Laptop Screens

[Migmac]

Your house insurance might cover the damage to the laptop.

Ours did, we got a new laptop instead of a repair.

I have a small CODA Spirit laptop and the screen went on it. I couldn't find how to remove the screen but luckily I found a complete lid including screen on eBay and made an offer. I got it for £30 and it took about 10 minutes to replace it.

I did the same and ended up with one a couple of generations newer as they couldn't replace 'like for like'.

Most of what I do is under warrenty so direct from manufacturer or suppliers i dont get involved in that , but I ask my friend and he has bought a few screens from that site with no issues . He runs a small PC repair shop and if there was a reliability issue people would be back like a shot. He said Ebay is a good source too there are some big laptop breakers on there most have great feedback and they are all tested

all of mine come from ebay new copy ones and original graded where they scraped the laptop for what ever reason they have all be good

ive not done 100s but a fair few ive not noticed much from the cheap screens to the genuine apart from the viewing angle and lets face it when using a laptop you sit in frount of it so viewing from the side rarely happens

My ThinkPad screen died, just out of warranty

Local shop did it, despite being an odd fellow it was quick and reasonably priced, was a few years ago, a 17" 1080 screen

Thinkpads are one of the easier ones to work on. I put a new display in #2 daughter's one, after she slammed the lid shut on top of a USB stick. And then tried to blame it on the cat.

I prefer that type of screen anyway especially when Im surfing at work !

Acer told me to use Laptronics/Genius parts as they are their official repairer. Their phones dont answer

Also gave me a part number, KL.15605.084 and told me to get it from here

Out of stock.

The laptop-lcd-screens site are also uncontactable and state they ship so many screens, that they dont know what they are sending out...

Any better options?

@jack-daniels Thank you, the video you sent was a great help! It may help others, so:

First unplugged the battery connector.
Plastics came off easily. I noticed no pull tabs at the top but what looked like pull tabs at the bottom of the screen unit - slightly more challenging with the hinge/body in the way. These are supposed to be pulled outwards, not up.
The right one I walked out with my fingers, but took a while.
The second one I wrapped around a screwdriver and rotated it out, but only a third before it snapped on me. Disaster! No way to get hold of it again and very well stuck i was wanting the screen to remain partly usable just incase I cant get a suitable replacement.

I then chose to use some fine string, dangled it down the gap (careful of wire) and used it to cheesewire through the rubber strip.

They've got that other part number on the same site.

They both seem to be the same. Very confusing

I think KL.15605.084 is Acers part number, B156HAN02.1 is AU's number. Seems there are many compatable parts.

normaly there are some have slight differances matt screen glossy then theres the resolution differances (normaly nothing but refresh mostly)

unless your using for gaming or in low light strong sun light prob wont make much differance

Thanks all for the help and advice. I've had the new screen (from accupart ebay) for a week and thought I should get it fitted, so that 3d printing can be resumed!

All went quite smoothely. Quality is good, matt screen and good viewing angle. The only thing I would say is I dont think it goes as bright as the original, but I havent yet compared (we have another of the same laptop).

its up and running and useable if it hapens to a phone, laptop etc if it can be used after and the cost is not that high if you get to that point its a WIN

any thing else after the fact is not worth knowning about id not even compair it or that would wind me up as well
