Difficulty

Steps

Time Required

20 - 25 minutes

Introduction

The display is a crucial component of any end user device. Without it, we couldn't use it to serve us. Unfortunately, the display can have issues and it can get disconnected or break and stop working. Luckily, it is not too hard to replace it if needed. In this guide, you will need iFixit Precision Bit Driver, T5 Torx Screwdriver Bit(1.4 mm), Anti-Static Wrist Strap, iopener heat applicator, and a jimmy knife pick.

Tools

Step 1

Start by putting on your anti static wrist strap and connecting it to a stationary and stable object, like a desk.
This safety strap serves as a precaution to prevent any electrical static you might have on your body from transferring to the laptop's internal components and damaging the hardware.
Reminder to have this safety strap on you at all times during the process

Step 2

Use a T5 screwdriver to remove the two 7.62 mm screws circled in red at the bottom of the front of the display.

Step 3

Heat up the iopener and apply it to all 4 edges of the display
Be cautious when handling the iopener as the contents are hot and follow the instructions written on the product.
You might need to heat up the iopener multiple times to melt the glue holding the dsoplay in place

Step 4

Use the Jimmy pick knife to pry the display open all around.

Step 5

Finally, unplug the 2 connection points of the display from the motherboard.
The big port will have a silver latch that needs to be flipped up for the port to come out.
You can now replace the old display with the new one.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
