Laptop Screen or Battery Going Bad? Signs to Watch For

Laptop screens and batteries don't quit all at once. They give warnings first.

Screen warning signs

• Lines across the screen.

• Flicker when you move the lid. Many times it is the cable, not the screen.

• Black spots or ink after a drop.

• Very dim screen. It can be the screen, the cable or the board.

We test it before we order a part. So you only pay for what you need.

Battery warning signs

• It dies at 30 or 40 percent.

• It only works when it is plugged in.

• The case is not flat or the trackpad feels hard. That can be a swollen battery. Stop using it.
