System76 Oryx Pro: How do you replace the display?

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 12:44:21 -0700

The question is in the title. System76 provides only limited repairs, like replacing the memory or replacing the thermal compound on the CPU and GPU. However, they don't provide detailed instructions for a display replacement or the display data (eDP) cable. For such repairs, their customer service claim the repairs are too difficult for the average repair person, and refer to sending the laptop back for display replacement.

I disagree with their claim. I already disassembled the laptop down to the lower bezel. The steps I took are (in order):

removed the bottom (case);
removed the battery;
disconnected the fan connectors;
removed the heatsink and fans assembly. This exposes the eDP and backlight connectors, and the access to the screen hinges;
release the hinges friction, then disconnect the top part of the hinges;
separate the hinge cover. (The hinge cover is kept in place by internal plastic clips. Using a plastic separation tool, like a plastic Jimmy or a blue opening tool), you can separate the two halves of the hinge cover, which also covers the eDP connector, the WI-Fi antennas, and the LCD backlight LEDs connector.

The issue now is the top bezel: it doesn't provide a clue about how it's mounted. The hinge cover is connected to the top bezel through a flexible material (tape? Plastic hinge? I don't know yet.)

Thus, my question: any ideas about how could the top bezel be attached?

If I manage to get to the display, I will make and post a complete guide.

Thank you for your consideration.

System76 Laptop: System 76 Pangolin 15 Charging Port Repair

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 22:51:14 -0700

While plugging in the charging cord for my System76 Pang15, the charging port came loose and became pushed inside the case. I was able to get it back out, and I glued it in place; however, now it will not charge when plugged in. I have tried multiple chords to no success. How may I go about fixing this?

System76 Laptop: System76 oryx pro: No start screen

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 17:04:43 -0700

Day before yesterday, I was using my laptop just fine. After I was done with it, I shut it down like normal. But this morning. When I tried to start it up. I pushed the power button, the light comes on. The light for prong symbol/ power comes on green at first. Then it goes to yellow blinking light. for a couple of time then solid yellow before the laptop shuts down. So today and yesterday I took out my ram, memory stick, and unplugged then re plugged everything, and the screen still doesn’t come on but there is a quite buzzing sound from my laptop during the whole start up and then shut itself off since day one(if that helps). Asked the team of system76 they are not helpful at this point, literally bought this a year, some change and no warranty, no help. Needing some help, please.
