Laptop Screen Cable Replacement
Common Signs for a Laptop Screen Cable Replacement
There are several signs that may indicate a need for a laptop screen cable replacement. Here are some of the common signs:
1. Flickering or Fading Display:
If your laptop screen flickers or fades intermittently, it could be a sign of a faulty screen cable.
2. Distorted Images or Lines:
If you notice distorted images on your laptop, colored lines, or patterns on your screen, it may indicate an issue with the screen cable.
3. No Display:
If your laptop powers on but the screen remains completely black, it could be due to a malfunctioning screen cable.
4. Intermittent Display:
Your laptop sscreen may turn on and off sporadically. This may indicate a loose or damaged screen cable.
5. External Monitor Test:
Connecting your laptop to an external monitor and it displays correctly, but the laptop screen itself doesn’t work properly, the screen cable could be damaged
Get your laptop check by Volta PC to confirm the fault
If you observe any of these signs, it’s advisable to have your laptop inspected by a qualified technician like Volta PC (our diagnostic is FREE for laptop that are no longer out of manufacturing’s warranty) to determine if a screen cable replacement is necessary.Based on our expertise, a damaged laptop screen cable is less common than a damaged laptop screen itself. You can also try the following steps to diagnose on your own provided if you have some level of skills in dismantling your laptop model. Remember to exercise caution when handling electronic components, and if you’re unsure about any aspect of the process, it’s always best to seek professional help to avoid causing further damage.
Note certain laptops are more challenging to disassemble, increasing the risk of damaging the screen during removal, particularly with thinner screen seen in recent years, especially OLED displays, which can be costly to replace. Additionally, some laptop models necessitate replacing the entire top half housing if the screen cable is faulty, as the cable is integrated between the screen and the casing. This is especially common in touchscreen models.
You will need some tools like screwdriver, LCD sticky tapes and some level of expertise in removing the LCD frame.
How to check your Laptop Screen Cable
Check Connections: Make sure the screen cable connecting to the screen and motherboard is securely attached at both ends. Sometimes, simply reseating the cable can resolve the issue.
Inspect for Physical Damage: Examine the cable for any signs of physical damage such as corrosion, fraying or breaks. If you notice any damage, it’s likely that your laptop screen cable needs to be replaced
Test with a Replacement Cable: If you have access to a compatible replacement cable, you can try replacing the existing cable to see if it resolves the issue.
Consult a Professional: If you’re not confidence performing these troubleshooting steps yourself, or if you’re unable to diagnose the issue, it will be best to seek professional technician for assistance like Volta PC(our diagnostic is FREE for laptop that are no longer out of manufacturing’s warranty).
- Turn off and unplug your laptop to avoid electrical damage.
- Remove the bezel around the screen by gently prying it off using a plastic tool.
- Unscrew the screen from its mount, typically located at the top of the screen.
- Disconnect the screen cable from the back of the screen.
- Remove the old cable carefully by unclipping it from its holding points.
- Install the new cable, ensuring it’s properly aligned and connected.
- Reassemble the screen, tighten screws, and secure the bezel.
Ensure the new cable is compatible with your laptop model. If unsure, it’s best to consult a professional technician.

Sent in my old laptop for 7 years with corrupted bios. Repaired in 2 days with a replacement battery. Reasonable price, much better service than sending to laptop’s brand service centre.

Had a problem with my laptop and needed to replace my battery. The process and repair was fast and smooth, no complications, straightforward and honest technician. Price is very fair and cheaper than those official Lenovo repair shops but still original and good quality parts. Definitely recommend and will come again for future assistance 😀

Ming was really cool. My PC had a problem with the video out and Ming troubleshooted it on the spot. Told me what the problem was and didn’t charge me anything because it was a simple fix.

I recently upgraded my laptop from an HDD to an SSD, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. The upgrade was handled professionally, completed within a reasonable timeframe, and the overall service was exceptional. I highly recommend it!

Had a great experience with Volta PC Repair. They were honest about what needed fixing, didn’t try to upsell anything, and the price was very fair. Customer service was excellent, very friendly, patient, and made everything easy to understand. It’s refreshing to find a place you can actually trust. Highly recommended!

5 minutes walk from Tai Seng MRT. Long story short I replaced my old laptop wifi card but messed up the installation as I forced the antennae pin onto the card itself and found this laptop repair shop to replace my laptop wifi card.
Walked in at around 5.30pm, expected it’ll take 2 days repair as I came on Tuesday and they close every Wednesday but service was fast and it was done in an hour.
Great service (didn’t get his name) and my laptop can connect to wifi and bluetooth! Superb!

Had my desktop sent here as it stopped working during an intense gaming session.
Ken is very passionate about computer parts/ installation/ overall look for the desktop and willing to share his expertise. He is very patient at explaining the issues and what other potential troubles to look out for after the fix.
Got together some parts (power supply, GPU and fan cooler) myself and Ken installed them within a day at a cost of $95.
He also looked through the temperature of the CPU and GPU, cleaned up the interior, and updated my motherboard, graphics card and Windows software.
A huge thanks for helping and teaching me!

2nd time returning to repair my laptop, 1st time was in 2021 for a software issue, and this time for a hinge repair, at both times, the staff at the store was always knowledgeable and professional, giving us a peace of mind knowing that my laptop will be in good hands.
free diagnosis followed by options of repair for you to select, price is reasonable as well, 10/10 would recommend.

I cracked my laptop screen on Friday and went to contact Volta PC to ask for their price and whether it can be fixed. The next day l went to their shop and luckily the screen can be replaced and it is done within a few hours. I collected back my laptop on that day itself too. Thank you for the excellent service 😄

The JE outlet has a Tech named Ken. Very knowledgeable and helpful as well. His customer service skills is on par with those in retail. The company itself is very professional and their cost does not burn a hole in your pocket. They are your friendly neighbourhood PC repair shop. Kudos!

Went to fix my Lenovo Laptop, diagnosed with a SSD issue. Great, got fixed.
Not even one month later, entire laptop fails to boot.
Take it to a friend who knows about parts, he opens and the motherboard is fried. Thermal paste is all over the place, overheated the motherboards chips. Costed over $200 in repairs for this.
Image attached is how it looks from a friend who got a repasting here.
Do not recommend, overpriced and ruins your stuff.

Ken took the time to harmonize expectations on results of cleaning. Did not hard sell / up sell. Understood the problem and suggested specific and targeted solutions. Awesome experience!
Went back to Ken a few weeks later due to a recurring problem while gaming, Ken spent the time to patiently explain and engage on what the possibilities are and the solution that he deeply researched. After a few trials and error tuning parameters, it works great!!!
