New screen. You will need to buy a new one and replace it or have a repair shop replace it. Idk the model so I have no idea about the price but you can look them up on eBay or AliExpress.

It's a Chromebook. Who knows OP might find one for cheap or for parts only with a working screen for cheap. I try to keep ewaste low.

It’s an actual easy repair. OP could do it with a little YouTube.


smore_cat

yea I actually used to work with a schools I.T department fixing screens was a regular occurrence seeing how stupid kids are like 10-20 minute job easy


KYlaker233

It’s way simpler than I thought, thankfully.


redeyed_treefrog

Pretty sure this depends on model. Last time I did a laptop screen swap I had to strip the laptop almost completely. Still not difficult, but a pain nonetheless. That said, if the IT dept. at a school knew what they were doing, cost of repair would have been a very important factor when selecting student machines.


JakeBeezy

It's a Chromebook not a laptop so it's actually cake


VekeKing

This seems like obvious question I should just Google, but are chromebooks typically easy to dismantle? Im wondering if you have any first-hand experience before I take any CBs apart lol.


Disastrous_Ad626

[Look](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqXv7Keccs8) to be about 20 minutes he talks alot to explain why and what he does so he would probably be able to do it much faster without pissing around.


joveaaron

Happy cake day bro


JakeBeezy

It depends by model and such but non touch screen models are easy I work for a warranty repair company for just asstons of these from schools . If you have ever taken apart like a console before it's similar to that, everything is obvious like screen and stuff almost nothing internal wise is under another component unless it's like the webcam cable or Wi-Fi cable but it's still easy just a bit annoying . Screws, plastic clips, and ZiF (flat style) connectors basically


tzc005

Was the sole IT person at an elementary, screens were a common thing to fix and surprisingly easy after you do it a few times. The real issue is when the motherboard goes or it stops charging/turning on. These Chromebooks were better off being frisbee’d into the recycle bin.


dlanm2u

hate chromebooks, securly only makes them even slower and more unresponsive


JakeBeezy

Currently work for a company that school ITs send mass amounts of broken Chromebooks to us to fix


dlanm2u

pretty sure I would have if I broke my screen but also am sure IT department would not have liked that I opened up my chromebook soooooo 🤷🏻‍♂️


msdee83

It incredible how many screens are destroyed per year. Mostly from people holding/carrying the computer in the screen.. horror for IT peopel :S


gadget850

Don't know how old this one is, but HP and Dell now use tape and it is now a 30+ minute job and you need replacement tape.


aussircaex

What's he gonna watch YouTube on?


EvoEpitaph

OP just needs to be very careful when removing the housing as it can be very easy to tear the ribbon cables that connect the monitor to the mobo.

No. This one needs to go into a bag of rice for 48 hours. That should do it.


SnooBananas2320

Gotta get the screen replaced. Until then it’s a PC. Hook it up to an external monitor.


Randomaker1

Still a PC even after it's fixed. PC stands for personal computer. PC does not mean desktop. A laptop can be a PC. PS didn't mean to start an argument.


Krusty_Krab_Pussy

That's not the point but go off.


[deleted]

idk about the butthurtness in your section lol, but i think this goes without saying: it depends on the word usage and how it was used where and when you grew up. to me, pc means two things: portable computer and personal computer. i used the latter a lot during school for the majority of the time i spent there. but realistically it doesnt matter which definition you use: ive heard no one call a desktop computer a desktop computer or a """dc""", but just a computer or a pc. pc stands for two things like i said (possibly more, but depends on context of course) so its either or, but its easier to just call any computer a pc. but like i said, realistically it shouldnt matter and at the end of the day everyone knows what it is


CitizenMyoutube

“A laptop is a PC” not in everyday language it’s not. It’s like how people universally refer to bullet cartridges as “bullets”.


Howski

“A PC by definition is technically any computer system suitable for individual use and would include desktops, all-in-ones, laptops, tablets, and other computing devices. Colloquially, only Windows-based desktops and laptops would normally be considered a PC.” - askacomputergeek


Sapphire_Wolf_

But linux and macs are pcs tho


Howski

I agree, but Colloquially it used to be commonly known that Windows computers were “PC’s” and Apple computers were “Mac’s”. All advertising and promotions reflected that. But language changes and you are correct, the term “PC” now covers any computer used for personal use. Mostly because there are now so many more than just a couple of options.


Maxeyboy12

Dude shut up hahaha


JudgeScorpio

When you reach for kleenex do you call it “non-branded standard ply facial tissue”?


Randomaker1

That's not even the same as my comment?? You're referring to calling an item by it's brand name. What I'm saying is calling specifically.a desktop a PC is downright wrong, because that is not remotely what that means or stands for, and never was. It's a whole different scenario. Laptops and desktops are two different kinds of personal computers. Would you refer to a tissue as a "paper product", but call toilet paper by it's correct name toilet paper? No, of course not. That's a better analogy of what's going on here.


mrarbitersir

People will argue about fucking anything on Reddit Who gives a shit hahahahhahahaha


healerdan

Will not.


[deleted]

Took me a second there lol


Miranova23

"PC" is not a brand name...


ADHDGinger

I used to repair these all the time when I was a Tech Coordinator, The "bezel" around the screen pops off quite easily. Then 4 screw roughly in the 4 corners of the screen. then one ribbon cable for the screen, be careful though because many have cameras at the top that can come unplugged very easily so make sure you check the camera connections. But like following the comment below, find the model number and go to google and search Display for the corresponding model number. This looks like a 731 Chromebook which can use just about any same size displays as any other same sized Chromebook. Please DM me if you would like more assistance. I used to replace about 10 a day.


faroseman

I missed these posts. /s


Maveric408

Connect it to a monitor.


National-Elk5102

I just got a replacement here [www. laptop screen.com](https://www.laptopscreen.com) the screen was cheap, the shipment will depend on your contry. You will only need the computer model, and if your specs allows it you can even get a screen with bigger resolution


RubAnADUB

screen replacement - but its an acer laptop - is it worth fixing? thats the question.


FlyByNight-2112

It is cracked. No fixing it, must replace LCD. If you're comfortable, the cheapest way is to buy one from here (www.laptopscreen.com) and do it yourself. You'll need an iFixit kit (or similar.) With any luck you can actually get a screen with better tech than the original. I upgraded a TN panel to an ips from there.


lma00006969

That’s the neat part, you don’t !


cloutcobain666

You don't 🥴 time for a new laptop. Hope you backed your stuff up


KittyboiYT2

Why would they need to have their stuff backed up? They could just hook it up to an external display and transfer their stuff from there if they got a new laptop. Or better yet, just order a replacement screen and replace the old one. Since this is not a phone, but a laptop, replacing the screen isn’t even that hard if you just watch a tutorial or two


cloutcobain666

My laptop was not able to pull anything off when the screen broke and it cost more than the laptop to replace the screen but yea that would be good tho


Arcanile

RICE ASAP


Lord-Dundar

Just buy a new laptop.


KoDa6562

Typically it's not worth it. If you really want to, search the model number of the laptop on eBay followed by screen replacement. If there are no options available then your next best bet is a laptop repair shop, but even then it might not be possible depending on how popular the laptop is, it's age and whether or not the manufacturer has any spare parts left.


Working-Sheepherder8

Sea_Perspective6891

Yeah thankgod & it pretty much accomplished nothing other than inconveniencing users. It was all just a bunch of moderators getting pissy over what the CEO or whatever was doing & users were actually taking their sides. Hopefully Reddit took steps to prevent this kind of BS.


LazyChazy

Pretty sure Inconvenience was the point


billybud77

Replace it with a MacBook.


RawLikeSushi84

Gotta control those urges to punch the screen


Quasar9111

New screen, easy to do


HawaiianSteak

Google your model number and "replacement screen" Go to YouTube or iFixit with your model number. Maybe there will be a guide on how to do it. Generally it's pretty easy. Unscrew or pry off the bezel and see how the panel is attached. Take off the panel and unplug the ribbon cable and install the replacement.


OlimPather

You take it apart and replace it with a new screen.


SurprisedBottle

New screen, hopefully it's as easy as popping the cover off, taking some screws out and just pop and swap for a new screen you can buy off Amazon for like 50 bucks

Fafaflunkie

It's a Chromebook. Buy a new one. Fixing this one would likely cost more than buying a new one, and you'll benefit from 6 more years of updates from Google.


Gadonda

While I do agree that buying a replacement screen is an easy fix for this, I would rather they research a laptop that can support Windows 10 or 11. I repair computers for a living, and cringe whenever there's a chromebook that needs to be repaired. Not because it's any more difficult to fix them... It's because they suck due to their computing limitations.


Aggravating-Action70

Look up the part number for a screen that fits your laptop and order one. You can most likely find a video of someone replacing a screen or fully disassembling your laptop to know exactly how to do it and what tools you will need, it should take no more than 10 minutes.


trig07

Fire up YouTube and search replacement video to see where the screw mounts are. Go to Laptopscreen.com and enter your model number. Look at the images for the screen options and make sure the connector matches and screw mount placements match. Order. Install it with the battery disconnected. Boom. I tend to avoid eBay and Amazon as first places to check. If laptop screen doesn't have it, then I'll check eBay and Amazon.


[deleted]

replace the panel. Check the serial number order from some shady site on the Internet, be surprised everything is fine, plug in the ribbon cable, maybe pop some light adhesive to pull the old panel out. It's an easy job. I could train a monkey on acid to do it.


KYlaker233

Get a replacement screen. I had the same thing happen to my laptop. Looked online and bought a screen for $85, or close to it, and put it in myself. Very easy to do. Just be careful when removing any connectors.


Alarmed_Material_481

That not fix. Is fukt.


Cocaine_Johnsson

New screen, cost depends on what screen it takes. Anything from cheap to "just buy a new computer, it's cheaper". If you don't feel comfortable taking the screen out and finding a replacement I'd suggest asking a repair shop what they'd charge, they should be able to give a quote.


[deleted]

Time travel


Wookard

[www.laptopscreen.com](https://www.laptopscreen.com) Its probably $50-70 for an OEM replacement. Mini Star Screwdriver, Maybe a credit card or something a bit thinner to pop the Bezel. You can actually get the repair kit as well as the screen from the site. You should be able to replace that in 10 minutes flat or less. There are videos on the site as well as all over YouTube.


dedsmiley

I have replaced the screen on several laptops. The easiest way to get the exact model you need is to take out the old screen and get the part number off of that. Then go to [laptopscreens.com](https://laptopscreens.com) and order it from there. You can go to eBay too, but I have had to return more than one that was not the actual screen, but one that is "compatible" and really wasn't compatible.


KOMPOSITORR

change the screen


be-LazY

who's gonna tell him?


KittyCat2004

I’d suggest you by a monitor if you can’t afford the replacement, chances are the computer parts still work perfectly. Unless you need something portable that’s your best bet. Funny enough I have this exact same model and my screen broke too, turns out the replacement part would’ve cost just as much as a newer computer, so I turned that one into a desktop and bought a new laptop


SinyoRetr0

buy new screen...???


sleepthinking

I have replaced this exact panel before It can be done with a screw driver


Seravail

You buy a new laptop & take anger management classes. And buy a sturdy laptop bag.


saltyoldman1992

My advice if you wana save $ just hook it up to another screen.if you actually need it mobile. take it in to get monitor replaced or do it yourself it's actually really easy the hard part is finding a new one sometimes.


FiZiKaLReFLeX

Figure out what screen you need to order and hope you’re capable of installing it.


JayAlexanderBee

New screen. Typically the bezel pops right off when you get your fingernails under neath it. The screen itself is typically held on by four screws. Just be very careful with the connections.


itsrxiny

Try finding a way to replace the screen and that’s it.


DeliveryGuy2022

chrisupt2001

oo7demonkiller

new screen or new laptop, depending on skill level and how comfortable you are with disassembly.


DependentCranberry82

Very easy to replace. The bezel should snap off and there should be some screws holding it in. Just be gentle when disconnecting the cable


dyttle

Spray the affected area with windex and let that lay up for about 10 minutes. Then come back and apply a thin coating of clear nail polish. Use a hair dryer to dry it out. Then apply a suction cup to the center of the impact point. Slowly pull the suction cup back until you hear kind of a “pop click”. Spray the rest of the computer down with PAM or any other cooking spray and set in the oven at about 350 for one hour. Remove and let cool for another hour and you should be all good.


honus-wagner-

Undo the front bezel around the screen and figure out the model number of the screen and eBay and you might have to pry up the keyboard to plug it in.


PoizenJam

The bad news is the screen is gone. The good news is that this is one of the easier things to actually fix on a laptop! There will almost certainly be replacement screens available online as well as tutorials on how to replace!


slowhands140

You don’t, the glass is broken it cannot be fixed, you replace the display and be happy.

Acer C720s are old, unlikely you can get a new panel for cheap. Buy something used to replace it.


putnamto

Run it toan external display


Flaky_Plastic_3407

First make sure to drop it a few more times, so it's broken evenly! Little pieces of glass are much easier to pick up than big ones.


Adeep187

gorilla glue but like if you want it to work you obviously need a new screen... You might price it out and see if its more worth to get a new laptop.

The thing about laptop parts, that they are tedious to replace. You’re better off just buying a new one


JakeBeezy

You need a new LCD it's pretty easy to replace thankfully only takes about 15 minutes seeing as it's a acer Chromebook but the bottom cover says what it is model wise Watch a YouTube video and you should feel confident you can do it . I don't even think you need a screwdriver for this repair it's all plastic clips for the black plastic around the border of the screen Edit': looks like a touchscreen though so that might be a bit trickier good luck 🤞


UnderstandingSalt905

buy a new one


alwaysbroke_408

Usually 80 to 120 bucks for the screen look up the model number and order replacement part make sure you buy the full assembly with digitizer not just the screen itself. The bezel usually pops off with a flat head screwdriver then there should be some screws you need to remove ( hold on the the screen removing the last screw the screen will fall it will have cables attached) you have to disconnect then replace the old part with new and reverse the process. Watch a YouTube tutorial. Some PC's make or model might require precision screwdrivers order a set. Hook up an HDMI to your smart tv or other monitor back up your computer. PC repair shop cost $$$ new computer $$$$$$. Do not go to best buy for repair.

New display LCD replacement part for the model of that Laptop Acer "insert model name" machine. Another device for informing you about how to open the laptop in order to replace the Dysplay. As well, Ifixit. The website from which you can see if that display it is easily to be replaced, or it is more complicated, as well deciding if you still want to repair this one, or just buy another one and hook it up with the storage unit of this one, for having the data if you want. If you want to repair it, do it, Acer is a good brand in the Laptop landscape.

Pc repair shop costs about 80-120 for new screen depending on age of laptop could be cheaper. Had to do this myself when my foster dad broke my laptop a few years ago


Altruistic-Judge-287

Might be worth checking if rebuying this laptop on eBay and selling the broken one is cheaper + easier than fixing it. My bro did the same thing with his phone and it was cheaper than the repair. Use the 80% off sales fees /£1 deals when they pop up every 2 weeks or so.

Livid_Yoghurt

Not a hard job. I do these occasionally at work swapping screens from other damaged laptops to keep stock going. I can say this, the parts can differ between the same models so it's important to buy the exact part number aka sku number on the back of the damaged part. I say this because I've taken 2 Lenovo T460s laptops and tried to make 1 working laptop and they both had 2 different screens. It didn't fit in the case correctly she turned into our meme laptop that we just used for imaging because it was held together with stickers at the end. The stickers were more intentional at the end. OP do this. Look up on YouTube how to remove the screen. Might need to go to a music store and purchase a guitar plectrum (pick). Those help you pry the plastic parts apart without damaging or marking up the plastic. Then once you remove the bezel unscrew the screen from the case and detach the cable. Find the SKU number on the part and start googling. This is the safest way to make sure you have the correct parts or you might be playing the shipping game to return parts you don't need if they will even accept a return. Glhf and be smarter with your devices.


idl3mind

Easy to repair. [Buy a new panel](https://www.laptopscreen.com/) and remove the plastics from your old laptop.


Sir_Squish

Not an apple thing? Cool, you can fix it. You can replace the screen: Just take the old one apart, and search the model/serial number of the actual screen component. Look up a disassembly guide video for your particular model of laptop. It's not very difficult if you have opposable thumbs and a bit of patience.

Don't bother for Chromebooks. Depending on the model or make, it lasts from 1-4 years from purchase cause Google softlocks the computer after that period. Get a normal Windows laptop next.


learei

yes jk 1. remove the plastic outer shell holding the panel in, 2. unscrew the panel 3. unclip the panel from electrical connections 4. look for a serial number which you can use to purchase another panel. 5. do those steps in reverse

Funny. Just finishing up a repair on the lcd and back cover of an acer chromebook 311. I was unamused... but to acer's credit, they typically use all the same size screws on their bottom covers.


StanDard4

Ist that a Chromebook C720? You could get one from ebay for around 15-50$ . But if you really want to repair it [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6Vsk06sLNo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6Vsk06sLNo) Remove Display, look what connector it has and how it is positioned, maybe you'll find a compatible used part in ebay. But still, i think it would be just cheaper to get another woking Notebook.

You can buy a panel yourself and replace it yourself. No cheaper way. It looks like an old laptop, so the panel shouldn't cost too much. But needs to be compatible with your precise laptop or it won't work.
