I went to Staple and Bestbuy and tried to figure out why, no answers, and the replacement was too expensive!
I searched the web and found this website is selling brand-new OEM laptop screens: www.LaptopScreen.com, it is only about $85, including shipping. It will take me a fortune to take it back to the manufacturer or fix in store. I went to staple and bestbuy, it will cost me $400-$500.
The website is easy to locate the model of screen for various brands, and the shipment is so fast, it says it will arrive on 11/29, but it arrived two days earlier on 11/27. I ordered it on Saturday of the Thanksgiving weekend, and it arrived on Tuesday. The website also provides video tutorials to help you replace the old screen, in fact, it was very easy and took me only 5 minutes to replace. It looks very new and I'm using it now!
I'd like to share the replacing process, it is fun:
Tools needed: a sharp knife and a small cross screw driver.
Step 1: Remove your battery, and then use the knife to lift the screw cover (red box in the pic) on the both bottom sides of screen cover, then use the screw driver to remove the two screws exposed, put them in a separate place (other screws are different, don't put them together). Then gently pry off the LCD bezel with your fingers and then put it away.
Step 2: now it looks like the pic below, remove the four screws (red box in the pic) on the four corners of the frame, put them away separately.
Step 3: use the knife to lift the old screen gently, turn it back, remove the sticker over the cable connector, and then pull off the connecter.
Step 4: connect the connector to the new screen, put back the sticker, and then put back the screen in the frame.
Step 5. replace the screws, put back the screen cover and last two screws.
Step 6: put back the battery, and turn it on!
I cannot believe that Staple or Bestbuy will charge you $400 for this easy work!!
