Introduction

Use this guide to replace the display assembly for your Acer Aspire 3 A315-24P-R7VH Laptop.

The display assembly includes the display, the display bezel and frame, the front camera, and wifi antenna.

This procedure requires removing the battery to disconnect it. Use care to avoid bending, twisting, or puncturing it—a charged lithium-ion battery can be very dangerous if accidentally punctured. If your battery looks puffy or swollen, take extra precautions.
