This is a guide on replacing an LCD and a touch screen on a
Lenovo IdeaaPad Flex 14 inch.
To begin turn off the laptop by holding the power slider on the side for 5 seconds and disconnect the power cord.
Flip the screen over into a tablet mode and place the laptop down on the keyboard.
Using a plastic pick tool separate the bottom screen cover.
Remove four phillips screws holding the bottom edge of the display assembly.
The display assembly is held in-place with two strips of double-sided adhesive, and there are two plastic pull tabs that should theoretically allow you to pull the glue out, by carefully stringing it along like stuck-on chewing gum from under the table. Unfortunately this official method almost never works on used devices because the adhesive hardens over time and becomes brittle.
Luckily the adhesive itself is very susceptible to heat, so we will use a heat gun, but you can use a typical hair dryer. Begin warming up the back cover, making sure that the surface of warm to the touch but not burning.
Insert a plastic pick into the edge and move it up to the top corner fo the display assembly to apply some tension on adhesive and continue heating the back cover. Grab a second plastic pick and insert it in the corner as you continue to separate the top edge.
Use the plastic picks as wedges while heating the adhesive. Separate the top edge and keep it wedged with picks. Continue heating the back cover making sure that heat is being evenly spread. Gently move both picks along two edges to the bottom of the display, and separate out the display assembly.
The two long and odd shaped strips of adhesive are left on the original LCD.
Next we will remove top edge hardware: microphones, camera and light sensors.
Using a plastic pick carefully extract the microphone board, then webcam board and the connectors board all together as one piece. Gently peel off the flex cable and set the whole garland away from the LCD.
Using a plastic pick lift the clear tape securing the video connector and using both hands disconnect the video connector from the LCD. Peel protective tape from the touchscreen connector and disconnect it.
At this point the new screen can be installed. Place the assembly at the bottom edge and reconnect the touch connector, secure it with tape. Align the video cable and using both hands plug it into the LCD and secure the clear tape.
CAUTION! It is very important not to force any connectors. As well you must not twist or slant the connector when plugging it in.
Place the auxiliary cable into the channel guides. Stretch the flex cable over the LCD and place the connector board into its spot on the display assembly. Align the securing tape to its respective spot. Replace the webcam assembly, then replace the final microphone board. Secure all tape and flex cables back to the LCD. Stretch the main flex cable taught from the connector board all the way down the LCD making sure the slack of the cable is at the bottom edge.
Your new display is likely to come with no adhesive. We offer standard double-sided tape for such repairs on our site. You would need to place new adhesive on the LCD and make sure to remove any old adhesive from the back cover before reinstalling the new screen.
Insert the top edge of the display assembly into the back cover, clip in the sides and the bottom corners. Place the display into tablet mode and using a super fine microfibre cloth apply pressure to the display along the edges to catch the adhesive.
Replace the four phillips screws. Replace the bottom plastic cover. Reconnect the power, turn on the laptop, and we're done!

This video helped a great deal. On mine, I found that the video connector had a clip that went around the bottom of the base of the connector opposite to where the cable attaches. I had to lift this clip before the cable would disconnect. Thank you for the help.

Does this also keep any touch functionality after the replacement? Looking at your website it also mentions a "touch digitizer", what is that and do I need to worry about that?
@avianaviator1570
@avianaviator1570 4 года назад
I'm looking at the same thing. I took my laptop apart to see if can find any part numbers to order a new screen, but it looks like the LCD and digitizer were manufactured together, because when I tried to separate them it all just shattered, and on the website they say they are two separate things :/

Hey man question ...so I have the flex 5 and on the inside at the bottom where all the cables are ...I think it's the digitizer there's two orange flat flex cables side by side.... there the only ones that have the little black latch to remove them.. Do they go into the screen on the other end? or is there another connector somewhere underneath the PCB? Because I accidentally cut one off so I need to replace this cable unless it goes into the screen on the other end it's impossible to fix correct? Thank you for your time!
@Laptopscreen
@Laptopscreen 2 года назад
That's bad news, the orange flex cables are attached to the digitizer at the factory using wizardry. You'd need a whole new digitizer to continue.

My original this laptop screen is 1366x768 TN panel and now its broke. Can i replace it with 1080p IPS panel? Is it compatible?
@Sucharek96
@Sucharek96 Год назад
I have a question: Flex 5 14 has been shipping with either TN or IPS panels, so since mine has a TN panel from the factory, is it possible to replace it with the IPS one that was present on the better versions?
@Laptopscreen
@Laptopscreen Год назад
Yes, TN can be replaced by IPS.

I don't need to replace the entire screen I just need to replace the diffuser sheets inside behind the screen is this possible by opening up the metal board or somehow without damaging the actual LCD so I can slide in some new diffuser sheets?? I already took out the white shiny paper but I think I might have to take the metal border off to get to the plastic sheets
@Laptopscreen
@Laptopscreen 2 года назад
Not sure why you'd need to replace those, water damage maybe? Its possible to replace them, they aren't glued, but you do have to take the whole LCD panel apart and that it usually done from the front. The diffuser sheets are extremely sensitive to fingerprints, heat and alignment. Its nearly impossible to reassemble them to look uniform like from the factory, so its recommended to keep them in their frame and not touch or lift them out. If you have a broken LCD of the same size it's probably best to only swap the LCD matrix, which is the first layer of the LCD panel from the front.

Thanks to your video, I was able to take it apart. I want to replace the damaged LCD. Can I replace the LCD panel only? Or should I replace it with a product with a touch screen that you sell?
@Laptopscreen
@Laptopscreen 2 года назад
Unfortunately the LCD is glued to the digitizer across its entire face using Optically Clear Adhesive. Special equipment is required to de-bond and re-bond an OCA assembly. Your best bet to replace your screen is to get a used assembly on eBay. We don't sell these because they are rare and not easily available.

The entire bezel and laptop screen popped off on my laptop. I figure that all I need to do is replace the double-sided sticky adhesive tape. Which brand would you recommend? Thanks!
@Laptopscreen
@Laptopscreen 3 года назад
The Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing company, founded in 1902, is the leader in adhesives. They are better known as the 3M brand.

Is there an upgrade for this LCD? I want/need more brightness as the original LCD is extremely dimmed, not worried about more definition.
@Laptopscreen
@Laptopscreen 2 года назад
Unfortunately no, or at-least not that easily. Because the display assembly is comprised of the digitizer, frame and the LCD you are limited to the LCD that comes in an assembly. And because the LCD is bonded to the digitizer with Optically Clear Adhesive there is no easy way to swap out just the LCD.

I had water spilled over the left part of the keyboard and the screen went out after the keyboard lights did. Will I need to get a whole new replacement screen or just the motherboard?
@Laptopscreen
@Laptopscreen 3 года назад
Screen is most likely fine. The LCD is unlikely to be damaged unless it came in direct contact with water. And even then the damage water causes to an LCD is mostly cosmetic staining visible on white backgrounds.

Hello I have a doubt . I use a modern LED laptop , is it possible to replace the LED backlight with CCFL 14 inch . : I personally feel comfortable with CCFL . . Thanku
@Laptopscreen
@Laptopscreen 3 года назад
It's not impossible, but it would require a lot of extra equipment. You'll need an active module to convert your eDP signal to LVDS, and a power supply for the CCFL inverter.

@@Laptopscreen Ok Thanks for replying . . I would like to customize the backlight WLED on my laptop. . My idea is to use a LED strip whose input is to be controlled from external power (isolated from laptop ) . . This way I hope to avoid PWM of LED strip ( I want to avoid switching of LED strip with constant DC current/voltage) . . Is it practically feasible. . Thanks
@Laptopscreen
@Laptopscreen 2 года назад
Yeah, thats much easier since your LCD already has a WLED strip inside and you can hook up to it independently. Its usually 4 channels, and you can drive each individually.
@naveenk6387
@naveenk6387 2 года назад
@@Laptopscreen Thanks man . . Another idea is that if I wish to replace the provided WLED strip with another one, I would have to disassemble the paper LCD panel entirely ( which would require bending the metal cover to take out LED strip ) and then reassembling it . . Is that possible ? I am not a hardware guy. .so any suggestions

You have to transfer two magnets from the inside top of the frame to the new frame. Sensors are in palmrest/keyboard, they are activated by two reciprocal magnets located at the top edge of the bezel (display assembly).

Nope, can't tell due to lack of resolution even in the original master files. It's an InnoLux panel N140...something. Besides, its a compound assembly, the LCD model isn't going to matter much.
