In this text, you will know how to identify if the notebook screen is burnt and what can and should be done next.
HOW TO KNOW IF THE NOTEBOOK SCREEN BURNED?
But after all, how do you know if your laptop screen actually burned? You can check the behavior of the component to get a better idea. If, for example, when turning on, the notebook screen remains black and does not show any sign of an image. Or, in another similar case, if the screen is dark, but it is possible to see some details of the notebook, even if not very clearly and discreetly. These two situations occur frequently and practically make it impossible for the user to use the screen.
Among other problems that are similar and that may appear on the device’s screen, we can mention: the notebook’s screen with cracks, and/or “leaking” liquid crystal; notebook screen showing white vertical stripes; notebook screen showing several lines, this time multicolored and, finally, notebook screen showing ghosting or color problems.
IS A BROKEN NOTEBOOK SCREEN FIXED?
When a notebook component breaks down or is damaged, it is natural that we may question whether the problem can be fixed or whether it will be necessary to take more extreme measures, such as exchanging the item. With the screen, naturally, it will be no different. Depending on the type of problem, it is very difficult to continue using the device normally, as the view of our commands is extremely compromised.
Some situations can be fixed, especially when they are not directly related to the screen, such as flat-cable problems, for example. However, if you don’t have enough technical knowledge to find out where the fault lies on your own, the ideal thing is to take your laptop to a technical assistance team that specializes in carrying out this type of service.
However, something that is basically unanimous: it is more advantageous to change the screen than the notebook, since most problems related to this component are solved by changing the model. In addition, we agree that this replacement will be much more affordable than choosing to purchase a new device.
HOW TO FIND OUT THE DISPLAY MODEL
Knowing the model of the display is essential to replace it when the component can no longer be used. For this, you will need to know some specifications of your screen , in order not to make mistakes when selecting a new product for your notebook. There are several factors in the different models that can differ from each other, making attention to detail a very important component identification process. There are several characteristics that can be taken into account at this time, as we will show you in the topics that follow.
BY PART NUMBER OF THE KEYBOARD
The best way to discover the correct keyboard model is through the Part Number, which, as with batteries, is the set formed by numbers and letters that identifies the model of the screens. This is the main way to identify your screen, as the information provided by the Part Number will provide all the necessary details for a successful screen replacement. It can be found inside the part and, therefore, it will be necessary to remove the screen to identify the numbers.
To identify the Part Number of your notebook, just follow some very simple steps. First, you must remove your screen from the “housing” of the device. Depending on your notebook model, you can do this by unscrewing the screen or simply detaching the component. If you have any doubts when performing this procedure, you can seek reliable technical assistance.
After removing the screen , look for a set of numbers and letters available on a label, which must be pasted on the inside of the screen. This set is the Part Number, and can be located at the top or bottom of the component, depending on the notebook model in question. Obtaining this information, you will be able to purchase your new screen in stores specialized in this type of product.
BY TYPES OF LIGHTING
As for the structure of the screen and the lighting emitted by it, there are some main types that are most used by manufacturers when producing the component. The 3 structures that can be present in basically all existing notebooks are the LCD, the LED and the CCFL. But do you know the difference between these screens?
LCD models are characterized by projecting the image through the transparency of the primary colors, without emitting a noticeable glare. Over the years and the development of technology, a huge amount of notebooks were manufactured following the LCD standard. Therefore, it is the main screen structure among users. Because it transmits a slightly more opaque image compared to other formats, LCD lighting tends to work better in brighter environments, as, in this way, the lower brightness of the screen will not contrast with the lights in the place where the notebook is used.
The main feature of LED screens is lighting provided by small lamps, usually located at the top of the components. The great advantage that users have when having a screen with LED lighting is the considerable reduction in the consumption of electricity that the machine needs. In addition, these models are lighter and thinner, and have a longer lifespan compared to other types of screens. For these reasons, its presence in notebooks only grows in the market.
Finally, CCFL screens , less used today, are present in older notebooks, and have fluorescent lamps in their composition, responsible for the lighting present in this type of model. In CCFL screens we also have the presence of a specific cable, which ends up becoming responsible for feeding the component’s energy.
THROUGH THE CONNECTOR
Another way to identify your screen model is through the notebook’s connector. Currently, the main brands use different connectors for each screen, which indicates that not all screens will be compatible on all devices. The connectors are particularly important as they are responsible for the connection between the screen and the machine’s motherboard, thus enabling the transmission of data from your device to be represented in visual format.
The models most often have between 20, 30 and 40 pins, which are coupled to the notebook. However, variations may exist. Another differentiation concerns the place of insertion, which will also change from device to device. Some have the position of the connector located in the upper corner and other notebooks in the lower corner. The fitting side can also change: some will be on the left side, and others on the right side.
