Screen Repair vs Replacement: What You Need to Know

ByBelmobile LabPosted on 2024-12-27

Not all screen damage is the same. Understanding the anatomy of your screen can save you money.

The 3 Layers of a Screen

  1. Glass: The top layer you touch.
  2. Digitizer: Detects your touch inputs.
  3. LCD/OLED Panel: Displays the image.

Scenario A: Just Cracked Glass If your image is perfect and touch works, you might only need a glass replacement (refurbishment). This keeps your original Apple panel!

Scenario B: Black Lines or Bleeding If the image is distorted, the OLED panel is broken. You need a full assembly replacement. At Belmobile, we offer both "Original Pull" (genuine) and High-Quality aftermarket options to fit your budget.
