Tools
For the replacement process we will need the following tools: plastic pick and a tweezers.
Shut down the laptop
To begin turn off the laptop and disconnect the power cord
Remove the bezel
Start removing the bezel. Use a plastic pick to pry off the inner edge from the screen.
Go around the perimeter unsnapping the tabs underneath. Put the bezel aside
Remove adhesive strips
The screen is held in place with adhesive strips with loose tabs above the top corners of the screen.
Using tweezers pick the tab on the right side and pull out adhesive strip. Pull out adhesive strip on
the left side. Place the screen on the keyboard
Disconnect the video cable
Peel off the clear tape securing the video connector. Using plastic pick open the connector’s bracket. Disconnect the video cable. Discard the old screen
Connect the new screen
Place the new screen onto the keyboard. Reconnect the video cable. Close the connector’s bracket,
secure it with clear tape
Test the new screen
Lift the screen up. Now we can test the new screen. Turn the laptop on. The screen is working
and we can continue the installation process
Install the new screen
Place the screen back onto the keyboard. As you can see the old adhesive strips were on the inner
surface of the laptop back cover. But in our case for convenience we are going to apply new
adhesive strips on the sides of the screen. By the way: We offer standard double-sided tape
