Replacement of screen on Dell Latitude 14 5410 screen made by LaptopScreen.com
Tools
For the replacement process we will need the following tools: a heat gun,
a plastic pick, tweezers and a screwdriver
Shut down the laptop
To begin turn the laptop off and disconnect the power cord
Remove the bezel
Start removing the bezel. The bezel is held in place by tubs and the glue along
the outer edge. Using plastic pick pry off the bezel from the back cover. Start
from the top left corner then move along the top outer edge. Using both hands
start unsnapping the tabs underneath the bezel. Go along the perimeter.
Put the bezel aside
Release the screen
We assume that the LCD screen is held in place by two stripes of glue on the
right and the left sides. Using a heat gun start warming up the glue. Use a plastic
pick to pry off the LCD screen. Remove two screws at the bottom of the screen.
Release the two hooks at the top and place the LCD on the keyboard.
It turns out that the use of the Heat Gun was unnecessary. The glue was used
to attach two metal plates to the screen
Remove metal plates
Remove the old glue from underneath the metal plates. Put the metal plates
aside
Disconnect the video cable
Peel off the tape securing the video connector. Using the plastic pick open the
connector's bracket. Disconnect the video cable. Discard the old screen
Connect the new screen
Take the new screen and place it on the keyboard. Reconnect the video cable.
Close the connector's bracket and secure it with a tape
Reattach the metal plates
Next step is to reattach the two metal plates to the back of the new LCD screen.
Use alcohol to clean the surfaces. Apply two adhesive stripes to the back of the
LCD screen. Reattach the metal plates
Install the new screen
Lift the screen up making sure that the top side is hung on hooks. Replace two
Phillips screws in the bottom corners. Remove the protective film
Test the new screen
Now we can test the new screen. Reconnect the power cord and turn the laptop
on. The screen is working and we can finish the replacement process
Replace the bezel
Press firmly along the perimeter snapping tabs back in place. Use one hand to
support the back cover while snapping tabs at the bottom of the screen. Turn the
laptop over and make sure that all the tabs are in place near the hinges.
Turn the laptop on and we are done!
