Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide will show you how to replace the touch screen on the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 1838.
The touch screen is what allows the users to see images and interact with them with the usage of their fingertips. In the case that these attributes are compromised, such as if the screen is cracked or stopped displaying, replacement of the screen may be needed.
If replacing a glass cracked screen, be cautious of little shards of glass that may be harmful to your body. You can place tape over the screen to make sure that all the pieces of glass are secure.
Before using this guide to aid with the replacement of the screen, make sure that device is unplugged and powered off.
