12 Steps for a Samsung Laptop Screen Repair

1. Before you begin your repair, power off your laptop and remove any charging cords or connected devices.
2. Use an opening tool, like a pick, to pry the screen away from the laptop’s back cover. Note: Insert the pick over the rubber lining rather than underneath it to prevent further damage.
3. If your laptop model has a touchscreen, locate the wire connecting the laptop’s joint to the bottom of the laptop.
4. Use a pair of tweezers to grasp the wire and carefully pull it away.
5. Locate the two 3.7 mm screws on the top of the monitor and unscrew them.
6. Place the screws somewhere nearby and remove the frame.
7. Exposing the entire screen, locate the six 3.7 mm screws surrounding the screen.
8. Unscrew the screws and place them nearby.
9. Pull the screen downward and locate the tape covering the video connection at the bottom of the laptop.
10. Gently peel back the tape and remove the video cables that connect to the screen. Note: If you’re having difficulty removing the cables, try using a pair of tweezers for an easier grip.
11. The old screen should be free now and ready for complete removal.
12. Locate your new screen and follow these steps in reverse to reassemble your Samsung laptop.
