Today, most cell phones, tablets, and computers use LCD screens. LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display, and the technology allows devices to run more efficiently than older models because it uses a backlit LED system to light the screen, drawing less power. However, they can wear down over time, and the signs of a failing LCD screen differ from those of older screen types. In some cases, it may be necessary to invest in screen repair service to keep your devices working as intended. Here are some of the ways you can determine if that’s necessary.

3 Signs That Your LCD Screen Needs to Be Repaired

Screen Blotches

If you notice that there’s a specific part of your screen where the picture is obstructed no matter what app or image you pull up, that could be a sign of damage. Screen blotches normally appear after the screen has been struck with something that caused that area to rupture. This may require a full LCD grid replacement.

Dead Pixels

Dead pixels are usually smaller than screen blotches and can also be spread out across the screen. They’re tiny points that don’t light up fully with the rest of the screen. It’s usually easiest to tell if you have dead pixels when you have an image pulled up that is predominantly bright white. Scan the entire screen and look for little dots that don’t match. If you notice any, the problem is likely to continue, so bring your device to a professional who can see if there’s an easy fix or if the screen needs to be replaced with a newer one.

Screen Cracks

If you drop your cell phone or hit it with a blunt object, the screen could also crack or shatter, obstructing the view and functionality. This issue is pretty easy to spot, and a reputable repair company can replace the screen for you if it happens. 

Excess Warm-up Time

When you first turn on your device, the LCD screen should only take seconds to reach its full brightness. It’s natural for this process to slow down a bit over time. However, if you notice your screen is taking minutes to warm up, the backlight display probably needs to be repaired or replaced.
