Introduction

The screen to a device may break due to an accident or suddenly stop to function. If the rest of the laptop is fine and is able to function, the screen can be replaced to restore the laptop to working order. During the replacing process, try to avoid touching any 'do not touch' area's of the replacement screen. This may damage the new screen and another replacement may be needed if so.
