Unhappy Toshiba Satellite laptop replace touch screed

Is there any computer service close by that can replace the touch screen?

Getting black lines and round black dots on the screen.

Depending on your model # and comfort level, I have used ifixit.com to replace the touch screen on my Toshiba Satellite. They provide very good step by step instructions, parts and tools. I have replaced iphone batteries, screens and apple watch screens and screen sensors with their products. I have no experience with local shops.

I checked with ifixit.com, they have no answer. Thanks.

You can buy replacement laptop screens on Amazon. If you find the correct screen, it may be a DIY project.

Do you mean no answer to the phone call? Seems like something they could do

Watching the Youtube video, it looks like anyone could do it. I was surprised how inexpensive replacement screens are on Amazon.

Unhappy Toshiba Authorized service center

There is no trim around the screen on a L55W Satellite. All sites say it should be done by a professional. Looking for a local Toshiba Authorized service center.

Have you tried this website?

Locate A Service Provider

Also, have you asked MMD on Rt 441 if they can install a replacement laptop screen? Another option is Gizmo Depot. It looks like you can buy the screen on Amazon for about $65.

It's a touch screen with glass cover. MMD wants $350 to $400 because the glass will break. Bought a new one for $499.99.
