Broken laptop, what can I do?

He was on the floor, I fell and then that happens…

What does that mean and can you fix it?

Only something broke on the display

This is a so-called display break. To do this, the entire display must be replaced effectively. Depending on the model, you have to expect at least 150-200 euro. Touch-capable models would again be located a corner higher. With a precise model name, you can say more precisely without marching directly to the nearest workshop.

Alternatively, a monitor / television can be connected via an HDMI / Displayport cable and used as a display device. You would only have to successfully fool yourself through the display settings of the device once.

Alone the statement that "only" something broke on the display.

The display is broken because you can only have the display completely replaced.

With inexpensive notebooks, such an exchange would also be more expensive than the complete notebook.

Since the cheapest thing you can do is use an external monitor, but you can only use the notebook stationary.

With a slightly higher-priced notebook, a repair might be worthwhile, but you should inquire with the manufacturer.

Such a display costs around € 100-200, depending on the size and quality.

Exchange in a workshop about 50-100, - €

So probably somewhere between € 150 and € 300

Annoying, but if only the display is repairable. Depending on the model, between 100-200 euro for the display and 1-2 hours of work depending on the exercise.

Whether it is worth? Depends on the device.

You can also go and look for a suitable display on ebay, prices up to 100 euro.
You can find instructions for replacing the display on youtube.

It's not rocket science if you bring some skill.

You can have the display exchanged. However, this is often so expensive that it is better to buy a new laptop. As an alternative, you could simply buy a monitor and connect it.
