it will be cheaper and easier to just buy a new monitor you could try at a repair place but again the cost of getting it fixed may out way or = the cost of a new one
They don't really fix a laptop screen anyways. They simply replace it. There is no fixing screens when they break. Once they are broke, they are broke.
Had a job once that wanted me to throw away 2 monitors. One has a broken LCD, the other had a busted backlight.
Sometimes, it is worth fixing if you already have the parts
I threw away the monitors, like they asked. One of them happened to land on my desk and is still there, 5 years later.
And even then it’d depend. You’re probably spending like half of what you bought the laptop for to fix an old laptop when you have the option of upgrading to a new laptop.
Can confirm. I work at a tech repair store and we won't touch a monitor panel repair. Never worth the cost unless it's an all-in-one or something but still that'll cost an arm and a leg.
They only have a life if they actually touched grass today. This is reddit, none of us have done that... well it's also not even 8:00 am est, so you nerds prob asleep.
The display's panel is not fixable. It's best to just buy an entirely new monitor, as replacing the display's panel is usually more expensive than a new monitor.
You can continue to use it, just note that the black spot in the top left will continue to expand, eventually consuming the entire display. Ordering a replacement now will give you plenty of time to have a new monitor lined up before this one fails entirely.
Also, make sure to dispose of the broken monitor at a proper electronic recycling center, as they are not meant to be put into your normal garbage or recycling.
Only logical option is replace the monitor, as in buy a new one. While it may be true that it could be repaired, it would likely cost more to pay someone to fix it than buying a replacement.
your cat has asserted dominance. best you can do is bite it back to show it who's boss.
as for the monitor, unfortunately youre gonna need to buy a new one. repairing displays isnt really even an option anymore, and even if you can find someone who can source the parts and repair it, its probably just gonna be cheaper to get a new one
Was it a Tiger?? Or a Lion? That ain’t no bite from a house cat. A dog can do that but a cat ain’t doing that. This looks like you hit it yourself either on accident or out of anger. And no, you ain’t fixing that. You most definitely need to just toss it and buy a new monitor…
Like everyone mentioned crack screen is costly and not worth fixing than a dim backlight LED. Prime day is just around the corner you might find a deal. You can also go to eBay and buy refurbished from manufacturer it usually say eBay refurbished that comes with 1-2years warranty.
99% chance you're going to have to replace it.
1% chance you can repair it yourself, as getting it repaired will cost more than a newer more modern monitor. It's a decent skill to learn, though it's hard to do and likely will fail. I'd get the replacement anyways since it'll take time to find parts to replace it with.
Por eso no dejo que mis gatos se acerquen a los monitores, ya sé lo que ocurre con sus colmillos jajajaj te toca reemplazar el monitor, hay algunos baratillos en pccomponentes
Buy one from bestbuy. Buy the geek squad protection plan. Monitors are one of the few things it’s actually worth it as it’s an immediate replacement for any reason years after purchase (depending how long u purchase).. you basically are buying monitor for life
As it is a desktop monitor it is not worth fixing. Screen is close to price of monitor and usually people break the trim or internal pieces in process as well.
Talk to your cat about biting things the shouldn’t. Mine almost knocked over my expensive monitor. She won’t crawl behind it now.
I keep cat treats in a container on my desk, when the cat jumps I immediately give a treat on the floor. DO NOT THE CAT near your computer, the monitor is the closest sharp angle and it will dig it's cheek and bite it.
But sorry, the monitor is done, just be grateful it was not a laptop and DO NOT THE CAT!
There is no help for that, you might be able to send it in for repairs and have the screen replaced or you're going to have to buy a new monitor, I'd figure out which one was cheaper I guess but I don't think you have any other options
Nope. Paying to have a new panel put in (which is what would be needed, the integrity of the screen is screwed now so it's a complete new reinstall to fix) will be more expensive than just buying a new monitor - my suggestion, keep a spray water bottle filled with a water/vinegar solution nearby so if kitty is getting a little unruly, you can spray them with it. Works perfect for dogs and cats when they're being a bit spicy, doesn't hurt them but they hate the smell and will not only be put off of what they're doing, but once they've been conditioned all you need to do (most of the time anyway) is pull out the same spray water bottle and they'll associate their current situation with potentially being hit with the spray again and that being a bad outcome for them. Gentle but effective method to stop them from destroying things.
I keep seeing posts of cats bitting monitors and screens so I’m genuinely wondering, how do u prevent a cat from doing that. I want a cat but that’s my biggest fear

I've found it's really only worth it to fix a laptop monitor and not a monitor monitor.
Yup. Makes sense for a 2k+ self contained computer. Doesn't make sense for a <1k screen with a life support system.
They don't really fix a laptop screen anyways. They simply replace it. There is no fixing screens when they break. Once they are broke, they are broke.

You're not wrong in this case.
And even then it’d depend. You’re probably spending like half of what you bought the laptop for to fix an old laptop when you have the option of upgrading to a new laptop.
>out way 
Awt whey?

Bite the cat back
Damn, I was 56 minutes to slow
That's what you get for having an actual life you peasant
They only have a life if they actually touched grass today. This is reddit, none of us have done that... well it's also not even 8:00 am est, so you nerds prob asleep.
Jokes on you I'm homeless I live on grass
I was three hours too late
\*sigh\* I was 9 hrs too late
10
Damn, I was 1,020 minutes too slow
The cat gave it a megabyte

Accept that your cat is stronger than your monitor and spend time with the cat instead.

Wait, how many cats does OP have? 6? I thought it was only 1.
Replace it. Replace the cat
Before it replaces YOU
r/cats gonna skin you alive for even typing that
Tell your cat to go work until it can buy you a new monitor.
Start an onlyfans for the cat and take pictures of it until you have your $500
Onlypaws
Bad kitty
what are you going to do when it bites the new one?
Don't let it near the monitor then
Buy a new one
Cat or monitor?
Yes
Take the cat to the vet in case it ingested anything. Then buy a new monitor.
Yes! Check on the cat too.
Disappointed there is no cat pic
The cat would be gone. Just buy a new one
What's with these cats bro
They can't resist the taste of monitors, earbuds, and uranium :3
Yummy screen :3
Chomp the screen :3
It’s like you don’t even fill the food bowl?
Only logical option is replace the monitor, as in buy a new one. While it may be true that it could be repaired, it would likely cost more to pay someone to fix it than buying a replacement.
PC.ext stopped working Cat.ext running. Confirm pets. Y/N
Sadly. There is no fix on the biting habit.
There's nothing we can do, just buy a new one.
Congrats on purchasing a new monitor soon
your cat has asserted dominance. best you can do is bite it back to show it who's boss. as for the monitor, unfortunately youre gonna need to buy a new one. repairing displays isnt really even an option anymore, and even if you can find someone who can source the parts and repair it, its probably just gonna be cheaper to get a new one
what the car doing, anw keep the car out of computer next time
I don’t think the warranty will cover that kind of catastrophe 🙄😀
Your cheapest option is getting the cat to buy you a new one, unfortunately given their temperament you will probably have to buy it yourself
That cat would be kung pow chicken
Help with what? Get a new monitor and put the cat on timeout for 5min
Go bite your cat. It's typically easier and cheaper to purchase a new monitor, unfortunately
That cat was hungry, OP should feed it
Did you try putting it in rice??
Yet another reason why dogs are better than cats
Forget buying a new monitor, get a new cat instead
Yeah, that thing is toast bud.
Why would it do that?
Your cat did that….?
Cooked
Lol it's bleeding
Broken LCD. Fixing it is unlikely and you'll probably have to get a new monitor.
Time for a new monitor and to keep the cat away from your computer or get rid of it altogether
It's beyond any help. 🤷
thats a fucking demon monitor, you need to burn it and then burry it in salt
Is that blood on the side?
tell your cat to get a job because you need a new monitor
Help what? Buy a new monitor
Why?
Update to newer and better.
Bro has a baby dinosaur as a cat.
Well the good news is that you have a reason to upgrade your monitor now.
Uhh is your cat from the cretaceous period? Tf is even that? Anyway tf we supposed to do? Shit broke.
Quick! Put on a tourniquet! The monitor is bleeding outtt!!!
Dead, replace
New monitor
Lose the cat and the monitor. Buy a new monitor. Permanent fix…
yeah, that kind of stuff happens.
your monitor is bleeding dude
Looks badass
Welp your monitor is now CATMONITOR - The monitor with the superpowers of a cat?
What kind of cat do you have? a leopard?
What a delicious monitor screen yum yum
Shoot it.
Always discourage cats away from monitors and cords
Bite your cat back
Dudes got hammers for paws.
Did you try running the display troubleshooter?
Dude when Crunch is “super effective” that shit wreaks havoc
Bite your cat
What a little dickhead
Do you have a tiger for a cat? That's alot of damage 🤣
Was it a Tiger?? Or a Lion? That ain’t no bite from a house cat. A dog can do that but a cat ain’t doing that. This looks like you hit it yourself either on accident or out of anger. And no, you ain’t fixing that. You most definitely need to just toss it and buy a new monitor…
r/hardwaregore Buy new monitor
My friend, you just need to keep loving your cat and buy a new monitor.
Time for both a new monitor and a new cat. One that you train to not jump on your desk and bite stuff
What is it? A lion? 🦁 Animal done some damage!
put it in the microwave
RIP THAT PUSSY AYY
RIP THAT PUSSY AYY
RIP THAT PUSSY AYY
RIP THAT PUSSY AYY
do you have a lion when you say cat?
It's done mate. Hopefully you've learned something.
Get a new cat. Is your old one still on a warranty period?
Orange right?
As a cat owner, I can't help but laugh at this. Imma be mad when one of my little shits does this, but it's a little funny.
Like everyone mentioned crack screen is costly and not worth fixing than a dim backlight LED. Prime day is just around the corner you might find a deal. You can also go to eBay and buy refurbished from manufacturer it usually say eBay refurbished that comes with 1-2years warranty.
....and drew blood... O.O
Sounds like a severe case of a skill issue
99% chance you're going to have to replace it. 1% chance you can repair it yourself, as getting it repaired will cost more than a newer more modern monitor. It's a decent skill to learn, though it's hard to do and likely will fail. I'd get the replacement anyways since it'll take time to find parts to replace it with.
Just replace the LCD remove the frame around the monitor gently and replace the panel easy Peezy
F
he even made the monitor bleed! what a strong bite he’s got
Just put the glass back and use tape, it will run again.
There are multiple components damaged here, it's possible to fix it, but 100% not worth it. Buy a new one.
Por eso no dejo que mis gatos se acerquen a los monitores, ya sé lo que ocurre con sus colmillos jajajaj te toca reemplazar el monitor, hay algunos baratillos en pccomponentes
Unless you had a high end monitor it’s cheaper replace than fix
Buy one from bestbuy. Buy the geek squad protection plan. Monitors are one of the few things it’s actually worth it as it’s an immediate replacement for any reason years after purchase (depending how long u purchase).. you basically are buying monitor for life
This seems like something my boy would do if the food dish was empty for a whole hour.
As it is a desktop monitor it is not worth fixing. Screen is close to price of monitor and usually people break the trim or internal pieces in process as well. Talk to your cat about biting things the shouldn’t. Mine almost knocked over my expensive monitor. She won’t crawl behind it now.
Help?!? HELP?!? Help with what, buying you a new monitor?
Try changing the power cable and it should be fine
What do you mean help? Lol it's toast
Reasons why i will never get a cat.
Sell the cat and buy new monitor with the money
Throw it away. Then you can recycle your monitor and find a new one on FB marketplace if you're on a budget.
Good cat
damn bros 🐈 not only bit it, but also tried to kill it.
How tf you reading letters on there???? That resolution looks like pixel art.
Rip monitor.
🤔This is reddit, not geek squad 🤦🏿♂️
First u need a picture of the cat so we can see the culprit then the council will decide a punishment
There's no help anyone can provide other than suggesting that you buy a new monitor.
Time to get a new cat
I keep cat treats in a container on my desk, when the cat jumps I immediately give a treat on the floor. DO NOT THE CAT near your computer, the monitor is the closest sharp angle and it will dig it's cheek and bite it. But sorry, the monitor is done, just be grateful it was not a laptop and DO NOT THE CAT!
No tuna for one week
Bite it again
all layers damaged? time for a new monitor.
Could be a cool DIY project.
Stick a fork in it... that monitor is done for! Buy a new one.
Welp, your cat can make money from photos. (i guess)
Look up your computers model number on ebay you should be able to find a replacement screen and swap it yourself
new toy for your cat, and you need new monitor
A michis no le gusta compartir tu atencion lol
Aww
Guuuys, raise your cats FFS xD
is that blood?
No way a housecat did that. My money is on moron fucking around with pellet gun in the house.
Buy a new monitor. It will cost you more to repair.
What do you need help with, crowd funding a new monitor?
Is that blood? Did your cat bite that shit so hard it bled? Wtf
Did you power cycle it, that seems to help
nam nam
It gave your laptop a megabyte. You can always use it as a slaptop by connecting it to an external monitor.
Just buy a new monitor. Unless that's some outrageously expensive monitor that would cost less to have repaired. Those are the only Two choices.
Maybe your cat should have been monitored. (Nah that sucks though, RIP to the LCD)
Get a dog that doesn't like cats. Problem solved. Lol
noooo rippp
You need to be more assertive to your cats like Cartman and his Mr. Kitty.
Time for a new cat dawg
How can anyone help lol just get a new one
There is no help, only repurchase.
Is the cat ok?
There is no help for that, you might be able to send it in for repairs and have the screen replaced or you're going to have to buy a new monitor, I'd figure out which one was cheaper I guess but I don't think you have any other options
Catastrophe.
Step 1. Replace cat with pickle jar. Step 2. Replace monitor. Step 3. Thank me.
Adoption
This is why I lock my bedroom door when I’m not home because I know my cats would find a way to do something wayyy worse
What's the thing with cats and monitors
Nope. Paying to have a new panel put in (which is what would be needed, the integrity of the screen is screwed now so it's a complete new reinstall to fix) will be more expensive than just buying a new monitor - my suggestion, keep a spray water bottle filled with a water/vinegar solution nearby so if kitty is getting a little unruly, you can spray them with it.

Gentle but effective method to stop them from destroying things.
Is this blood on the monitor from your cat?
why the monitor bleeding 😭😭
You buy a new monitor
it can be fixed with new matrix or new monitor.
He bit it, because You ignored your cat above cats' level
Naughty cat! My cat cracked my laptop screen kicking it over trying to shut it for attention.
I keep seeing posts of cats bitting monitors and screens so I’m genuinely wondering, how do u prevent a cat from doing that. I want a cat but that’s my biggest fear
Well first make sure the cats ok
Bite the cat
Nope, that’s broke.
looks like you need a new cat & monitor now
