LCD Monitor Repair FAQ

I have a black screen, does that mean my panel needs to be replaced?

No. In most cases, a black screen indicates failure of the backlight or high voltage inverter circuit, in rare cases both, normally we repair it to COMPONENT LEVEL and don't need any board replacement but in some special cases specific components are not available and board replacement are required. See rate table for specific pricing information.

How can I tell if my screen needs to be replaced?

The flat panel is the most expensive item to replace, and in some cases, may exceed the value of the unit. Fortunately, they are a lot more rugged than you might think and only a small percentage (10%) require panel replacement. Most defective panels will have obvious physical damage.

Cracked or broken panels obviously need replacement. Other signs of a defective panel is a line or groups of lines that run the length or width of the panel. Problems of this type can be repaired about 50% of the time without incurring the cost of a new panel. And in cases where it can not be repaired, we will notify you to discuss options and acquire authorization for repair completion.
