Buyback criteria

Which screens are eligible for buyback at Broken LCD?

The key question is not the outer glass alone, but the real condition of the display layer. Broken LCD buys screens with cracked glass, scratches or wear as long as the LCD/OLED remains usable for reuse.

Broken glass or cosmetic wear does not automatically exclude a screen.
The LCD/OLED panel must still display properly.
Touch or flex issues may lower the category without automatically making the lot ineligible.

What we check first

Our intake logic is based on refurbishment value. A screen remains interesting when it can still serve as a technical base after glass replacement or cosmetic work.

Power-on and stable image output.
No blocking failure on the display layer itself.
Overall readable image and usable module.

Typical accepted cases

The most relevant lots are screens with damaged outer glass while the image remains usable. That is exactly the type of stock that keeps refurbishment value.

Cracked glass with normal image output.
Wear, light scratches or light marks.
Touch or flex issues that still leave the display active.

Why this rule matters

It keeps the intake focused on reusable screens and prevents truly recoverable modules from being mixed with parts that no longer carry technical value.

Questions related to this topic

Is a screen with broken glass but intact image still eligible?

Yes. That is one of the most valuable cases because the display layer still carries refurbishment value.

Does a touch issue automatically exclude a screen?

No. Depending on the model, it can still fit a dedicated pricing category as long as the LCD/OLED remains functional.
