Signs your Acer Chromebook 314 needs this repair
- Cracked or shattered glass
- Ink-like blotches spreading across the picture
- Coloured lines or dead pixels
- A black screen while the laptop is clearly running
- Flickering when you move the lid
- A very dim picture you can only just make out
How we fix your Acer Chromebook 314
Not every screen fault needs a new screen. A picture that flickers as the lid moves often points to a worn display cable, and a very dim picture on older models can be a failed backlight or inverter. We test these first, because they cost less to fix than a full panel.
When the panel itself is damaged, we source a screen that matches your Acer Chromebook 314's size, resolution, connector and finish, fit it, and test brightness, colour and the webcam before you collect.
How long it takes
Common screens are often in stock and fitted the same day. If your panel has to be ordered, we give you a fitting date when you drop your laptop off.
Good to know: Stop using a cracked screen if the crack is spreading. Pressure on the lid can damage the display cable and hinges as well.

Common questions
Is it worth replacing the screen on my Acer Chromebook 314?
In most cases, yes. If the rest of the laptop works well, a new screen usually costs far less than a new laptop. If the repair doesn't make financial sense, we'll tell you.
Can I get to my files while the screen is broken?
Yes. If the laptop still runs, plug it into a monitor or TV through its HDMI, VGA or video-capable USB-C port and you can use it as normal.
