To replace the LCD is fairly straightforward; you start by turning the PC off, and then remove the rubber feet on the LCD's trim piece. Also look for small stickers which may also have Phillips head screws beneath them. A small (size 1, 0, or 00) Phillips screwdriver is needed to remove the screws. Then gently pry the LCD trim piece from the back cover. A small, thin standard screwdriver works well for this job. Gently push the screwdriver into the seam along the edge, prying gently. It will pop when they come loose, but be careful not to break the small clips on the trim piece. Once you have a couple of clips separated, then you can remove the remainder by hand; be gentle with it, the tiny clips are easy to break if you are rough with it.
Once the Trim piece is removed, loosen the screws on the hinges, and then remove the tiny Phillips screws on the sides of the hinges. (You will need the smallest screwdriver for this part) Gently unplug the ribbon cable (the video cable) on the back of the LCD panel, and from the inverter as well. You can then remove the bad LCD panel.
Be very cautious in handling the new LCD panel. They are sensitive to ESD (electro static discharge) as well as having a sensitive strip across the rear backside of the panel. Avoid touching this area, and handle gently by the edges. Leave the protective film on the screen’s surface during installation. (If applicable) You can remove tape just before reattaching the LCD trim to minimize potential damage to your new screen.
Install the new LCD screen by connecting the video cable and inverter cable, then reattach the LCD trim, remove the protective film (if applicable), then install screws and feet in reverse order. You should then be able to power on your laptop.
