Revainrating 5 out of 5

New life for an old laptop.

My gateway laptop screen was starting to stop working, it was doing some weird things and pressing the screen was the only way to get it working! Grrrrrrr. I did a search and found a video on how to take apart the display assembly, did it, put it back together and it still doesn't work. I checked if the graphics card is working properly by plugging the VGA port into another monitor and everything was fine. There must be something with a thin circuit board on the back of the screen, I thought. So I looked up the screen's model number on Revain and here it is. Received much faster than promised. Within 10 minutes I installed the new screen and was ready for the moment of truth: turn it on! It immediately turned out bright, bold and beautiful! Went like clockwork. A much cheaper alternative to buying a new laptop or handing it over to the nerd team where they pay $75 to tell me I need a new screen. Quick fix and it worked like a charm.

Pros
  • Cool product
