Even the most tidy people break screens in their tablets - they can be pushed through by children, friends who have taken to play for a minute … The cracked glass of the tablet can be replaced in any case, but such a replacement will not always be advisable.
What to do if your tablet screen is damaged
Tablet screens are most likely to shatter due to careless handling and the fact that they themselves are very thin and fragile. Not a single owner will be able to fully insure against breakage of the tablet screen. Tablets can be damaged by children, friends or acquaintances who first saw such a gadget, tablets can be damaged in a bag or briefcase, especially on public transport. It even happens that the screen may crack due to temperature changes, for example, when the device is brought from a cold street into a warm room.
The screen of any tablet consists of two parts - a glass touch screen (touchscreen) and a matrix. Most often it is the touch screen that breaks, and the matrix remains intact.
So, if the tablet screen has been damaged, in no case should you try to repair it yourself. Replacing glass on tablets is a very difficult job, and you can only aggravate the situation, which will affect the total amount of repairs. In addition, do not delay repairing the tablet, as there is a possibility of damaging the matrix as well.
In most tablets, the screen can be replaced without touching the matrix. The cost of touchscreens varies from two to five thousand rubles. For older Samsung and iPad models the price will be cheaper, and for newer Asus models it will be more expensive.
If the tablet screen is cracked due to a strong impact or the device has been used for a long time with broken glass, then, most likely, the matrix will also have to be changed. For many tablet models, the touchscreen comes with a matrix. The approximate cost of a touch screen with a matrix is 6-7 thousand rubles. And the cost of the matrix itself is 3-4 thousand.
If an inexpensive Chinese tablet has been broken, it will be easier to buy a new one than to repair the old one. It is difficult to find touch glass for these tablets, as they usually do not have any markings on them. Even if the desired touchscreen is determined, you will have to wait about 2-3 months until it is delivered. And the total cost of the repair will be more expensive than buying the same new tablet.
How not to crash your tablet screen again
In order not to break the tablet screen immediately after repair (or after purchase), you should take care of its protection. First of all, it is a careful handling. Try not to drop your tablet, leave it on sofas and chairs, give instruction to children, etc. And, secondly, you must definitely buy a cover and a protective film for the tablet screen. This will help keep the device in good condition, and in some cases even protect against possible damage to the touchscreen.
