My screen is black and colored crack lines on it

My son likes to hit his tablet and the other day he said he smacked his tablet on his bed and the screen went black and looks cracked but it is under the glass with colored lines. It makes sounds when you click on back buttons even though you cannot see them. Can this tablet be fixed.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I'm no expert but it sounds like you need to get your LCD screen replaced. Don't quote me on that though.

It should be repairable. From reading your description it is safe to assume the LCD in the touch screen display has been cracked or damaged. The colored lines, color bleeding, black spots of odd sizes and shapes, visible cracks, and simply the image not displaying correctly are common signs of a damaged LCD.

I have not yet found a step-by-step guide that could help you to replace the LCD yourself. I am sure it's possible but I have not repaired this model before so I do not know how difficult the repair may be. Also some tablets have the digitizer and glass fused to the LCD, while some do not. If the displays parts(LCD/digitizer/glass) are fused together than its easier to replace the whole display rather then trying to separate the LCD from the digitizer and glass. If the whole display is not fused/adhered together than replacing just the LCD is not to challenging. So you may be able to attempt the repair yourself if you feel comfortable doing so, or seek a professional to do the repair.
