Hey everyone,
I accidentally bumped my laptop with my phone, and now there's a visible crack in the screen that only shows up when it's on. The outer glass looks fine, but the display glitches a lot. Do I just need to replace the screen, or could there be more going on? For reference, I have an HP 15.6-inch touchscreen laptop.

Yup, that's definitely a cracked LCD. The digitizer (the outer glass) is fine, so you just need to swap out the 15.6" LCD itself.
It sounds like you'll at least need a new LCD screen. Depending on how your specific laptop is built, that could vary in complexity.
Try searching for your exact model number along with 'screen replacement' to get a clearer idea of what's involved and the costs.
Thanks, I'm already looking up the specific LCD replacement. It seems manageable!
Could I do this myself? I've read it may just involve removing the back panel, replacing the LCD, and plugging it back in before sealing it up.
