What can you do to recover when the inevitable happens? None of us are perfect. Accidents happen. Yes your screen is broke, the dreaded news you get when you take it into the repair store. The first response is but how, where, the screen is Gorilla Glass, If we knew the answer we would be glad to say, but the reality is that the glass is tough but your screen, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) isnt. This usually occurs if something is banged against the screen, or if you shut something hard in between the screen and the keyboard (Laptops) or when the device is dropped or the screen is flexed past its breaking point. This damage is common when a device is stepped on or sat upon. The glass doesn’t break, but the chemical inside that renders the image is leaking This type of damage is caused by pressure being applied either to the screen itself or to the back of the unit. So how to Protect your Device Use a Case - You may not like it,(its too bulky) but using a case on your phone is the simplest way to protect it. Keep it Out of Bed - Don’t leave your laptop or phone on the bed with you when you sleep. And never place it on the floor. If you do, when it falls off the bed (and it will), or if you step on it when you wake up, you’re likely to damage the screen. Tables are Good not Floors - Avoid putting larger, heavier objects in places where they can fall or somehow end up on top of your device. Screen damage caused by heavy objects is why it’s never a good idea to put your phone in your back pocket, . Lift Correctly- Try not to lift laptops or netbooks by the corner of the screen. Always pick them up by the bottom of the device. (remember the flexing screen pass a point) Bathrooms - Simple fact Phones and Bathrooms dont like each other no matter what you think, Be careful with liquids around mobile devices. Spills can damage the screen. Keys & Screens - Keys love to destroy your phone’s screen. In this case, you should just do yourself a favor and put your phone and your keys in different places If the above happens to you the team at Phone Repair Medic can help give us a call 6221237
