Models of laptops are different, but for all the same principle applies. If you successfully removed the plastic frame, then with the screen itself and the inverter, you will cope even faster.In this procedure, there can only be one difficulty - removing the matrix from the loops. But here there are loopholes that will help avoid the risk of damaging something:

1. Remove the screws that hold the screen. They should be located on the back.
2. Now remove the loops that fix the matrix.

Important! Do not make much effort when disassembling the matrix, otherwise - you risk incapacitating any component.

Most often, the train is held on a piece of tape, which is located on the back of the matrix. Gently pull the cable down to turn it off.

Important! Some models are equipped with special latches that do not allow it to “fall off”.

Now you need to dismantle the broken matrix: just unscrew the screws that hold it and remove it. Do not rush into the inverter cable.

Disconnect inverted cable

The vast majority of displays are equipped with an inverter cable, which is located directly under the screen. Especially often, this arrangement is relevant for older laptop models.

Important! The inverter board is a long circuit board to which a pink or black cable is connected. This is the inverter cable.

To remove it, you need to pull it a little. When assembling, you will definitely not be mistaken with the correct installation of the cable, since it is only possible to connect it with the correct side.
