Tools

For the replacement process we will need the following tools: a Heat gun, Several plastic picks, and an X-acto knife

Shut down the laptop

To begin turn the laptop off and disconnect the power cord

Remove the bezel

Start removing the bezel. Pull the inner edge of the bezel away from the glass unsnapping
the tabs underneath Start from the left side and then go around the perimeter.
Put the bezel aside

Warm up the back cover

The LCD screen is glued to the back cover. There are plastic pull tabs at the bottom that can
be used to remove the glue from underneath the LCD. But since that doesn't always work
easily and also destroys the adhesive, a less invasive procedure is preferred. We'll use a
heat gun to soften the glue instead. Warm up the left and right sides of the top cover

Separate the LCD screen

Using plastic pick start gently separating the LCD screen. Use a second plastic pick to
prevent the screen from sticking back. Use the heat gun repeatedly on both sides to
make sure the glue is soft. Continue separating the LCD screen using a third plastic
pick on the right side. Move the pick along the edge. Use an X-acto knife to cut strands
of glue between the LCD and the back cover. Move the plastic pick along the edge on the
left side. Separate the LCD screen and place it on the keyboard

Disconnect the video cable

The video connector is secured with clear tape. Gently peel off the tape and disconnect
the video cable. Discard the old panel

Connect the new screen

Take the new LCD screen and place it on the keyboard. Reconnect the video cable.
Secure connector with a clear tape. CAUTION! It is very important not to force any
of the connectors. As well you must not twist or slant the connector when plugging it in

Test the screen

Lift the screen up. Secure it in vertical position. Before we continue it is good to check
if the screen is working. Press the power button and if the start up graphics appears
we can finish the installation process. Turn the laptop off

Reinstall the new screen using adhesive strips

In order to glue the LCD screen to the back cover we are going to use High-strength,
anti-static, stretch release adhesive strips which you can buy on our site:

Apply one strip on each side of the back cover making sure the pull tabs are sticking out
from under the screen. Remove the protective film from the strips. Lift the LCD screen up
and press firmly along the sides to glue the screen to back cover

Replace the bezel

Start from the bottom, make sure the screen protective film tab stays inside the
frame. Go around the perimeter snapping tabs back in place. At this point you can remove
the protective film.

Turn the laptop on. And we are done!
