So, I have an Aspire One Netbook, it got stepped on and the screen has a few cracks and some black specks here and there. It is starting to go away very slowly. I am wondering how this happened. 0.o

I have a line in my HP Pavilion TX2000 screen. I want to say its a crack, but you can’t feel it and my touch screen works fine. Its more cosmetic then anything else. Is it a crack or something else? In order to get it to go away do I have to replace the screen? I can just buy a new LCD screen and do it myself right? Thanks!

Hi,

I tripped on the cord and so my laptop dropped. I didnt crack or break anything (I hope) How do I know if my screen is ok??? It’s not cracked but now I have this sorta white spots — not sure if they have been and i just noticed it now or it was the result of the drop:(

Thanks!

My son stepped on my Toshiba satellite laptop while it was closed and I now have the same issue as the person stated above…there is crack (that I can not feel) and black liquid pouring out. What can I do to fix it or will it repair itself as the person above stated?

Hello Laptop Dude,
I have a DELL M1530 With a Full Hi Definition, glossy widescreen…
And I ,like a Douche stepped on it , Luckily it was closed and not a hard step thus not cracking The beautiful 15.4 HD screen but Ruining my Extrodinary 3 week old laptop.

To the normal eye it looks like nothing is wrong BUT to me Who is a Filmmaker and Editor – With a Good eye and a need for Visual Satisfaction and Perfection – there is like two or three spots (All in the same area) which from afar look like they are more brighter then the rest of the screen and close-up look like condensed Broken pixels!!

So I think but don’t hope that i Destroyed those areas of The LCD and am looking for the ‘Knight in shining Armour’ that will tell me im wrong and find me a FIX or a Troubleshoot for this kind of thing…

Laptop Freak? are you my knight?
Please be!
Thanks
Alon

p.s. I Refer to you as my knight in the most heterosexual way possible!!!

Dan,

Can a Toshiba A55 S106 cracked screen be removed and the laptop be used with a regular monitor.

Yes, you can do that. I would recommend not just removing the LCD screen, but removing the whole laptop display panel, so your system looks like that. Laptop with removed display panel (only with the keyboard installed). If you want to remove the display panel yourself, you can use my disassembly instructions.

Charles,

There was some “bleeding” but I could use the laptop (and I didn’t move it). After four days, the bleeding got less. Until after three weeks, the bleeding has gone and the screen is clear (but cracked).
Does anyone have a suggestion for either sealing the crack (apoxy, silicon, super glue, etc) or for limiting the spread of the crack?

I wouldn’t use apoxy, silicon, glue, etc… You’ll make it worse. The only way to get rid of this problem is replacing the LCD screen.
I guess you can use anti-glare screen protection – a clear film that you place on the LCD screen.
Of course it will not fix your screen, but it will prevent dust from getting inside.

I cracked my Sony Vaio screen (about 1 cm /0.5 inch) at the top right of the screen.
