Dell Latitude 7490 Screen Replacement Cost Pakistan
The Dell Latitude 7490 is the single most common laptop we see walk in from Lahore offices — a corporate workhorse that's been in circulation long enough that its screens fail from years of daily hinge-flex as much as from drops. Parts availability at Hafeez Center is excellent for this model, and most 7490 screen jobs are completed same-day.
The 7490 shipped in three screen tiers: a budget HD panel on the lowest configurations, a standard FHD IPS non-touch panel (the most common), and an FHD touch variant. We confirm your exact configuration from the service tag before quoting, since backlit-keyboard units and touch units both carry a price difference over the base configuration. WhatsApp 0314 4000131 with a photo of the damage and your service tag for an instant estimate.

Signs your screen needs replacement
- ▲Cracked or shattered screen with fracture lines spreading from an impact point
- ▲Screen flickers or drops signal only at certain lid angles — a common fault on 7490 units after years of repeated hinge flex, often the cable rather than the panel
- ▲A dark horizontal or vertical band that widens gradually over days or weeks of use
- ▲Dim, uneven, or completely dead backlight while the image is still faintly visible with a torch held to the screen
- ▲Grey or purple colour tint across the display, usually signalling a panel nearing end of life on older 7490 units

Frequently asked
Does the Latitude 7490 have a touchscreen option?
Yes, though most units in Pakistan's corporate fleet market are non-touch FHD. Touch adds roughly Rs. 3,500 over the equivalent non-touch FHD panel. We confirm your configuration from the service tag before ordering.
Should I upgrade from HD to FHD if my 7490 shipped with the budget screen?
Almost always yes if you're already paying for screen replacement labour — the jump from 1366x768 HD to 1920x1080 FHD IPS costs roughly Rs. 1,000-1,500 more but is a dramatic improvement for reading documents, spreadsheets, and multiple windows side by side, which is exactly what this laptop is used for.
What panel brands go into the 7490?
Innolux and LGD, the tier-1 suppliers Dell used at the factory for this model. We disclose the exact panel spec before you approve — no unbranded substitutes.
Matte or glossy — which does the 7490 use?
Anti-glare matte across HD, FHD non-touch, and FHD touch configurations — standard for Dell's business Latitude line, unlike the glossy panels common on consumer Inspiron laptops.
Do you handle bulk repairs if our office has several 7490 units with cracked screens?
Yes — we regularly service corporate fleets of Latitude 7490s for Lahore offices, with volume pricing and pickup available instead of bringing units in individually. WhatsApp 0314 4000131 with your unit count for a corporate quote.
