Einleitung

If you're having issues with your monitor, you'll most likely need to replace it. Due to the fact that the monitor is one assembly, if a new issue occurs with your screen you'll need to replace the entire screen.

To replace the monitor, you'll need to disassemble most of the laptop.

I was able to do this repair on this exact model of laptop without dismantling the bottom half of the laptop. It’s not hard at all, all you’ve got to do is just separate the bezel from the lid of the laptop and pull it out from behind the base. It saves lots of trouble of dismantling. You can’t replace the hinges this way, though, but you can certainly replace the LCD itself without dismantling the bottom half of the laptop.

But can I boot to an external display via hdmi if the main LCD is broken?
