Now, I am telling you which tools are important for replacing laptop screen.

Table or other flat working area: You'll need a flat working table to do this work. This may be your dining-room table or desk.

Buy Flat Table

Small-head magnetic Screwdriver: Not small like a mini screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit, but I'd say between taht size and a mid-sized screwdriver would work. If you don't have a magnetic-head screwdriver, try to find a magnet big enough to magnetize the driver head. This helps the screws stick to the head, making it much easier to remove and replace the screws.

Plastic putty knife or other thin object: This is optional to aid in prying apart the screen bezel from the case. Personally, my finger nails usually do the trick. If you do use another object, ensure it's thin enough but not so sharp that it will leave scrapes or other evidence of prying.

Small bowl or other container: This is for stashing the small screws and keeping them safe from curious cats and children.

• Ensure the laptop is unplugged from the AC Adapter. Remove the laptop battery as well.
• Now, start prying the screen bezel away from the back side of the screen case. Work a fingernail or other thin, prying object into the crack around the outside of the screen. The bezel is usually secured to the back case with plastic snaps, So give it some force while prying-but not too brutish. You'll hear the unsnapping of the fasteners when prying.
• Once you've unsnapped the screen bezel, it may or may not be easy to remove. If not, it's likely stuck around the screen hinges. Moving the screen position up or down, with some gentle force if necessary, should free it fully.
• Onece the bezel is fully removed, you'll find the LCD secured to a metal trim frame on the left and right sides. Remove four screws, two on each side, on the top and bottom. Now you should be able to lift the LCD slightly away from the back screen case. Most laptops have three screws on each side. Some smaller laptop have no screw.
• Now, Disconnect the video cable from the back of the LCD. Though the laptop I am showing here has the connector on the very bottom, most laptops have the connector near the center. If so, keep in mind that the portion of the cable running down the screen is usually stuck on the back of the screen with some mild adhesive. Just gently pull the cables away from the screen. You usually must remove tape that's securing the video connector to the back of the screen as well. When you get to the screen as well. When you get to the point of actually pulling the viseo cable out of the screen connector, it should unplug with little force.
• Once you've fully removed the broken LCD, simply place the new one face-down like you did the old one.Reattach the video cable to the connector and place the cables and any tape just like they were for the old one.
• Set the new screen up in the side trim frame pieces, then re-secure it like the old one was, usually two-screws in each side of the trim frame pieces to secure it to the back screen case.
• When you get to the point of putting the bezel back on, just line it up and push the bezel back into the snaps of the rear screen-case.
