There is One thing that you should be aware of. When removing LCD/LED Screens, you really should remove all power sources IE: LI-ION Batteries as you can sometimes short out the replacement LCD Screens. Trust me, I have done this early in my long computer repair career. If there is power running through the computer (even if the computer is off), you can short out the screen when you insert the LCD ribbon cable on the LCD screen cable slot if you accidentally touch the metal connectors. The problem is that with this model, you can not EASILY remove the battery and would require a disassembly of the lid to get to the battery. Just a friendly caution. Thanks!
Esto es cierto, debe retirarse cualquier fuente de alimentacion y veo que en este video no se explica eso.This is true , you must withdraw any power supply and I see in this video is not explained that.
The best review for screen replacement with small details so someone could avoid mistakes. I would like to inform everybody that the aluminum foil (13:00 in video) was described as there due to some reason. The actual reason is to avoid touch the logic board accidentally which could kill the display due to static current. Also this works as a heat sync to distribute heat generated during operation. This is why all sensitive electric parts are sealed to avoid human touch. Professionals wear a metal brass when working with such parts.
So I'm here to say if I can do it from following the directions of this generous man, you can too. I have the exact model every step was exact so following directions was simple. My laptop had such a tiny scratch I didn't really think the issue was with the screen itself but when I connected my laptop with the HDMI cord to the TV I realized the laptop was fine. I ordered the screen; had it for couple weeks because I didn't think I could do it myself but I did it. You can too. Good luck! Thank you for this video!
Hi, first of all, keep posting, your videos are very informative. I have an ASUS VIVOBOOK 14" screen, and the screen is broken. I was wondering if I can change the screen of my ASUS for any other 14" laptop screen, eg. Samsung, HP, Dell, etc. Thanks a lot.
Thank you! Thank you! Just a note: You forgot to mention, when putting the new screen on, you have to remember to tighten the 3 hinge screws on each side that you loosened to access the side screws. Thanks again!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Just a suggestion for anyone else trying this for the first time... If you don't have a regular work surface and decide to do this on the floor... put down a light colored sheet first... those little screws jump out and dive into carpeting, then you'll find yourself at the local computer repair guy begging for spare screws! :-) jus' saying'!
Ah I see. I have a client I have to repair the screen on and I don't really have much of a guide to use. Shouldn't be too different than this one, right? I mean besides everything lol
If you have an older laptop you could have broken the CCFL lamp. Newer laptops have an LED screen. If you have 2 small hinges, then it has an LED backlight. If it has one long hinge that goes all the way across, then you have a CCFL backlight. I don't know if a CCFL can be replaced without replacing the screen. I also have trouble with my temper.
Is there anything I need to know about not touching certain parts of the laptop while it's open? I somehow messed up my webcam on a laptop I replaced the screen on a few years back by touching some part I shouldn't have. I don't want to do that again. I NEED my webcam for Skyping with my son stationed 15 hours away.
Congratulations for the instructive video :D, i have a simple question. What important details I have to consider when replacing a screen: . resolution .pin connectors -touch none touch . eDP or VLS What else....about the energy maybe? If I make a mistake selecting a wrong one, what is the worst that could happen to a Laptop?

This was of much help with my ASUS GL552VW, and I suposse it will also work with all ROG series. The procedure was the same with minor changes: (OF COURSE I USED THE MODEL OF SCREEN COMPATIBLE WITH GL552VW, NOT THE ONE ON THIS VIDEO) -The plastics that cover the hinges are now separate pieces, you can easily remove then before removing the bezel and put them back later, they attach by plastic tabs. -There are no screws on the side of the screen, so you dont have to remove the metal pieces that hold it, just unscrew the 4 screws that hold the screen, two on top, two on the bottom, and it will come off. -The small metal pieces in the screen where the screws go are part of the screen, the replacement screen will come with them, you don't need to remove them (you couldn't either).
I want to thank you. I have the D550MA-DS01 which is practically the same. Mine didn't have the foil or the foam block attached to the back of the screen, though - they were attached to the inside of the top cover. A top cover which is labeled X551M, just in case you were wondering how similar these things are. After hitting ice Christmas Eve and landing on my backpack (and therefore my laptop) I had to save some pennies and get a screen off eBay. Thanks to your awesome video, I swapped the screen in about 15 minutes using improvised tools and stuff. Only took that long because I dropped a screw.
SUPER EASY Shipment of the screen came very quickly. Well wrapped with bubble wrap to secure no sliding around the box. It came with tools and instructions which was a plus for me. You need plenty of light. Best time I did it in the morning. I had bottle caps to keep the screws together for each section of the laptop in one spot, so the screws doesn't mix up with other screws. In my opinion, that is to keep it organized. In overall the screen was crystal clear. Thank you for your service and Thank you for linking it to your videos. I am a very happy customer. 5 stars.
So I am worried I shorted out the laptop! I replaced the screen but now all I am getting is a high pitched sound when the battery is in or when the battery is out but computer is plugged in. ... help pls or at least confirm my worst fears.
My labtop is the same as that but everytime i try Turing it on, it just stays black and noting happens. so I'm wondering.. do you think my labtop screen/monitor is broken or cracked?
Did you plug it in first? Cause sometimes my computer will be like fully charged, but it wont turn on unless the charger is plugged in. Also, I think that if your screen was cracked completely, it would be showing a few weird colors. That's how it was for my sister's laptop when I broke it :D Wait maybe it's the battery-
Yes you may but it would still depend if they use the same type of screen. If you can provide both models, I can help you determine if you may swap them. Thank you
I dropped mine and it landed on the corner of the led screen and cracked the plastic. The little section of the plastic came off. Everything seems to be working ok except for the camera and microphone. There's a thin wire that runs up and along the screen. This wire is broke at the corner. Does anybody know if this leads to the camera and mic and can it be soldered and repaired? Would appreciate any help.
+Billy Boy -- If you can see that definitely "a wire" is broke, of course, soldering it back together would help. However, that's actually a cable with a few wires inside. 5:18 shows the cable routing around the upper left (looking at normally, user's left) corner to the cam/mic. Soldering a splice to small wire is a delicate job. If only one wire in the cable is broke, it's doable. Jump the wire first, and see if that repairs things.
+Nehmo Sergheyev Thank you for your reply. Luckily I purchased damage insurance when I bought the laptop and it was in effect.. The entire wire was broke. They repaired it and replaced the back cover with a new one. I had it back in a week. I couldn't have done the soldering on that tiny wire. The insurance was worth the price.
You pretty much broke at least 4 plastic hooks/standoffs/stands or however you want to call them by removing the bezel so forcefully. The corners of the bezel will never close shut again and it's gonna look and feel like crap. I can see the broken plastic pieces at 5:02. Nice job man.
+tougemaster || I only see one piece of plastic at that point in the video. The delicateness-roughness level of this job is debatable and the recommended level is hard to communicate to someone in any case. You need real caution when dealing with the electrical connectors, but if you're removing a don't-matter piece of plastic, you can tear it off. You actually can assess someone's skill level just by watching how and where they are careful. Ignorant people take precautions where they aren't needed. You must be careful if you don't know what you are doing. In the way he does the balance, Screen Surgeons has a decent respect for possible damage. I'd go faster, myself, but that's partially my philosophy intruding. You shouldn't waste precious moments of limited life just to forestall possible criticism of trite appearances.
+TomDufall || I've done screen replacements while the machine was displaying a page. When you make the connection, the screen lights up and you know the job will be a success. As a general rule, disconnect the power before you do repairs, but it's not as critical as people would have you believe. In this case, we're only dealing with a few volts. The possible spark is unlikely to harm the connector.
I've recieved two screens now since trying to replace my cracked screen and both screens light up well when I plug them in but neither displays anything other than a dark screen lit up
