Computer Repair Connection offers laptop screen repair and replacements. We keep many of the most common PC computer screens as well as MacBook screen assemblies in stock for fast computer screen repairs. Replacement computer screens start at $49 and installations also start at $49. If we have the needed replacement screen in stock, repairs are completed within 1-2 business days after approval. For PC or MacBook screen repairs requiring a part order, deliveries normally arrive with 2-5 business days and are installed within 2 days of receiving the order. If needed you may use your computer if possible, while part arrives.
We do offer same day computer repair service if needed. We do not offer quotes over the phone as actual part numbers are needed from the current screen to determine technology, resolution, and connector type. Unfortunately computer model numbers do not provide the needed information on your current screen, which is why we must have the laptop looked at by a technician for a proper screen identification and quote.
We're conveniently located in south Austin, right off the Ben White frontage road near Menchaca Rd. Stop by for a quote on your computer screen repair. After receiving your quote, declined repairs are subject to $19 assessment fee. Diagnostics are always free for approved repairs.

A Little LCD History
The history of LCD screens dates back to the late 1960s when the first practical liquid crystal displays (LCDs) were developed. The initial purpose of LCD technology was to replace bulky cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays. In 1971, the first dynamic scattering LCD was created by James Fergason at Kent State University, which showcased a monochrome display. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, advancements in LCD technology continued, with breakthroughs such as twisted nematic (TN) displays and supertwisted nematic (STN) displays. These displays offered improved contrast and response times. However, it was not until the 1990s that LCD screens started gaining popularity. The introduction of thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD technology in the 1990s greatly enhanced image quality, color reproduction, and viewing angles. This led to the widespread adoption of LCD screens in various applications, including computer monitors, televisions, and mobile devices. Over the years, LCD technology has continued to evolve, with innovations such as LED backlighting, higher resolutions, and improved energy efficiency, solidifying its position as the dominant display technology in the digital era.
