A cracked screen can make your laptop completely unusable. It could be a sign of damage inside the machine, too. We'll repair your laptop if the screen gets cracked, or replace it if we can't.

Laptop facts
Despite their name, laptops shouldn’t really sit on your lap when they’re in use. They generate heat that needs to find its way out, usually through vents in their undersides. If they can’t ventilate properly, laptops can overheat and stop working. This is why you often see stands designed for laptops with fans that cool the machines down. If you don’t have a cooling fan for your laptop, use it on a solid flat surface.
Laptops as we recognise them today have been around for about 40 years. The first of these was the GRID Compass, launched in 1982, unfortunately it wasn’t much loved so didn’t catch on. Faring better was the Japanese Kyocera Kyotronic 85, which came out in 1983. However, it was still another three years until laptops became IBM compatible in 1986.
In the years since, laptops have become indispensable to people all over the world. TV catch up, video calling, news, gaming, banking, shopping are just some of the ways we rely on our laptops, so when they break down or go missing, we need them back. Fast.
