If the display is damaged or malfunctioning, use this guide to replace it.

  1. gYjHTcKfxLLAZLso
    • Shut down the computer.

    • Disconnect the power and all external devices connected to the computer.

    • Working on your device while it is turned on may result in electric shock.

    • Use a Metal Spudger and remove the rubber foot closet from the bottom of the laptop.

  3. xO2oIVxVihIMUncV
    • Remove all of the screws located on the bottom of the laptop:

    • 5 Phillips 2.4 x 5.7 mm screws

    • 5 Phillips 2.0 x 5.0 mm screws

    • Make special note of each screw and screw lock size and location during removal and replacement.

    “5 Phillips 2.4 x 5.7 mm screws”

    “5 Phillips 2.0 x 5.0 mm screws”

    I think the color for the sizes are mixed up, because the one near the screen bending part are the bigger ones, yet it says they are the “2.0 x 5.0 mm” but they are the bigger ones.

    If I’m wrong, tell me because I’m not sure if thats the ways they’re named because I’m not an expert at screw sizes.

    Akeem Scrubb -

    This is the procedure for replacing the FAN, not the screen, and the board absolutely must be removed to replace the fan.

Question, why not just do step 21 on?

ETHREAL1 -

You can. Fold the computer all the way over and go from there. The only advantage to opening the bottom would be to disconnect the battery: a highly recommended procedure.

Corvallis Computer -

A little extra pulling the mother board out. But I guess better safe then sorry. All in all this was a good guide!

Brandon Courtney -

REMEMBER if your new touch screen does not work (no touch screen) go into the device manager and uninstall i2c hid device. restart the laptop and the driver (and touch) should work again.

Akeem Scrubb -

I was able to install a new screen. However, the “touch” does not work. I tried the uninstall i2c hid (and also HID- compliant touch screen) trick, but no luck. My guess is its my fault during install. Before I go diving back in for a loose connection, does anyone know which connection I should focus on?
