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:
- Flickering or Fading Display: If your laptop screen flickers or fades intermittently, it could be a sign of a faulty screen cable.
- 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.
- No Display: If your laptop powers on but the screen remains completely black, it could be due to a malfunctioning screen cable.
- Intermittent Display: Your laptop sscreen may turn on and off sporadically. This may indicate a loose or damaged screen cable.
- 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.
Here’s how you can do a check on 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).

Had a Aftershock laptop which is 6 years old with screen issues, brought it to Aftershock but they were unable to do anything about it as they don’t carry this model anymore. Brought it to Volta and voila, they completed the screen replacement for me on the same day that I left my laptop over. Replacement was completed neatly and professionally with no damages to the laptop or any sort.Will definitely recommend to have your laptop check and/or fixed at Volta.Couldn’t express my gratitude enough, thanks again Volta!

Had PC freezing issue for my custom built PC for a long time, unable to do self diagnosis, decided to give it a try and send to Volta PC. They are very professional and able to correctly diagnose the CPU was faulty. They also carry some ready stocks for parts that are faulty to replace, if not, they can help you to order from supplier and give you a quote, so it’s one-stop shop for easy of mind. JC helped to explained my queries at collection and he was very knowledgeable, friendly and nice to chat with. Definitely will get their service again in the future 👍

Volta personnel was prompt and clear in answering queries via WhatsApp – even after office hours. The costs of the repairs were reasonable. I appreciate very much that they expedite my repairs to accommodate my time constraints.

Horrible service, Don’t fix at Volta! The touch bar does not properly light up even after they claimed to have fixed. And the touch pad is also not functioning properly. Do not go to this scamming Volta store to fix. Also this stupid ugly employee is extremely rude and kept interrupting when I was trying to explaining to that idiot. That stupid ugly employee looks like a mentally retarded nerd wearing spectacles and is skinny.

Professional, meticulous and steady in their response. Thank you for resurrecting my laptop where other vendors have claimed impossible. This at a transparent costing approach.

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!!!
