Einleitung

This guide provides the steps and illustrations to remove the LCD panel from an ASUS K751MA-DS21TQ. Compared to most other laptops, this computer somewhat more difficult to pry apart the keyboard / palm rest from the case bottom. The same for the digitizer / bezel separation from the case top. The most time consuming step is releasing the screen from the face plate. It is taped down all the way around with a strong bond double-faced tape. It is not stretch release tape. Twice, this laptop model has had apparent display backlight failures when the actual problem was due to the motherboard.

    • Spudge in at the bottom corner of the display assembly.

    • Leave spudge inserted just enough to keep the bezel separated and pry hinge cover apart by pressing down on the seam.

    • The upper half of the hinge remains attached to the bezel. This part is fragile and can be easily snapped off.

    • The screen is taped down all the way around with a very strong bond double-faced foam tape. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the bond.

    • To separate the screen from the bezel, start spudging on the left side (when facing the front of the display).

    • Avoid the circuit boards at the top.

    • Work across the top and bottom while gently lifting the free side.

    • After removing the screen remove the remnants of the tape from the bezel in preparation for reassembly.

    • Take great care to not touch the clear digitizer glass with hands or tape adhesive.

    • Using nitrile, latex, or vinyl gloves will keep fingerprints from the display.

    • Apply hot air to loosen the bond. Too much heat will allow spots of adhesive to stick to the bezel.

    • Use a spudge to start lifting the tape, then grip with your fingers to pull the tape up.

    • Use a tacky portion of the old tape to lift off adhesive remaining in the tape channel.

    • Use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol to thoroughly clean any remaining tape from the tape channel.

    • If the inside if the glass digitizer panel gets smudged:

    • Lightly dampen a clean microfiber cloth with a mixture of 60% isopropyl alcohol and 40% distilled water.

    • Wipe the smudges clean, then dry with a dry area of the microfiber cloth.

    • Prepare the VHB Double Sided Heavy Duty Mounting tape for reassembly.

    • Using a perfectly cleaned nylon cutting board, place a 12" strip of tape on the board.

    • Using a sharp razor knife and a straight edge guide, cut a 6mm strip off each side.

    • Place a 17" piece of tape on the cutting board and cut it lengthwise down the center.

    • Apply the 12" strips to the sides with the original edge (not the side cut with the razor) to display side edge of the metal part of the frame. Do not let the tape overlap the LCD.

    • Do not let the tape overlap the LCD.

    • Trim the excess tape off the ends as shown to allow the tape at the top and bottom to cover from edge to edge.

    • Apply the 17" strips to the top and bottom of the frame with the original edge (not the side cut with the razor) to the metal part of the frame.

    • Trim the excess tape off top and bottom even with the outside edge of the tape on the sides.
