Seen as there were no other practical alternatives in the past, a lot of people had to purchase a new LCD monitor in case the screen on their laptop failed. The LCD monitor repair stores weren't really reachable as well as the expenses of repair just weren't worth it.
During the repair the LCD panel in addition to the battery was necessary to get replaced. This led to most people opting to buy a new Laptop rather than fixing an existing model.
There are certain LCD monitor problems which could be repaired and others which could not be repaired. If you notice vertical lines or dead pixels in your screen, the only real option is to replace the LCP panel.

If some circuit within the laptop fails because you did not follow the necessary precautions, you may not be able to get it replaced. So before trying anything, be sure that the product is well out of warranty.
Here's the best way to take apart your laptop and identify the source of the problem...
1. Turn it off
After switching off your laptop fully you ought to wait a few minutes before carrying on. It is necessary for the laptop to cool down before you begin messing with it. Ensure that you remove the AC power cord from your laptop.
As soon as the AC power cord is disconnected, take out the battery from its dock (which is under your laptop). I encourage you to put on an anti-static wrist strap prior to dismantling any piece of equipment be it your laptop or desktop computer.
2. Remove plastic frame
The laptop screen is kept in place with a plastic frame referred to as bezel. You should take off this plastic frame by removing the screws that hold it. In some models, you might have to dislodge several rubber seals before dismantling the screws (which you'll find underneath the seals). Make sure that you read your product's instruction manual thoroughly before dismantling it.
3. Examine the cable connections
After you have successfully pulled the frame away, the cable connections should be examined. The monitor has primarily two cable connections:
- A connection to the inverter board via a power cable
- A link to the mother board through a video cable
Unplug these cables and reconnect them. After connecting them, switch your monitor on.
