Logitech z-5500 LCD Screen Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This rather exceptional speaker kit has very few problems, but sometimes the control screen no longer has a backlight or does not work very well.

The goal here is to replace it. Apart from the soldering part, it is a relatively simple operation.

I added references to compatible screens in the part description; I was able to buy mine on aliexpress.com.

      • Remove the stand by unscrewing the two screws with a #3 Hexagon driver.

      • Remove the volume button on the front of the pod. It may be a little difficult to pull off because it is lightly glued.

      • Separate the two sides by removing the two pieces (black and gray). They are clipped in 3 different places.

      • Be careful not to use too much force (horizontally), as some legs can be quite fragile, like that of the power button.

      • Remove the 4 screws with a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

      • It will be necessary to desolder all the wires in the ribbon cable more or less at the same time. You can also simply cut the end of the ribbon cable and strip the individual wires.

      • Note how the wires are soldered, it's neat.

      • Clean the wires so that they are not too thick. (we can do much better than in the photo!)

      • To ensure a good connection between the wires and the circuit board, treat the copper pads with flux first, then tin them with a light coating of solder. Apply the solder sparingly so you don't accidentally fill the hole.

      • Position the wires in the holes, and bend them upwards to make soldering a little easier.

      • My soldering is quite disgusting, but there is no contact between the wires, that's the main thing! Check yours carefully!

      • Take this opportunity to clean the dust and the inside of the screen glass! ;)

Tuto très bien fait !

Très facile à réaliser en sachant qu’il n’y a pas de mauvaise surprise de fixations ou câbles collés. Merci !!!

Super le tuto, merci beaucoup.

Je viens d'effectuer la réparation facilement, tout est fonctionnel.

La seule chose, c'est la disponibilité de l'écran... difficile d'en trouver, j'ai pris celui sur AliExpress à environ 30€.
