Screen line repair: fixing the line, keeping your screen

Lines on an OLED screen usually come from a fault where the panel connects to its thin driver circuit along one edge. Working under a microscope, the technician repairs that connection on your existing display instead of throwing the whole screen away.

• One thin vertical or horizontal line (green, pink, white or purple).
• A few thin lines, with the rest of the picture normal.
• Glass not cracked and touch working.

• Five or more lines, or a broad band of colour.
• Thick lines — usually a cracked panel.
• Black lines, black blotches or areas that are spreading.
• Cracked glass with the display damaged underneath.

For these we'll quote a screen replacement instead.

The warranty is 30 days and covers the same fault we repaired coming back. Line repair works on an ageing panel, so new lines can still appear later in a different place — that would be a new fault, not the one we repaired. We explain this at the counter before you decide.
