Transcripts

hi welcome Simon here and hope you're

doing well in this video I'll be doing a

screen replacement and an HP laptop

okay let's go ahead and turn on the

computer

as you can see that the computer turns

on has a bit of a flicker pixelated

color and right now it's just pure white

it stays all white there's no other

display on it I hope you can see that

the angle is kind of grayish white Edge

so that means the LCD screen is bad and

I'll be replacing it with the new screen

here so let's go ahead and get started

with it

okay

first thing I like to do is to press and

hold a power button until it shuts off

okay once that is done the next step is

to go ahead and get yourself a metal

prying tool

and we need to pry open the bezel

so go ahead get underneath the LCD

screen

the bezel actually have the adhesive

tape on it

so they kind of glue together

so when you're trying to get in between

you might want to

kind of cut that adhesive tape as you

get in between the uh the basil

it's kind of hard to show it to you but

as you can see the little white stuff

that is the

the adhesive double-sided tape

let's see

there's going to be a lot more adhesive

tip at the bottom part of it

so what I'm trying to uh

get in between is the

there is the the LCD

I'm not sure if

zoom in a little bit for you so those

white stuff is the adhesive tape that is

taping down the bezel right

and then as I kind of go along it you

want to go not expose the LCD

come on Focus not expose the LCD board

you want to go

like on top of that black tape

or the the plastic

foreign

from this angle what you want to do is

just kind of

push back and then remove from that

silver plastic here so you just add

additional cover that covers up the uh

the plastic so you're gonna push it and

get it out

okay once you're done with the process

we should be able to remove the screen

but what happened to that adhesive tape

that is supposed to be pulled out

I don't see it

okay let's try to open up the uh

there's a screw here in the top right so

let's go ahead and remove that

yeah I figured that doesn't come off

okay let's see if this is the tape

which they might have put it all the way

on the wrong side of it you're supposed

to be on here

typically you're supposed to be have

like a little pulley tip here to pull

that adhesive tape so that the screen

can just come right off

it looks like they

put it on the other side of it at the

very end you can't even get get in

really okay so they actually put it on

the other side of it like way to the way

very closer to the right side of it

so this is the tape so there's nothing

to do with the screw so put the screw

back

and why would they do something like

that

you know on all models

that they have for a little Gap right

here that Gap is actually full

need to expose the tape

I'm gonna tape is exposed so that you

can easily put

and uh

people with no

way to put it so anyway

no big deal

so just keep pulling this

this double-sided adhesive tape

okay there's one on the right

here comes the left

see that little black stuff right there

I'm not sure if you can see it but

let me zoom in all the way here

so this one here

is actually a tape

that is holding the LCD screen so you

need to get like a tiny little tweezer

get in there

and I'm just turning in

okay

I'm gonna start pulling it out

you see how my hand is holding the

screen because

um what you don't want to do is when

you're pulling that

tape

and it gets not uh stuck with the screen

and when you pull it you might yank the

cable out all right so once you have

pulled the both side of the tape your

LCD screen should just

come right up

I'm going to tilt it towards yourself be

very careful with the cable

um there's another tape that you need to

peel so this is the one

peel backwards okay

and do not use the metal please do not

use metal

what you want to do is you're going to

flip that little clip right here with

the plastic prying tool or you can use

your fingernail to do it if you want

okay do not use the metal because the

computers do have the battery in it

and do not disconnect the battery so

what happened is that um

if you use the metal you might short the

motherboard okay

and then just slide the cable away from

your body so put it to that side

and you can just remove the entire

screen

if you're not sure where to buy the

screen from let's go ahead and check the

model here

it says b156

xtk02.0 what I'll do is I'll link them

down in the description below where you

can get them from either Amazon or Ebay

for this replacement screen

okay so that is the old screen and here

comes the new screen

let's go ahead and stick it in

okay Slide the cable back this is a 40

pin connector so slide it in

once you have slided in what you want to

do is uh push it down

okay push that little click clicker push

it back down and then tape it back

actually the computer Steals on wow I

did not shut down the computer I did not

know the computer was on

see you see how dangerous that was

we're gonna press and hold the power

button until the computer shuts off

there you go

all right the next step you definitely

need to have the uh double-sided tape

I'll be using this

this is a 5mm

meaning the five millimeter the width of

the other tape and I'll be tipping it

down

the right way which I feel like this is

the right way to do

see how that little get right there

you're supposed to have that

tape on that Gap

like such

so that the next person will replace the

screen

they know where to pull that tape from

that's what the

the thing is for

okay let me cut it off

do the same on this side so go ahead and

do that

okay once the double-sided tape is taped

one through the top you can just peel

this

um this thing off

and what you want to do is just flip the

screen

okay just flip the screen back on a

position

and then you should be holding it down

okay I'm just going to give it a little

press

and the next step is to slide this thing

back so I like to work from the bottom

part here first

careful

kind of get get it in there so kind of

push it down

okay

if you need to just kind of get a

plastic Prime to hide it

and push this one in

do not forget to peel this thing but I'm

just going to leave it like that

for now push it in

well maybe just peel it

[Applause]

make sure you align the front web camera

make sure that the circle is aligned in

the center

and then you're just going to press it

down let the clicker to click it back in
