Expert guide on deciding between laptop screen repair and full device replacement. Cost analysis, factors to consider, and professional recommendations.
Laptop Screen Repair vs Replacement: Making the Right Decision
When your laptop screen breaks, you face a critical decision: repair the screen or replace the entire laptop? This guide helps you make an informed choice based on cost, value, and practicality.
Understanding the Decision Framework
Rule of 40% If repair costs exceed 40% of the laptop's current market value, replacement often makes more sense.
Age Consideration Laptops over 5 years old may not justify significant repair investments due to declining performance and support.
Cost Comparison Analysis
| Laptop Age | Screen Repair Cost | Replacement Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2 years | RM 400-800 | Repair recommended |
| 3-4 years | RM 400-800 | Evaluate total value |
| 5+ years | RM 400-800 | Consider replacement |
When to Repair
