Why TECNO Screens Crack and the Risks of Ignoring It
TECNO smartphones are built to withstand daily use, but their screens—often made of glass or reinforced materials like Gorilla Glass—can still crack under pressure. Here are the most common reasons for screen damage in 2025, based on Carlcare’s repair data:
Accidental Drops and Impacts
The leading cause of cracked TECNO screens is accidental drops. Whether you’re rushing through Nairobi’s busy streets or juggling tasks in Mombasa, a single drop onto a hard surface can shatter your screen. Carlcare’s 2024 data shows that 70% of screen repairs in Kenya were due to drops, with models like the TECNO Spark 10 Pro being particularly common due to their larger displays.
Pressure and Bending
Keeping your TECNO in a tight pocket or bag can exert pressure on the screen, especially if other items press against it. Over time, this stress can cause micro-cracks that eventually spread. Our technicians have seen cases where users unknowingly bent their phones while sitting, leading to visible damage.
Manufacturing Defects (Rare)
While rare, some TECNO screens may have minor manufacturing defects that make them more prone to cracking. If your device is still under warranty, Carlcare can help you check eligibility for a free repair—visit our warranty check page to confirm.
Risks of Ignoring a Cracked Screen
A cracked screen isn’t just a cosmetic issue; it can lead to serious problems if left unaddressed:
- Touchscreen Malfunction: Cracks can interfere with touch sensitivity, making your phone harder to use.
- Internal Damage: Dust and moisture can enter through cracks, damaging internal components like the motherboard.
- Worsening Cracks: Small cracks often spread over time, increasing repair costs.
- Safety Hazard: Shattered glass can cut your fingers or break off entirely, posing a risk.
Carlcare’s technicians strongly recommend addressing screen damage as soon as possible to prevent these issues. Delaying repairs can turn a simple fix into a costly replacement.
Can You Fix a Cracked TECNO Screen Yourself?
The internet is full of DIY tutorials claiming you can fix a cracked TECNO screen at home, but is it a good idea? While minor scratches might be manageable, a cracked screen often requires professional tools and expertise. Here’s why DIY repairs can do more harm than good:
Risks of DIY Screen Repairs
- Warranty Void: Opening your TECNO to replace the screen yourself will likely void your warranty. Check your status here before attempting any repairs.
- Further Damage: Without proper tools, you risk damaging delicate components like the display connector or motherboard.
- Non-Genuine Parts: Many DIY kits use low-quality screens that don’t match TECNO’s specifications, leading to poor display quality or touch issues.
- Safety Concerns: Handling broken glass and small components can be hazardous without proper training.
Temporary DIY Fixes for Minor Cracks
If you can’t visit a Carlcare service center immediately, here are some temporary measures:
- Apply a Screen Protector: A tempered glass protector can prevent small cracks from spreading.
- Avoid Pressure: Don’t press on the cracked area, as this can worsen the damage.
- Tape the Screen: Use clear packing tape to cover the cracks and prevent glass shards from falling off.
Safety Warning: These are temporary solutions only. For a permanent fix, professional repair is essential.
