broken lcd screen prank supplier

For many young people, their computer is the most expensive and cherished thing that they own. If you want to pull a prank of them, why not hit them where it hurts? This video presents a novel idea for a computer prank: loading an image of a cracked LCD screen full-screen on their monitor and unplugging their keyboard and mouse. When your victim returns to their computer, it will seem very convincingly broken.

This is a simple, though effective joke for any user of a tower PC. This will work ONLY ON TOWER PCs, NOT LAPTOPS! I found this prank somewhere in my travels, and feel it my duty to pass it to to the other devious and nefarious users of the world.

Go to your preferred search engine, and type in something like "Cracked LCD Screen" in image search. Find an image that fits the resolution of the monitor, and download it. Put it in it"s on folder, free of ANY other files. Yes, that"s right, a folder with just one image in it! Shocking, I know.

ALSO---- Make sure the time before the screen saver turns on is set to the absolute lowest, say 30 seconds. If your PC will go into it"s screen-saving state before then , make it do so!

All the preparations are now done, and you have no challenge left but to keep a straight face as you enjoy the torment of your victim as he/she struggles to discover the cause of this tragic incident. If you want, feel free to augment the joke with a believable story about how you "Accidentally" "Broke" their Screen.

PS, I want to hear your stories! Let me know who you targeted, why you pranked them , and how long you went before you decided to be a merciful over lord and let them in on this insidious prank.

You could paste the picture on word and make it full over the page if the paper is as large as the screen. Very funny but my father isn"t good with jokes. :(0

Great Idea, this is so deliciously evil. You could get this to work with a laptop it would just be a bit more involved. Their is a way to to turn the touch pad and I believe the keyboard off. But I would suggest that you have an external mouse that you can use to restore the persons computer after the prank.Post Comment

Trying to scare your friends??? Its almost April 1st and with new technology coming out, new and better pranks are made. Simply using apps or walllpapers. Its that simple!!

The first thing to do is to choose whether to download "cracked screen" as an app or wallpaper. I personally would choose an app as its got more specifications and it looks more realistic.

Whether you want to play a prank on your friends or you just want to have a good time, Broken Screen Prank will provide you loads of fun and a whole new experience using the most realistic effects for your device.

Broken Screen is just a prank/simulated app used for fun, it simulates the broken screen effect to play with your friends. It will not harm your phone.

Broken Screen Prank is a classic funny app used to prank your friends. When you touch your phone screen, the app simulates the cracked screen and loud cracking sounds on your phone. It looks like you use your finger to break and crack your phone. The broken effect is so realistic that all your friends will believe that your phone was broken and they will be scared.

You may get one or two lines appear without external influence, but no more than that. This is damaged caused by pressure or impact to the screen from an external source.

I"ve seen screens like this in the past. It can be either the VGA (but I guess you tried it on another computer and tried another screen on this computer).

Sorry to be the extreme minority here, but- I have had screens develop stripes and streaks all on there own.  If you do not see evidence of something physical, I have to go with the user!

The damage would not necessarily show a scratch. The top panel is OK, it is the underneath layer that has broken. Working in a school, I have seen this many times. The monitor looks fine when turned off. You only see the damage when it is displaying input. In the school. there is almost always an identified culprit. It only "just happens" when there is no adult in the room at the time!

Based on my experience that"s clearly physical damage. I"ve seen it a few times on laptop screens, and once on an external monitor which was dropped.  In the situations where I have seen this happen, there wasn"t damage to the surface layer of the LCD panel, but rather the internal layers were cracked and causing the rainbow stripe effect we"re seeing in the picture you posted.

Assuming the user is telling the truth, it"s reasonable that they stepped away from their desk and returned to find the display broken. In the absence of further evidence, the only reasonable course of action is to replace the display and have the department manager address the department as a whole.

I"ve had that "just happen" before.  That was the end of my Lenovo X41...  It was sitting in tablet mode, nothing touching it, just there by itself when it the screen blew up like that.  No visible damage anywhere and was working just fine until all of a sudden it wasn"t anymore.

That broken spot on the screen lines up with where I have seen thumbs on flat displays where the corner of the frame is in your palm.  Most of the time people are grabbing the displays there to physically move the displays around in cubes like if you want somebody else to get a clear view of your monitor. Trying to prove that it was intentional will not be fun.

Lines can show up on their own.  That black spot?  That can only happen from physical damage.  The diagonal split down the right is also clear evidence of a physically cracked LCD.  This did not happen on it"s own.  Last time I saw a monitor that looked like this a student had thrown it on the floor, and then stomped on it.

We inspected all of them before sending out to customers (SOP), and of the 12, we ended up RMA"ing 4 or 5 of them for various manufacturing defects...some had scratches on the screens, at least 2 had dead pixels. These were brand new, out of the box. Clearly was not a good run from the factory.

Hitting the edge of the screen will do it, but it could be something from a shelf above that fell on it, accidentally running into the edge of a desk causing it to fall to the floor, or it could intentional damage with a hard object wielded by an emotional person.  That black area at the top looks like it might be close to the point of impact.  Any bezel damage?  Obviously if the bezel is damaged/cracked, its more cut and dried that something hit the screen or the screen hit something.

Replace it and don"t speculate on how it happened. If there were witnesses, they can testify as to what they saw/heard to the person"s manager and HR.  If it was intentional, the manager and HR need to determine the liability of having someone who has shown they can have violent outbursts plus the screen replacement versus the costs hiring and training a new employee.

It is possible (barely) for a screen to break on it"s own or after very light pressure, like someone gently poking it. But, I"ve only heard of this happening with glass screens.

When manufactured, glass can store an incredible amount of pressure and force - look up Prince Rupert"s Drop for a great example. So, it is possible in extremely rare occassions that a glass panel gets through QA after a major production problem, and ends up in a screen. That glass would usually break during assembly or shipping, but not always. So, it"s possible for a screen to be delivered on the verge of cracking; a light poke in just the right place, a change in temperature/humidity causing pressure from the case, or even just time could result in a large crack. But as I said, it is extremely rare, and the glass is teetering on a razor edge the entire time.

But that screen does not look like it has a glass panel, and I don"t see any cracks. I"m 99.99% sure that was caused by an impact. You can get lines of miscolored pixels from degradation or manufacturing errors, but you don"t get regions that are completely white (like the bottom) or spots that are completely black (like the top) unless there is real damage.

Edit: and an extra thought: you have tried to move some of the desktop icons into that solid white or solid black area, right? There"s a chance that this is an elaborate prank on the new guy, and we are seeing an excellent desktop wallpaper. After the recent thread about reminding users to lock their screens, it is a possibility.

I"m gonna say it MIGHT just happen depending on any extreme thermal changes to the screen/ the environment the screen is in, but more likely it was a frustrated end user.

However, if the digitizer or LCD is also damaged during a fall, that screen no longer carries value because it cannot be refurbished. Repair shops cannot sell broken LCDs to refurbishing companies; therefore, they cannot offset the cost of an LCD repair. That is why repair stores often charge a little extra if there is damage to the LCD or digitizer, to make up for that loss. Repair stores that don’t have an additional charge for an LCD repair typically inflate their glass repair price to make up for the loss from damaged LCDs. If they have one price, that means everyone is paying more to cover the cost of customers who have damaged LCDs and customers who only have cracked glass. This is why TCR separates the price of glass and LCD repairs for you! If you only have cracked glass, you only have to worry about paying to replace the cracked glass.

If your phone or tablet’s glass is shattered there will be cracks or chips on the screen itself. If it is just the glass that is damaged, the device may still function and you may be able to use it normally. If this is the case, it is likely that only the glass needs to be replaced. To prevent further damage to your device it is best to get it repaired quickly. For example, if liquids seep through the cracks it could cause permanent damage to the LCD.

Many people may continue to use their touchscreen with shattered glass and delay fixing the glass on their devices; however, if the touchscreen isn’t responsive, it could be a sign of more significant damage to the device’s digitizer which is integrated with the LCD screen.

A pixelated screen can indicate LCD damage. This would look like a patch of multicolored dots, a line or lines of discoloration, or a screen with rainbow colors. For many people, these colors are an easy way to know that their LCD is broken and that they should get it repaired.

Dropping your phone isn’t the only reason you’ll end up with a pixelated screen. Over time, your screen’s LCD may break down through regular use. This happens to other devices aside from your smartphone or tablet. Pixelation can happen to TVs and computers, too. People typically decide to buy a new device when this happens. Fortunately, with an LCD repair, you can fix the device without needing to replace it.

A black screen or black spots on your smartphone or tablet is an indication of a damaged LCD. Often with a bad LCD, a phone may still turn on and make noises, but there is no clear picture. This does not necessarily mean any other part of the phone is damaged and a simple screen replacement will get it functioning again. Sometimes it can mean a battery or other internal component is damaged. It is best to have a highly qualified phone repair technician diagnose what is wrong so the appropriate repair can be made.

Fortunately, your mobile device is fixable whether you cracked the glass or damaged the LCD. Stop by or call TCR: Triangle Cellular Repair at (919) 263-2699 for a free diagnostic and quick, affordable cell phone repair in Chapel Hill and surrounding areas. We’re always happy to help!

Since there"s no consistency between motherboard manufacturers, no step-by-step instructions can be provided. You can refer to University of Wisconsin Division of Information Technology"s knowledge base page for your particular manufacturer"s board on how to enter the BIOS settings on various motherboards during boot. Typical keys are [F12], [F11], [F10], [Del] or [End]. Typical keys for entering the boot selection screen are [F12], [F11], [F10], [F9] or [Del]. Some keyboards may require holding down the [Fn] key too. The manual that came with your motherboard can provide further clues, or you can try exploring all the sub-menus of the BIOS yourself.

To access the boot selection screen on Mac, hold the [Option] ([Alt] on ASCII keyboards) key while booting. On newer UEFI Macs, you may first need to turn Secure Boot to “No Security” and enable “Allow booting from external media” from the recovery mode (accessed by pressing and holding [CMD] ([Win] on ASCII keyboards)+[R] immediately after you see the Apple logo while booting).

Perhaps you"d like to spread the love and install Batocera onto a machine from an already set-up USB stick? Or maybe you just want to install Batocera directly to your hard-drive. Or maybe you want to prank someone. This is for that.
