Is your ASUS laptop or desktop displaying a cracked screen, dead pixels, flickering images, or no display at all? JTG Systems, conveniently located at 577 Niagara Street in Welland, Ontario, specializes in professional ASUS LCD screen repair services for Fonthill residents and the entire Niagara Region. With over 20 years of experience, certified technicians, and high-quality replacement parts, we're your trusted solution for all ASUS screen problems.
Modern ASUS laptops and all-in-one desktop computers use sophisticated LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or LED (Light-Emitting Diode) display technology. These screens consist of multiple layers including the backlight (LED or CCFL), LCD panel with liquid crystal matrix, color filters for red, green, and blue pixels, polarizing filters, and protective glass or plastic outer layer. Understanding this complex structure helps explain why screen problems occur and what repair options are available.
ASUS manufactures various display types across their product lines: Standard LCD screens (older models), LED-backlit LCD screens (most common in current laptops), IPS (In-Plane Switching) panels for better color accuracy and viewing angles, OLED screens in premium models like ZenBook and VivoBook Pro, and touchscreen displays with digitizer layers. Each type requires specialized knowledge and parts for proper repair.
Our Fonthill-area customers bring ASUS computers with a wide range of screen issues. Here are the most frequent problems we successfully repair:
Physical damage from drops, impacts, or closing the lid with objects on the keyboard is the most common screen problem. Even minor cracks can spread over time and may allow moisture entry that causes additional damage. Cracked screens require complete LCD panel replacement - repairs cannot fix broken glass or LCD cells. The good news is that we stock replacement screens for popular ASUS models and can often complete repairs within 24-48 hours. The digitizer and touch functionality can also be damaged in touchscreen models, requiring specialized replacement parts.
Individual pixels that remain permanently black (dead) or show incorrect colors (stuck) are frustrating display defects. A few dead pixels may be acceptable under manufacturer standards, but many dead pixels or pixel clusters significantly impact usability. Stuck pixels sometimes can be fixed using pixel-fixing software that rapidly cycles colors, but dead pixels require screen replacement. We evaluate whether the extent of pixel problems warrants replacement or if your screen remains functional enough for continued use.
If your ASUS screen appears extremely dim or completely black but you can faintly see images when shining a flashlight at the screen, this indicates backlight failure. The LCD panel itself is functioning, but the LED or CCFL backlight has failed. In some cases, we can replace just the backlight assembly rather than the entire LCD panel, saving you money. However, many modern ASUS laptops integrate the backlight into the LCD panel, requiring full panel replacement. We diagnose the exact configuration and provide the most cost-effective solution.
Screen flickering, intermittent display loss, or unstable images can result from several causes: loose or damaged LCD cable connection, failing LCD panel, graphics driver issues, graphics card problems, or inverter failure (in older CCFL-backlit screens). Our diagnostic process identifies the root cause. Often, flickering results from a damaged or loose video cable rather than the screen itself, which is a simpler and less expensive repair.
Vertical or horizontal lines, discolored areas, pink or purple tints, or other color abnormalities usually indicate LCD panel damage or failure. These problems typically worsen over time and require screen replacement. In rare cases, cable or graphics card issues can cause similar symptoms, so proper diagnosis is essential before proceeding with potentially unnecessary screen replacement.
A completely black screen with no visible backlight can have multiple causes ranging from simple to complex: Power supply failure, failed LCD panel, disconnected or damaged video cable, graphics card failure, motherboard issues, or BIOS/firmware problems. We systematically test each possibility to identify the true cause. Not all black screen problems require screen replacement - external display testing helps determine if the LCD itself or other components are at fault.
When you bring your ASUS computer to JTG Systems for LCD screen repair, we follow a thorough, professional process:
Step 1: Initial Assessment and Consultation - We discuss what happened to your ASUS computer, examine the visible screen damage or symptoms, verify your ASUS model number and specifications, and explain the likely repair options and approximate costs.
Step 2: Detailed Diagnosis - We connect your ASUS to an external monitor to verify the graphics system is functioning, inspect internal cable connections, test the LCD panel with specialized equipment, check for additional hardware problems, and document all findings.
Step 3: Parts Sourcing - We identify the exact replacement screen required based on your ASUS model, screen size, resolution, and panel type (standard LCD, IPS, OLED, touchscreen). We source high-quality compatible or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) screens from reliable suppliers. For common ASUS models like VivoBook, ZenBook, and ROG series, we often have screens in stock. For less common models, we order expedited parts delivery.
Step 4: Professional Installation - Our certified technicians carefully disassemble your ASUS laptop or all-in-one desktop, disconnect the old screen following proper anti-static procedures, install the new LCD panel or screen assembly, reconnect all cables securely, and reassemble your device ensuring all clips and screws are properly secured.
Step 5: Quality Testing - Before returning your ASUS computer, we thoroughly test the new screen: verify full functionality across the entire display area, check for dead pixels or defects, test brightness and color accuracy, verify touchscreen functionality if applicable, test the webcam if integrated into the screen assembly, and perform stress testing by running the system for extended periods.
Step 6: Cleaning and Final Inspection - We clean your screen and entire device, perform final cosmetic inspection, document the repair, and provide you with warranty information for our workmanship and the replacement screen.
We repair LCD screens for all ASUS product lines including:
ASUS VivoBook Series - Popular consumer laptops in various sizes from 11.6" to 17.3" with standard and touchscreen options.
ASUS ZenBook Series - Premium ultrabooks featuring high-resolution displays, often with IPS panels or OLED technology.
ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) - Gaming laptops with high refresh rate displays (120Hz, 144Hz, or higher), high resolution, and advanced panel technology.
ASUS TUF Gaming Series - Durable gaming laptops with performance-oriented displays.
ASUS Chromebook - Chrome OS laptops with various screen sizes and configurations.
ASUS All-in-One Desktops - Desktop computers with integrated displays requiring specialized screen repair approaches.
ASUS ProArt Series - Professional workstation laptops with color-accurate displays for creative professionals.
Regardless of your ASUS model, we have the expertise and resources to source the correct replacement screen and complete professional installation.
ASUS computers come with various screen specifications that affect repair considerations:
Resolution Options: HD (1366x768), Full HD (1920x1080), QHD (2560x1440), 4K UHD (3840x2160), and specialty resolutions for specific models. Replacement screens must match your original resolution.
Panel Technologies: TN (Twisted Nematic) panels are less expensive with faster response times but limited viewing angles. IPS (In-Plane Switching) panels offer superior color accuracy and wide viewing angles. OLED (Organic LED) panels in premium models provide exceptional contrast and color but cost more to replace.
Refresh Rates: Standard 60Hz for general use, 120Hz, 144Hz, or 240Hz for gaming models requiring specialized high-refresh panels.
Touch Functionality: Touchscreen ASUS models require replacement screens with integrated digitizers, increasing complexity and cost.
Screen Finishes: Glossy screens provide vibrant colors but show reflections. Matte (anti-glare) screens reduce reflections but may slightly reduce color vibrancy. We match your original screen finish.

Several factors influence the cost of ASUS LCD screen repair:
Screen Size: Larger screens (17.3") cost more than smaller screens (11.6"-13.3"). Common 15.6" screens offer the best value.
Resolution: HD screens are less expensive than Full HD, which cost less than 4K panels. Higher resolution means higher replacement cost.
Panel Technology: Standard LCD panels are most affordable. IPS panels cost moderately more. OLED screens in premium ASUS models are significantly more expensive to replace.
Touchscreen: Touchscreen digitizers add significant cost compared to non-touch displays.
Refresh Rate: High-refresh gaming displays (144Hz, 240Hz) cost more than standard 60Hz panels.
Model Availability: Common ASUS models have readily available, competitively priced screens. Rare or discontinued models may have limited parts availability and higher costs.
At JTG Systems, ASUS LCD screen repair typically ranges from $150 to $400 depending on these factors. We provide exact quotes after identifying your specific model and screen specifications. Call (905) 892-4555 for a preliminary estimate based on your ASUS model number.
Some tech-savvy individuals consider replacing ASUS screens themselves. While possible, professional repair offers significant advantages:
Risks of DIY Repair: ASUS laptops require careful disassembly - plastic clips break easily. Static electricity can damage sensitive LCD panels and other components. Incorrect screen installation may cause image problems or damage. Warranty concerns if DIY repair causes additional damage. Time investment and frustration if problems arise. Risk of ordering incorrect replacement screens.
Benefits of Professional Repair: Guaranteed correct screen identification and ordering. Proper anti-static handling and installation procedures. Warranty on both parts and labor. Quick turnaround by experienced technicians. Quality testing before return to customer. Peace of mind that repair is done correctly.
For most ASUS owners, professional repair provides better value despite slightly higher upfront cost compared to DIY parts-only pricing.
After investing in screen repair, protect your ASUS display with these tips:
Use a Protective Case or Sleeve: Quality laptop bags or sleeves cushion your ASUS during transport, preventing impact damage.
Never Place Objects on Keyboard: Pens, phones, or other objects left on the keyboard can crack the screen when you close the lid. Always check before closing.
Close Lid Gently: Avoid slamming the laptop lid, which stresses the screen and hinges.
Clean Screen Properly: Use microfiber cloths and screen-safe cleaning solutions. Never spray liquid directly on the screen. Avoid paper towels or rough materials that can scratch.
Maintain Proper Hinge Function: Damaged or stiff hinges put stress on the screen. Have hinges repaired if they feel tight or loose.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Don't leave your ASUS in hot cars or freezing conditions. Extreme temperatures can damage LCD panels.
Control Lid Opening: Always open your ASUS laptop from the center of the lid, not from one corner, which can twist the screen assembly.
Consider Screen Protectors: Thin protective films can prevent scratches and minor impacts, especially for touchscreen models.
If your ASUS computer is still under manufacturer warranty, screen coverage depends on the damage cause:
Manufacturing Defects: Dead pixels (if exceeding ASUS standards), backlight failure, or other defects not caused by physical damage are typically covered under ASUS standard warranty (usually 1-2 years).
Accidental Damage: Cracked screens, liquid damage, or impact damage are NOT covered under standard ASUS warranty. You need ASUS Accidental Damage Protection (if purchased) for coverage.
Manufacturer Repair Considerations: ASUS depot repair often takes 2-3 weeks or longer. You'll be without your computer during this time. Shipping risks potential additional damage. Depot repairs may not preserve your data.
Many ASUS owners choose JTG Systems even with active warranties for faster turnaround, local service, and personal attention. We can help you understand your warranty status and make the best decision for your situation.

ASUS LCD screen repair costs vary based on your specific model and screen specifications. At JTG Systems, most ASUS screen repairs range from $150 to $400. Factors affecting cost include screen size (11.6" to 17.3"), resolution (HD, Full HD, 4K), panel type (standard, IPS, OLED), touchscreen vs. non-touch, and refresh rate (standard 60Hz or high-refresh gaming displays). Common ASUS VivoBook and ZenBook models with standard 15.6" Full HD screens typically cost $200-$280 including parts and labor. Premium models with OLED or 4K displays cost more. Gaming laptops with high-refresh panels may also be at the higher end. Call JTG Systems at (905) 892-4555 with your ASUS model number for an accurate quote. We provide transparent, detailed estimates before beginning any work.
ASUS screen repair turnaround time depends on parts availability. For popular ASUS models like VivoBook, ZenBook, and ROG gaming laptops, we often stock replacement screens and can complete repairs within 24-48 hours. For less common models, we need to order the specific screen for your ASUS laptop, which typically takes 2-4 business days to arrive. Once parts are in stock, the actual repair process takes 2-4 hours. Total turnaround is usually 2-5 business days from drop-off to pickup. If you need rush service, call us to discuss expedited options. We understand how important your computer is and work to minimize downtime. We'll provide an accurate timeline estimate when you bring in your ASUS for diagnosis.
While technically possible for experienced individuals, we generally don't recommend DIY ASUS screen replacement for several reasons: ASUS laptops use many small clips and components that easily break during disassembly. LCD panels are extremely fragile and vulnerable to static electricity damage. Identifying the correct replacement screen requires knowing exact model specifications - ordering the wrong screen wastes money. Proper installation requires anti-static procedures and specialized tools. Screen alignment and cable connection must be perfect or you'll have image quality issues. Most ASUS screen repairs require complete bezel removal and careful handling. One mistake can turn a screen-only repair into a more expensive multi-component repair. JTG Systems offers professional ASUS screen replacement at competitive prices with warranties on parts and labor. The modest additional cost compared to DIY provides significant peace of mind and guaranteed results. Unless you have professional repair experience, we recommend trusting experts.
Unfortunately, physical damage like cracked or broken screens is NOT covered under standard ASUS manufacturer warranties. ASUS standard warranties (typically 1-2 years depending on the model) cover manufacturing defects and component failures, but explicitly exclude accidental damage. However, there are exceptions: If you purchased ASUS Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) when buying your laptop, cracked screens from drops or impacts may be covered. Some credit card companies provide purchase protection that may cover accidental damage within the first 90-120 days. Extended warranties from retailers like Best Buy may include accidental damage coverage. To check your coverage, locate your ASUS serial number and check your warranty status on the ASUS website, review any extended warranties or protection plans you purchased, or call ASUS support. Even if covered by warranty, ASUS depot repair typically takes 2-3 weeks. Many customers choose JTG Systems for faster local service at competitive prices even when warranty coverage exists. We're happy to help you understand your options.
Yes, ASUS touchscreen laptop repairs cost significantly more than non-touch screen replacements. Touchscreens consist of two layers: the LCD display panel and a touch digitizer layer that detects finger input. When a touchscreen cracks or breaks, you typically need to replace both components together as an assembly. This makes touchscreen replacements roughly 40-60% more expensive than equivalent non-touch screens. For example, a standard 15.6" Full HD ASUS screen replacement might cost $220, while the same size touchscreen replacement could cost $320-$350. The higher cost reflects the touchscreen digitizer component and more complex installation. Touch functionality adds convenience but also increases repair costs. At JTG Systems, we provide transparent pricing for both touch and non-touch ASUS screen repairs. We'll give you an exact quote based on your specific model. In some cases, if touch functionality isn't critical to you, we can discuss whether a non-touch replacement might be a cost-saving option, though this depends on your ASUS model's design.
No, screen replacement does not affect your data. Your files, programs, and settings are stored on your hard drive or SSD, which remains untouched during LCD screen replacement. The screen is simply an output device - replacing it doesn't involve your storage drive or data. After screen replacement, your ASUS laptop will start up exactly as before with all your files intact. However, we always recommend maintaining regular backups of important data as a general best practice. Computer repairs of any kind carry small risks of unexpected complications. While screen replacement itself is safe for your data, having backups provides peace of mind. If your ASUS has multiple problems beyond just the screen and requires more extensive repairs involving the motherboard or storage drive, data risks increase. We'll clearly communicate if any repair work poses potential data risks. For standard screen replacement, your data is completely safe.
At JTG Systems, we ensure replacement screens match or exceed your original ASUS display quality through careful sourcing and verification. Here's how: We identify your exact ASUS model number and screen specifications using manufacturer databases and the original panel's identifying labels. We source replacement screens from reputable suppliers who provide OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or high-quality compatible panels. We match all specifications including exact resolution, panel type (TN, IPS, OLED), brightness (measured in nits), color gamut, refresh rate for gaming models, and touch capability if applicable. Before completing the repair, we thoroughly test the new screen for dead pixels, color accuracy, brightness uniformity, and overall image quality. All replacement screens come with manufacturer warranties. If you're not satisfied with the display quality after installation, we'll address your concerns. In most cases, customers cannot tell the difference between the original screen and our professional replacement - except that the new screen has no cracks, dead pixels, or other defects! We take pride in using quality parts that provide years of reliable service.
A cracked or malfunctioning ASUS screen doesn't mean you need a new computer. Professional screen replacement from JTG Systems can restore your ASUS laptop or all-in-one desktop to like-new condition at a fraction of the cost of replacement. With over 20 years of experience, quality parts, fast turnaround, and competitive pricing, we're the trusted choice for Fonthill residents and computer owners throughout the Niagara Region.
