Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


I teach at a small alternative education school (junior high and high school). We, like many schools, use Chromebooks for our classes. Unfortunately, I am the de facto tech guy so I get out in charge of figuring out whether items can be fixed.

Model: ASUS chromebook C202S
Purchased: August 2017
Issue: At the end of the year, I had a student bring a chromebook to me that the screen is gray, white and black with a few colored lines on it. She stated that when she opened the chromebook up, the screen cake up like the pictures below.

My main concern right now is ordering a screen and it not being what is wrong with it. Is this simply a screen replacement or is there something worse that I need to be looking at?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

This is drawing from my extensive experience with broken jukebox touchscreens, but that is pretty clearly not a "it was just like that" looking screen. That's a "dropped it down the stairs" looking screen. Or on jukeboxes, a "drunken collision during a brawl" screen.

That is 110% cracked screen from obvious user abuse. Seen these often in my small repair shop, usually it's from being dropped by kids.

That screen replacement cost is likely going to not be worth the effort, considering how cheap Chromebooks are for an entire identical replacement :(
