Do-It-Yourself Laptop Repair: LED Screen
Guided
Screen-Who likes seeing their laptop's screen cracked or busted? Some
frustrated users may opt to buy a brand new laptop right away. However,
that shouldn't be the case since a bad screen can be easily replaced.
Plus, this can be done by anyone at any time, including you. Save up.
Replacing a bad screen can be done for a fraction of what it would cost
to purchase a new laptop.
Here's how to replace your broken LED screen.
Steps:-
1
After turning your laptop off, disconnect all cables and devices.
Close the LED screen and place the laptop face down. Find and remove the
battery pack from its compartment.
2
Flip over the laptop and fully open the LED screen. Locate the rubber
screw covers in the front panel of your laptop's LED panel and remove
them. The screws from the front panel of the display assembly can be
removed by using a Phillips-head screwdriver. Set aside the front panel
after removing it. There may be instances when you may have to remove
the thin plastic strip between the LED screen and keyboard. Using a
flat-head screwdriver, carefully yank off the laptop casing.
3
Remove all screws from the exposed metal frame securing the LED
screen. Locate the inverter board, which is usually located on the
front-side bottom edge of the LED screen. Remove all remaining screws,
if there are any, and gently disconnect the cables on each side of the
inverter board.
4
Firmly hold the LED screen by its top edge. But be sure not to touch
the screen itself. Slide the LED screen downward, until its back is
exposed. Once you see the ribbon cable from the back of the LED screen,
disconnect it, then carefully remove the broken LED screen from the LED
panel and set it aside.
5
Do the steps in reverse to install the replacement LED screen.
6
If all else fails, have a professional company, like YOUR PC MATTERS,
do the fixing for you, which you can easily search over the internet
for. Your search must be specific. For instance, you can type key
phrases such as "laptop led screen repair Melbourne", "laptop keyboard
repair Melbourne" or "IT support Melbourne"
Tips:
Since it's very difficult to work on laptops, and any internal damage
done may void your warranty, be very discrete and careful. If you think
you can't do it yourself, there's no shame in consulting a
professional.
