Discovering that your tablet screen is cracked can really turn your day upside down. Whether you dropped your tablet, or your child uses it and got a little careless, you may be wondering what your options are.
Can your table screen be fixed? Will you need to purchase a new tablet?
Fortunately, most tablet screens can be repaired, and you do not have to invest in a new tablet. Below, we will discuss more about what to do when you find out your tablet screen is cracked.
Can My Tablet Screen Really Be Repaired?
Yes, your tablet screen can be repaired depending on the damage done.
While you may be hesitant to get a small crack in the corner repaired, cracks will not simply disappear, and they will need to be addressed at some point. The longer you allow a crack to persist, the more likely it is that it will cause long-term or serious damage to your tablet.
Types of Cracks on Tablet Screens
There are a number of different cracks that can occur on your tablet screen and depending on the extent of damage, you may or may not be able to have it repaired.
For example, a small or tiny crack in the upper or lower corner of the tablet screen is unlikely to cause issues and you will find that your tablet continues to function and work. You can usually get a screen protector and get some extended life out of your screen before you need to get it repaired.
Another type of crack is the side-to-side crack. These extend from one corner to the other. While you will likely be able to use your tablet immediately after getting one of these cracks, you will start to notice issues with your device rather quickly. You will need to have this type of crack repaired sooner rather than later.
The final type of crack we will go over is the web or spider-like crack. These cause major issues with your screen, and you may notice that when you use your tablet, it does not recognize your finger or where you touched the screen. In addition, the broken glass can cut your fingers or the glass itself may start to fall off. This type of crack must be fixed immediately.
