Introduction

If the LCD swivel stops turning, or is broken by the user, this guide will help you replace it. Special care should be taken when disconnecting the LCD connector from the motherboard.

    • Take the LCD out of its place to expose the Phillips #PH00 screws.

    • Remove the two 2.5 mm Phillips #PH00 black screws on both sides of the LCD screen.

    • Next remove the two 3 mm Phillips #PH00 black screws near both sides of the base where the screen swivels.

    The screws (in orange) near the swivel base are shorter, 2.5mm. Also do not remove the screws (in red) on either side of the screen, it is unnecessary for removing the rear cover. See my comment on the next step.

    • Using a plastic opening tool, carefully pry off the back cover of the LCD.

    Absolutely unnecessary for removing the rear cover. Instead, remove the small plastic piece at the swivel base that was held by two 2.5mm screws (see previous step) and continue with the guide.
