A "broken screen" refers to a display that has cracks, chips, or other damage, making it difficult to see or use. This often happens to devices like smartphones, tablets, or laptops when they are dropped or hit against a hard surface. A broken screen can affect the device's functionality, causing issues like unresponsive touch areas or distorted images. Repairing a broken screen usually involves replacing the damaged glass or display. Many people choose to take their devices to a professional repair service, while others may attempt to fix it themselves using kits available online. Keeping devices in protective cases can help prevent future damage to the screen.
