REMOVAL OF LCD SCREEN FROM LAPTOPS
THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED AS
A COURTESY, FREE OF CHARGE WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL APPLY IN YOUR
SPECIFIC APPLICATION, NOR WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BODILY INJURY OR PART
DAMAGE CAUSE BY FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS
- TURN OFF THE LAPTOP, REMOVE
THE BATTERY, AND DISCONNECT IT FROM THE AC OUTLET.
- LOOK FOR SMALL ROUND OR
SQUARE SHAPED PLASTIC STICKERS, OR RUBBER PADS AT THE FRONT, AND SIDES OF YOUR
LCD SCREEN.
- REMOVE THESE ROUND OR
SQUARE SHAPED STICKERS WITH A VERY SMALL FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER. THIS WILL
REVEAL THE ACTUAL SCREWS THAT ARE HOLDING THE LCD PANEL TOGETHER.
- NOW USE A VERY SMALL
PHILIPS OR STAR SHAPED SCREW DRIVER TO OPEN ALL OF THESE SCREWS, AND MAKE SURE
YOU REMEMBER WHICH ONE GOES WHERE.
- NOW THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN OUT
ALL THE SCREWS GENTLY PULL OUT THE TOP FRAME BY INSERTING YOUR FINGER NAILS
BETWEEN THE LCD SCREEN AND THE PLASTIC FRAME. DO NOT USE FLAT SCREW DRIVER
ANYWHERE BY THE LCD SCREEN, BECAUSE YOU COULD EASILY SCRATCH YOUR SCREEN. YOU
MAY USE A FLAT SCREW DRIVER AT THE OUTER CORNERS OF THE SCREEN TO OPEN THE
HOUSING. IN SOME IBM LAPTOPS YOU MUST SLIDE DOWN THE FRAME TO DISENGAGE IT
FROM THE BACK PANEL
- NOW THAT YOU HAVE OPENED
THE HOUSING YOU STILL HAVE 4 TO 6 MORE SCREWS TO OPEN, TO DETACH THE LCD FROM
THE HOUSING.
- AFTER REMOVING ALL THE
SCREWS NOW IT’S THE TIME TO REMOVE THE CABLES. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH CABLES
THEY ARE EXTREMELY FRAGILE AND YOU CAN EASILY BREAK THEM. ALL LCD SCREENS ARE
ATTACHED WITH TWO SETS OF CABLES, ONE IS THE DATA CABLE AND THE OTHER IS THE
INVERTER CABLE. GENTLY PULL OUT THE DATA CABLE FORM THE BACK OF THE LCD ( SOME
TIMES A PIECE OF TAPE IS THERE TO PREVENT THE CABLE FROM BECOMING LOOSE).
- NOW REMOVE THE INVERTER
CABLE, BUT BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE TERMINALS, BECAUSE INVERTER BOARDS
HAVE A VERY HIGH VOLTAGE EVEN IF THE LAPTOP IS OFF.
- DO THE SAME THING IN
REVERSE TO REINSTALL YOUR REPLACEMENT SCREEN
