Cracked Screen - Broken Display

| Service | Cracked Screen - Broken Display |
| Description | Cracked Screen vs. Broken Display – What's the Difference? Another cracked screen? In fact, most screen repairs fall into two common categories that are often confused: a broken LCD (commonly referred to as a "broken display") and a cracked outer screen, or "glass damage." There are two typical scenarios that lead to a cracked outer screen (glass damage): Minor Drop Impact: Even a light drop from a low height can cause cracks. When your phone hits the ground, the impact is transferred through the frame and concentrated on the edge of the screen. This seemingly small shock is often enough to cause hairline cracks around the edges. Point Pressure Damage: This occurs when pressure is applied to a single point—such as when your phone rests on a small stone or object. The intense pressure at that point can cause cracks to spread outward from the impact spot. A cracked outer screen usually doesn't affect the phone's touch function or display. You can still use the device normally. However, a broken display (LCD damage) is a more serious issue. If the cracks worsen, moisture can seep into the screen through the damaged areas, shortening the lifespan of the LCD. In some cases, the moisture can reach internal components, potentially damaging other essential parts of the phone. To prevent further complications, it’s recommended not to delay screen repairs for too long, even if the device still seems functional after the initial crack. |
