Broken iPhone 7 Screen? Glass Only vs. LCD Replacement

The value of your iPhone 7 further enhances your communication abilities, yet there can come a time when it becomes damaged. In some instances, the need for an iPhone 7 repair might be due to damage caused to the screen after it’s fallen on the ground. Those circumstances can lead to the screen cracking, which could make the device inoperable, but will definitely give it an unsightly look.

The Key Differences in Repairs

At CapitalTech Smartphone Repair, we know that those accidents might only damage the glass, in contrast to ones that also damage the LCD. Both issues are cause for concern, yet clear differences exist between simple iPhone screen repair and iPhone 7 LCD replacement. In the latter case, you might see a blank screen, annoying lines across your screen or being unable to use the touch and swipe features.

Though your glass screen may be cracked, shattered or heavily scratched, the LCD screen may still be in completely working order. You can identify whether or not your LCD screen has been damaged by:

• Looking for new, out-of-place digital lines or patterns appearing on the iPhone's display.
  
• Black, colored spots, or blurred/discolored areas of the iPhone's screen.
  
• A totally black, or non-functional display. This is probably the most obvious sign of major damage.

When screen repair is involved, you should still be able to use your phone, though you will run into an issue that might damage your phone for good. That’s because those cracks can allow for water to seep into the device, which can be a problem if you have a tendency to use it near such areas. While you can purchase a screen protector, that’s really only a band-aid that won’t solve the main problem.

Another basic difference is the time frame for repairs, with the simple iPhone screen repair likely taking less than 10 minutes. That’s in contrast to the iPhone 7 LCD replacement, which depending on uncovering further damage or issues, could take an hour or longer. Yet making the decision to fix it can get you quickly back to normal.
