Einleitung

As your laptop ages, drops, spills, and time can cause damage to your laptop screen. If the image is often distorted, the LD light is corrupt, or just a blatant crack in the screen, you can follow these steps to easily replace your screen. Replacing the screen will allow for a better image as well as an easier use of your device, without the frustration of looking at an unsatisfactory display.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Using the spudger, push the orange tab to the unlock position.

Do you have shots of before and after? For this kind of step, iFixit prefers flipbook style shots.

You also used the screwdriver, not the spudger, in the image. Be sure to appropriately identify tools.

Schritt 2

Lift the battery from its compartment.
When reinstalling, insert back end of battery first, then clicking into place.

As before, include multiple shots to demonstrate how to do this. Also, since you’re not using the screwdriver, I would not include it in the background here.

Schritt 3

Using the spudger, remove the protective caps for the screen to expose the screws.
Using the Phillips #000 screwdriver, unscrew the bottom two 1mm screws.

Typically, iFixit wants you to remove the battery before doing work on the device. Note the fragment in the first bullet. Add flipbook style shots, and potentially separate to provide more room for depicting action. Measure all screws.

Schritt 4

Using the opening pick in between the front cover and bezel, gently loosen and lift the plastic bezel from the screen and backing.

How should I use the pick? Add more detail to the steps here.

Schritt 5

Gently lift the frame of the screen from the top to unhook the frame from the base.
When reassembling, hook the bottom of the screen to the base of the laptop before snapping into place.

The background is a bit messy here. I would retake the shots. How should they lift it? Gently, with force?

Schritt 6

Using the Phillips #000 screwdriver, unscrew the four 1 mm screws in the front corners of the metal frame.
Lift the screen slightly to expose the connector board.

Schritt 7

Using the spudger, carefully remove the webcam connector from the metal frame.

Can you add one more shot here to show what it looks like when it’s disconnected?

Schritt 8

Peel the tape covering the display cable, releasing the wire from the metal frame.
Unplug the display cable from the image processing board on the screen.

Where on the device is this? I would put in a zoomed out shot with markup to give some perspective. Also, the orientation on these two shots shifts, which is kind of confusing for me as a reader. ,
