Cracked Screen I wish to replace the cracked screen but all video help says that there are screws to remove to lift the bezel from the screen. I've checked VERY carefully and there are NO screws or plastic covers. The screen bezel seems integral with the hinges but the outer cover feels like it might simply unsnap off leaving all the electronics fastened to the screen and/or bezel. I'm reluctant to use force without further information. Thank you.

Uh! Me and my mouth! Lol!

Naturally a Netbook I have not dealt with yet.
HOWEVER, all is not lost...........................

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acer-ASPIRE-ONE-753-11-6-Laptop-SandyBridge-Arrandale-core-Core-i3-i5-Eqiv-/300801222117?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item46092665e5

I'm looking at the video. (Which hurts my eyes. HOLD the camera still! lol!)
I see. No screw covers, no screws, for the LCD Panel Bezel.

This means the LCD Panel Bezel does indeed just 'pop off', AND yes, the Hinge Covers are an integral part of the LCD Panel Bezel.

This means all power needs to be removed, (AC adapter {Charger}, and Battery), Switch Cover removed, Keyboard removed, and Top Cover removed (Palm Rest Cover), then the LCD Panel Bezel can carefully be 'popped off'.

The LCD Panel Cover, (Display Cover. I am adding Acer nomenclature as we go), has Latches around it's inside perimeter.
The LCD Panel Bezel has matching Tabs.

The Tabs snap into the Latches.
NO 'circuitry' attached TO the LCD Panel bezel itself, EXCEPT the wires going to the webcam, to my belief.
Watch when removing LCD Panel Bezel.

Have to take off Switch Cover (Plastic rectangular cover above the Keyboard, and below the LCD screen), in order to remove the Keyboard.
Keyboard removed to remove the Top Cover.
Top Cover removed so the Hinge Covers will come out, with the LCD Panel Bezel.

Look down in the Battery Compartment. Do you see Philips head screws that look like they would go up into the Switch Cover?
With no exact information accessible I have to go with rudimentary procedures used in various laptop models.

May be two to three screws. One in the middle, one on each side of it.
It also may be just the style of Switch Cover that pops off.
I do not see any indicator LED's, and the Power On button is not placed in the Switch Cover, so there SHOULD not be any wires attached to the Switch Cover to be concerned about.

There may be screws on the bottom of the laptop for the Keyboard. Usually these are marked by a KB, or Keyboard, or Keyboard symbol, if so.
If there are no screws holding the Keyboard on top, look for small thin rectangular latches you depress, above the top edge of the Keyboard.
Number varies, but one example using 3 latches would be;
One above in-between the F2 and F3 keys, F7 and F8 keys, and PrtSc/Insert keys.

6 in this pictorial example,

http://www.insidemylaptop.com/how-to-disassemble-acer-aspire-5741-5741g-laptop/

View photos in Steps 8, 9, and 10.

A NOTE about the Keyboard Cable, and the matching motherboard connector:

The Keyboard Cable STAYS attached to the Keyboard.
It disconnects from the motherboard connector.
There is NO connector, or plug on the end of the Keyboard Cable.
The Keyboard Cable is a FFC. Flat Flex Cable.
One example of a FFC,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flat-Flex-Cable.jpg

The Keyboard Cable MUST be reinstalled in the same direction, as it was originally. For this reason you may wish to make a mark (Sharpee), on one side of the cable, and a matching mark on the same side of the motherboard connector.

The motherboard connector is a type of ZIF connector.
Zero Insertion Force.
It is composed of TWO parts, but does NOT come completely apart!

The Bottom part is a large rectangle block, and is Stationary on the motherboard. This is the BODY.
The upper smaller rectangular part is the Locking Bar.

The Locking Bar styles used presently, are the Slide Type, as shown in the above link, (Steps 10, 111, and 12), and the Flip Up style.

1) Locked; http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-L645D-L640D/big/laptop-disassembly-13.jpg

2) Unlocked; http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-L645D-L640D/big/laptop-disassembly-14.jpg

IF, the Locking Bar is broken, or the Body, this means -
MOTHERBOARD REPLACEMENT, and why I am being so detailed.

The thumbnails are used to ease the Sliding Type up towards the LCD screen.
Distance is approximately 2mm, or stated as a little larger than 1/16th of an Inch.
About the width of this capital letter -> O

Harddrive, Ram Memory module/s, optical drive, (May be screws to remove from Base Enclosure to Top Panel located at outside edge, that optical drive covered when installed), are removed.

This is to help protect these items from possible Static shock damage, and to access screws that cannot be accessed without their removal.

ALL screws are removed from the bottom of the laptop. Look for hidden screws down in the Ram Memory compartment, harddrive compartment, etc.
The Top Cover also has Latches, that snap into Tabs of the Base Enclosure.
The Top Cover is 'popped off' also.


To conclude;

ALL power removed, Switch Cover removed, Keyboard removed, and Top Cover. (Palm Rest Cover)
Then watching your fingertips on the cracked LCD screen, the inside edge of the LCD Panel Bezel is flexed up a little in the top right, or top left side.
(Away from the webcam)

Fingers are used to slide under the bezel, and keep popping the Latch/Tab/s loose.
(If you do not have computer gloves, you may wish to cut cardboard from a cereal box, that just fits inside the LCD screen opening, in the LCD Panel Bezel.
Thin cardboard helps protect your fingertips from cracked LCD screen)

Hope I have helped answer your question, sorry the info is so generic.
Wish I had a Service Manual available, or more information.

For additional questions please post in a Comment.

Regards,
joecoolvette

MY Proscan plt8990-k has a cracked screen. Where can I get a replacement?
There are many online stores that have replacement screens. It is a rather complicated job since every part of the TV has to be removed to get at the screws that hold it in the bezel. Do a search for TV screen replacements and you'll have many to choose from.

X44h split screen
Do you mean cracked screen?

If so to replace it:
take off the two screw caps on the bottom corners of the screen bezel and take out the screws. Take the bezel off by pulling it away from the inside around the border of the screen, careful not to snap it.
Once that is removed you can pull away the back cover.
check the code on the back of the LCD screen and order a replacement of the same model.
Unscrew the screws at the sides of the screen and disconnect the ribbon very carefully not to tear it or you'll have to pay to replace that also.
Search youtube for videos on replacing laptop LCD's so you have a clear mental image of how to go about this prior to the attempt if it's something you have never done before

Broken laptop screen
There is nothing more frustrating than a broken laptop screen. Whether you have dropped your laptop or stepped on it,once the screen is cracked it has to be replaced. Having the screen repaired may cost you almost as much as a new laptop. Purchasing a new screen from the manufacturer can also be expensive. Taking the time to look online at computer message boards or resellers can help you to find a reasonably priced screen. By following a few easy steps, you can replace your cracked screen and have a functioning laptop in an afternoon.

Determine what model laptop screen will fit your laptop. Ordering a screen directly from the manufacturer can be almost as expensive as buying a new laptop. Look at online computer message boards, auction sites and retailers to find less expensive options. Disconnect any power source, including the battery pack, from your laptop before you begin. Locate and remove the four to six screws that hold the bezel, or plastic frame cover, in place. The screws sometimes have small plastic or rubber covers over them. Pull the plastic bezel away from the screen cautiously, working around the edge. Some bezels snap in and out of place. A small flat-head screwdriver may be helpful in prying the edge of the bezel away from the screen. Pull the screen forward gently. You will find two main wires behind it. The ribbon-like wire, or video cable, is usually taped in place. Remove the tape and disconnect the video cable from your broken screen. Remove the broken screen from its metal frame. Connect the new screen to the video cable and pop it into the metal frame. Replace the tape, plastic frame and screws. Power up your computer and test your new screen. Hope this helps.

Gateway TabletM280e screen broken. What is needed to replace and how to replace it.
Assuming the screen is physically cracked, you need to obtain a new screen, remove the screen bezel by popping off the rubber caps and undoing the screws under them. The screen is fixed into position by two rails with small screws holding it into place. Remove these and the screen will be freed.
Disconnect the VGA cable and the smaller two wire plug that connects the inverter to the screen, replace the new screen and re assemble

How do I remove the bezel from my hp l1955 monitor
There usually screws hidden behind stick-on plastic covers on the front and or edges of the screen. Use a sharp point to lift off these covers to reveal the screws.
The bezel will also have plastic catches/clips that secures the bezel to the lid as well as double sided tape. Slip a thin blade between the glass screen and bezel and gently lift the bezel free. Start at a corner and gradually work along each side.
Be careful not the apply too much pressure on the glass (it is easily cracked) and be careful not to scratch the screen.

Notebook with a cracked monitor
Not to sound argumentative, but it's not a useless paperweight yet. You can still connect an external monitor, and toggle over to it.

(Connect a VGA monitor, to the VGA connector on the back of the laptop, turn the VGA monitor on. Hold the Fn key down, tap the key that has the Monitor icon on it)

You can buy a replacement LCD screen online. BE SURE you get the Correct one.
(16:9 ratio. 1920 x 1080 )

To remove the LCD screen:

1.Remove the AC adapter, (Charger), if plugged in.
Remove the Battery. There must be No electrical power source/s!

2.Get the proper tools.
A.I use an X-Acto knife, and Philips head screwdriver.
B.A soft, lint-free cloth to cover the keyboard, and palm rest area. Helps to keep any accidental damage to this/these areas.
C.A multi-compartment container

3.Open the laptop, LCD screen in it's normal user position.

The first thing to remove will be Screw Head Covers.
There are at least 4, if not 6 screws, that hold the Bezel to the Top Cover.
The Bezel is the thumb width frame, that goes around the LCD screen facing you.

Look around the Bezel for the screw covers. They normally will be the same color as the Bezel. Some are hard plastic, some are a rubbery compound.

I use an X-Acto knife, to pop these covers off. Use CAUTION of course, as the knife is very sharp. I have also used a No.2 Jewelers screwdriver, in lieu of the X-Acto knife. Depends on the type of screw cover. (Soft rubbery covers I use the Jewelers screwdriver)

There are usually 4 screws across the top, and 1 in each bottom corner. This varies so look close.
When removing the screw covers be careful. They'll jump right off the table! Put them in the multi-compartment container.

Remove the screws. Put them in the container.
Take your fingers, and work along the inside edge of the Bezel. You are separating the Bezel from the LCD screen, with the inside edge. The Bezel clips into the Top Cover, and will make a Pop, Pop, Pop sound as you go along, and remove it.

After the Bezel has come loose all the way around, you may have to shift it to one side, to clear the cover latch at the top. Lay the Bezel aside.

Looking at the LCD Screen you will see a metal bracket that goes around it, and is screwed to the Top Cover. Remove all the Philips head screws going around the frame.

Carefully lift the LCD screen out of the Top Cover. You of course, are not trying to save the screen, but there are small cables connecting the screen to the body of the laptop.
With the LCD screen up a bit, you can lay it over a little, and have more room to access those connectors.

Designs differ in cable connections. There may only be 1 signal cable, and 1 power cable, and 1 wireless antenna cable, or there may be more.

If you have the new LCD screen, observe the way it's connectors are shaped. Compare them to what you see on the laptop's LCD screen. The connector's are a Male and Female connector. Looking at the new one, you can see where the two connectors come apart. This way you know what to separate.

The connectors are different sizes, so don't worry about marking them. You can of course if you wish.

The metal frame of the old LCD screen needs to come off, so it can be mounted to the new one. There are tiny Philips head screws usually, that are on both sides of the LCD screen. Look close as only certain ones need to come out, to remove the metal frame.

Reverse your steps to install the new LCD screen.

(BE SURE to connect all cables before you reinstall!

There may be an antenna cable that is mounted in the LCD screen area, and comes out of the body of the laptop. This is the Wireless Antenna I referred to above)

Removing the LCD from a Compaq CQ60-215DX
I have a CQ60-220US HP Compaq and access to the LCD screen was different than others I have disassembled and replaced the display. The bezel is snapped on, the lid does not lay back flat to access the two hinge screws, but there are 2 screws with rubber covers down by the hinges, not all the way around.

I used a right angle phillips screw driver and was able to remove the bottom screws, popped off the bezel the remainder of the way around the screen, it is different, but don't be fooled there are a few screws just not the amount you might be used to, and then gaining access to one of the hinge screws on each side can be an issue as the lid did not lay back flat, but with a good right angle screw driver you can get it done, I did. I am not sure if the proper method is to not just remove the entire top cover and hinges, but the right angle screw driver and finding that this model had only a couple bezel screws made it much easier to tackle.

Screen Replacement
ok guys...i have had the same prob and it is now solved...finally...and what an *** about way to build a computer!
The bezel that covers the on and off switch is a snap in piece (it also screws in from underneath)tand you wedge a guitar pick under it and lift and it will pop out. Then you should be able to see the screws that hold the hinges to the main frame, there are two of the screws for each hinge...BRAD justanswer.com)

The screen bezel has 5 screws on the base..3 are acessible from here, 2 are not...These 2 are in the corner and blocked by the hinge...the hinge therefore must be taken apart via 4 screws (2 then you will see 2 more) on the circuitry board...and if you can get this far...the rest is straight forward

Lcd screen cracked
You can get a new screen from www.lcdpart.com
You can get dismantling info from them.

Basically you need to remove screws from the lid and bezel to reveal the LCD screen mounting screws. You also need to remove part of the plastic case next to the bottom of the screen, this will reveal the video cable conector etc.
If the top plastic case is in one piece, you need to remove this and possibly the keyboard to reveal the video cable connector.
