Lenovo laptop screen replacement
Lenovo laptops divide into three jobs here: IdeaPads whose hinge anchors crack, ThinkPads that are the easiest machines on the bench, and Yoga convertibles where the hinge carries a touch panel.

The panel
What a Lenovo screen job involves.
Getting the panel specification right is most of the job. Six things have to match before the part is ordered.
Matched before ordering
- Panel size and aspect ratio
- Resolution and panel type: HD, full-HD, IPS, OLED
- Refresh rate, where the machine shipped with a fast panel
- Connector type and pin count
- Touch digitizer, bonded or separate
- Bezel and hinge condition, since a broken mount cracks the new panel too
ThinkPads list an FRU number for the panel. IdeaPads and Yogas are matched on the model plus the panel's own part number.
How Lenovo panels fail
- IdeaPad hinge bosses break out of the lid plastic, and the panel cracks from the hinge corner inward.
- ThinkPad panels are documented down to the FRU number and come apart cleanly, so they are the quickest screen jobs here.
- Yoga 360 hinges take the whole weight of the lid and carry a bonded touch digitizer, which makes both the hinge and the panel more expensive.
A crack that runs in from a corner is usually a hinge pushing the lid. That gets repaired in the same job, or the new panel fails the same way.
Pricing
How a screen replacement is priced.
- 01
Diagnostic, $49
30 to 45 minutes. Confirms the panel and checks whether the display cable, board or hinge is also at fault. The fee comes off the bill when you go ahead.
- 02
The panel quote
The exact part is sourced and priced before anything is ordered. Panels vary widely by size, resolution, refresh rate and touch, so the quote names the part rather than a made-up range.
- 03
Fitting and testing
Installed, tested at full brightness, bezel and hinges checked, and covered by the 90-day workmanship warranty.
- Turnaround
- A swap is a bench job of one to two hours once the part is in. Most local machines go home the same day.
- Your data
- A screen job does not touch the drive. Nothing is reinstalled, reset or restored.
- Honest answer
- If the panel plus labor costs more than the machine is worth, you get that answer instead of a repair.

Computer guides
Screens, hinges and the faults around them.
What a laptop screen job actually involves, why hinges fail, and when a repair stops being worth the money.
Overheating & fan noise
Heat does not fail loudly. It slows everything down first, then quietly shortens the life of the battery, the drive and the solder joints holding the machine together.
Read the guideCracked laptop screen & hinges
On most laptops the hinge is anchored into plastic. When that anchor gives way, every time you open the lid you are bending the panel it is attached to.
Read the guideLaptop won't charge
A laptop that will not charge is one symptom with four very different causes, and the cost ranges from a cable to a board-level repair. The order you check them in is what saves money.
