Quick Answer: A Peloton screen replacement costs $350–$700 depending on model ($400–$500 for Bike, $500–$700 for Bike+). It's free under the 12-month warranty. You can buy from Peloton directly, find refurbished screens from $200, or DIY and save the $100 install fee. Before spending money, try the software fixes below — many "dead" screens are actually fixable with a factory reset or static discharge.

Try These Fixes Before Replacing
Many screens that appear dead are actually experiencing software issues. Before spending $350+, try:
- Static discharge reset — Unplug everything, hold Power + Volume Up for 60 seconds. Fixes ~60% of black screen issues.
- Factory reset via Recovery Mode — Power + Volume Up to enter recovery, wipe data.
- White screen fixes — Button combination resets for flashing white screens.
- Cable reseating — Loose cables cause blank screens and unresponsive touch.
If all software fixes fail and the screen is truly dead (no backlight, no response to any button combination, no Recovery Mode access), then replacement is the answer.

Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Screens
Peloton has used multiple screen generations. Make sure you buy the right one.
Gen 1 (Original 22" Screen)
- Found on early Peloton Bikes
- Older processor, slower performance
- More prone to touchscreen issues and boot problems
- Being phased out — harder to find new replacements
Gen 2 (Updated Screen)
- Improved processor and touchscreen digitizer
- Better performance and reliability
- Compatible with newer Peloton software features
- The standard for current replacement orders from Peloton
Bike+ Screen (24")
- Larger 24" rotating display
- Different mounting mechanism than standard Bike
- Higher resolution
- NOT interchangeable with original Bike screens
Critical: Make sure the replacement screen matches your bike model. Bike and Bike+ screens are NOT interchangeable. Check your model number before ordering.
How to Check Your Warranty Status
Before buying a replacement, check if Peloton will cover it for free:
- Find your delivery date — Check your original order confirmation email or your Peloton account at members.onepeloton.com
- Calculate warranty window — Peloton's standard warranty is 12 months from delivery date
- Contact Peloton Support — Call (866) 679-9129 or chat at onepeloton.com/support. Have your serial number ready (found on the sticker behind the screen or under the seat post)
- Document the issue — Take a photo or video of the screen problem before calling. This speeds up the warranty claim
Extended warranty: If you purchased Peloton's extended warranty or bought through a retailer that offers one, you may be covered beyond 12 months. Check your purchase records.
DIY Screen Replacement Guide
Replacing the screen yourself saves the $100 technician fee and is straightforward with basic tools.
Step 1: Power Off and Unplug
Shut down the tablet and unplug the bike from the wall completely. Wait 30 seconds for any residual charge to dissipate.
Step 2: Remove the Old Screen
On the original Bike, locate the screws securing the screen to the mounting arm (typically 4 screws accessible from behind). Have someone hold the screen while you remove the last screws — don't let it fall.
Step 3: Disconnect Cables
Carefully unplug the power and data cables from the back of the tablet. Note which connector goes where — take a photo first.
Step 4: Mount the New Screen
Align the new screen with the mounting arm. Connect the cables first (easier to reach before the screen is secured), then screw the screen into place.
Step 5: Power On and Activate
Plug in the bike and power on. The new screen will need to go through initial setup. You may need to: - Connect to WiFi - Log into your Peloton account - The screen may need to register with Peloton's servers (contact support if you see an activation prompt)
Step 6: Test Everything
Verify: touchscreen works, metrics display, WiFi connects, Bluetooth pairs.

When to Replace vs When to Repair
Replace When:
- Screen is physically cracked (glass or LCD panel)
- Backlight is completely dead after all troubleshooting
- Touchscreen digitizer has permanently failed (confirmed after factory reset)
- Gen 1 screen with multiple recurring issues (upgrade opportunity)
Don't Replace When:
- Screen has software issues (boot loops, freezes) — try factory reset first
- Touch works intermittently — often a loose cable, not a dead digitizer
- Screen flickers — could be cable or software issue
- Bike won't turn on — may be a power issue, not a screen issue

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth replacing a Peloton screen or should I buy a new bike?
If just the screen is broken and the rest of the bike works fine, replacing the screen ($350-$700) is far cheaper than a new bike ($1,445-$2,495). If multiple components are failing, calculate total repair costs vs a new/refurbished bike.
Can I use a regular Android tablet as a Peloton screen replacement?
No. The Peloton screen connects to the bike's internal sensors and power system through proprietary cables. A regular tablet won't receive cadence, resistance, or power data from the bike frame. You need a Peloton-specific screen.
Will a replacement screen keep my workout history?
Yes. All workout data is stored on Peloton's servers. When you log into your account on the new screen, everything syncs back.
Can I upgrade from Gen 1 to Gen 2 screen?
In most cases, yes — if the mounting hardware is compatible. The connector types may differ between generations, so check compatibility before ordering. Contact Peloton support to confirm whether your bike frame supports the newer screen.
Does Peloton transfer the warranty to a new screen?
When Peloton replaces the screen (either under original warranty or as a paid replacement), the new screen gets its own warranty period. Third-party screens typically have the seller's own warranty, not Peloton's.
How do I know if my screen is Gen 1 or Gen 2?
Check your bike's serial number or look in Settings > About Tablet for the hardware revision. Gen 1 screens are generally found on bikes manufactured before mid-2020. You can also tell by performance — Gen 1 is noticeably slower.
Can a local electronics repair shop fix my Peloton screen?
Some repair shops can replace cracked glass or digitizers, potentially at lower cost than a full screen replacement. However, Peloton screens aren't standard tablet parts, so find a shop experienced with them. LCD/backlight repairs are less common since those components are harder to source.
What should I do with my old broken screen?
Check if it has any value as parts (the housing, mount hardware, or working components may be useful to others). Peloton screens contain lithium batteries, so don't throw them in regular trash — recycle them at an electronics recycling center.
Disclaimer: Screen replacement involves handling electrical components and heavy hardware. Work carefully and follow Peloton's official guidance when available. FitSwitch is not affiliated with Peloton Interactive, Inc.
