How to replace a laptop screen
I won't go through all the details but the basic steps are:
- Take out the basel surrounding the screen by removing the screws you will find hidden under the rubber buds. To help you unclipp the bazel you need a soft plastic card. I ussualy use my CO-OP fidelity card. Bit by bit.
- Remove the screws you will find on the side of the screen. Normally you will find 4 screws on each side.
- Remove the cables attached to the screen.
- Remove the lcd screen and look for a code on the back. Example: lp171wp4 tl n1
- Google the code you have found and find a laptop replacement seller, you will find plenty on amazon or on ebay, and order your screen replacement. Make sure you buy the right one.
