaches can help you solve the problem. You might be able to repair the damage rather than replace it.

For instance, is the screen clouded or otherwise damaged from your mistaken use of harsh cleaning fluids or coarse paper towels to clean the screen? If so, there is a fix for that.

Is the screen merely cracked or full-out broken — as in massive spider cracks from being smashed? You can cure a cracked screen on a phone or tablet more easily with Sugru, a commercial product. A fully cracked screen on either type of device is a solid candidate for a screen replacement.

If your phone or tablet screen shows signs of cleaning abuse or wear from heavy handling, return its condition to nearly new with an oleophobic coating kit. This is an oil-repellent coating that protects the screen, along with adding smoothness and reducing fingerprints.

The coating, a thin layer of fluoropolymer-based solids, is similar to Teflon and is bonded to the glass. You can buy the coating kit from a variety of electronic supply stores and online outlets.

Prepare a wiping finger. The oleophobic coating’s liquid solvent evaporates very quickly when applied, so once you start, work quickly. Wrap one finger with plastic wrap or a sandwich bag. Use this finger to rub the coating liquid onto the screen.

Apply 10-15 drops of the coating to the screen’s surface. If the phone or tablet screen has a large surface, apply 10 drops to a portion of the screen, working on one portion at a time.

Wipe the screen dry with a clean microfiber cloth. Then give the coating time to dry. Do not touch the screen for 8-12 hours to allow the coating to bond to the surface.

If your only complaint involves tiny scratches and cracks on a smartphone screen or a tablet glass, there are remedies that work with varying degrees of reliability. You can use a household eraser pad or an actual pencil eraser.

Pencil erasers also work reasonably well in making scratches disappear. Simply rub the scratch left and right with the eraser for about 60 seconds. Then rub it up and down for 60 seconds.

Does using toothpaste to fill in the cracks really work? I put that fix in the category of more “mythful” thinking, but I know people who swear that this method is a cheap fix that works.

Sugru is a moldable glue kit for repairing rather than replacing cracked screens. Actually, the product was not created with phone and tablet repairs in mind. Its intended purpose is more in the line of general repairs where bonding surfaces together and filling surfaces are needed.

Depending on how badly the screen is damaged, it can be a good solution for cracks that spread from the phone or tablet screen’s edges. However, for massive cracks that spread over the entire screen — as spider cracks tend to do over time — it will be a short-term fix at best.

If your phone or tablet screen has suffered more serious damage, full scale surgery is the only option other than getting a new device. Repairing the device’s LCD screen is a complicated procedure due to the compact internal design.

The repair process involves completely dismantling the phone or tablet’s outer casing. It is particularly easy if the replacement screen comes with a top frame.

Otherwise, you may have to seal the layers to avoid loss of structural strength and moisture/dust protection. You can use either sealing pads for the size of the particular device at hand or double-sided sticky tape. A simpler solution for phone screen replacement is to use B-7000/T-7000 glue.

Before you roll up your sleeves to get started, take one huge safety step. Buy and use a static wristband and a static guard mat. This will ensure against accidentally frying any electronic components while disassembling and reassembling the devices. Disconnecting the battery is not always a guarantee that static discharge will not happen.

The first step is to tear down the device so you can assess the extent of the damage and determine what screen parts to order. Locate the model number for the LCD screen. Use this number in an Internet search to find a replacement screen.

The part or model number usually is printed on a label adhered to the sensor cable attached to the screen. You can access this cable after you separate the screen from the rest of the unit. Carefully disconnect the cable connector from the backside of the screen along the edge.

Step 2: Loosen any stuck-on cabling that is now exposed, like the camera cable. Then remove cables if the clasps are exposed. These cables simply slide out of any exposed sockets after clasps are released. The tape-style cables are often held onto the frame and parts by adhesive, so tug gently to release.

Step 3: Unscrew the Phillips or Torx screws that hold the motherboard-containing back frame to the LCD-containing chassis and place the screws in a bowl for safe-keeping. Then separate the back frame from the chassis by gently and carefully pulling the two apart.

Step 4: Remove any further cable assemblies that have become exposed by the separation of parts. Maintain visual cues as to which cable to reattach where. For example, place them on the work surface face-up in the order of removal. Or take photos with a digital camera or smartphone.

Step 5: Remove the LCD-containing chassis from the front frame or bezel and glass assembly by unscrewing a second batch of screws. Store the second set of screws in a second bowl. Remove any further parts such as the camera.

Step 6: Don’t touch the LCD face. Separate the existing, damaged glass from the bezel or front frame by waving the heat gun over the adhesive join and pulling apart. Wear gloves here because the process involves further breaking the glass.

Tip: Be patient while the heat gun loosens the adhesive and be careful not to break the bezel or front frame while removing the glass. You need the bezel intact.

Step 1: Attach fresh two-sided tape to areas of the bezel that have lost their stickiness. Use the existing adhesive where possible. Do not allow tape to overlap the visual part of the glass.

Step 2: Look for any foam padding or seals and reattach. Do not touch the inside of the glass. You won’t be able to get rid of the fingerprints after assembly.

Step 3: Thread the digitizer cable and remount the new digitizer glass to the bezel by firmly pressing it into place. Then remove any dust from the LCD and glass with canned air.

You may have to assemble and disassemble a few times. The two sets of screws use similar holes. It is easy to insert the initial set of screws into the wrong holes. You will realize that only when the second set does not fit because you already used the hole.

Replacing damaged touchscreens and digitizer panels is not rocket science, but the process does require careful attention to details. Following visual guides and screenshots can make the difference between initial success and having to make second or third efforts.
