Cell Phone Screen Cracked? 2 Tips to Get the Screen Repaired

Posted on

If you have a cell phone with a cracked screen, you need to act now. This is because some cracks can result in your phone not working at all. When it comes to repairing the cracks, you have many options. Below are two tips so you can get your cell phone back to normal again.

Determine How Much Damage There Is

The cracks on your cell phone screen may be surface cracks or they may be deeper. In order to help you determine this, set your cell phone on a solid, flat surface, such as a table. Make sure the table that you are using has enough light so you can see the screen well. Carefully push on the screen with your finger very gently to see if the screen pushes in easily. Do not do this too hard because you can cause further cracking or the current cracks to become much worse.

If the screen feels solid and does not move at all, then the cracks are likely surface cracks. If you feel the screen give at all, however, the cracks are likely much deeper. If your cell phone is still working at this point, you need to back it up. If you do not, you could lose all the photos, videos, and other important information that you have saved on your phone. If you don't know how to back up your cell phone, refer to the owner's manual that came with your phone or contact the manufacturer. You can back up this information to another phone,  your computer or laptop, or another device. Once backed up you can transfer this information to a cell phone.

Take Phone to a Professional Screen Repair Shop

Whether your screen has surface cracks or is severely damaged, you need to have it repaired immediately. If you do not, the inner hardware could get damaged, which would result in you having to purchase a new phone. To fix the screen quickly, take your phone to a cell phone screen repair shop like Quick Fix Smartphone & Tablet Repair.  When they finish repairing the cell phone, you will have a brand new screen on your phone that will look exactly like the original screen.

The price you will pay will depend on the repair shop you choose. This price, however, will be much less expensive than the cost of a new cell phone.

Once you get your cell phone screen repaired, ask the shop if they sell screen protectors. This will help prevent the screen from cracking again if you accidentally drop your phone. If the repair shop does not sell this product, you can purchase screen protectors online that will fit your screen.
