Asus Chromebook C201 LCD Screen Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

35 minutes

Introduction

If your Chromebook is giving you a blank screen or messed up colors, then this guide will help you replace your screen. While following these steps, be sure to ground yourself. Static can short circuit your Chromebook, so be sure to either wear an anti-static wrist strap or work on a surface that does not generate static electricity, like wood tile.

Tools

Step 1

Flip the laptop upside down with the rear end of the computer away from you.

Step 2

Remove the two rear rubber feet by using one of the small, blue plastic spudgers.

The feet are self-adhesive and VERY sticky, I found that the jimmy worked better than the spudger.

Step 3

Use the J0 screwdriver to remove the eight 5mm black screws on the bottom of the laptop, which includes the two that were hidden under the rear rubber feet.

Step 4

Turn the laptop on its side. Use a small, blue opening tool to pry the keyboard cover and laptop apart. Begin from the top right, next to the power button, and slowly work your way around to the opposite side until the keyboard cover is detached.

It's unfortunately easy to accidentally press the power button, Guess how I found that out.... three times. :)

Step 5

Gently flip the keyboard cover away from the laptop. Rest it safely upside down so the cables are not strained and are easily accessible.

Step 6

Use the metal spudger to gently pry up the small tabs that are clamping down on the keyboard cables.

Step 7

Carefully pull the keyboard cables out of the connecting ports that are attached to the motherboard.

Step 8

Remove the keyboard cover and safely place it somewhere face down.

Step 9

Locate the LCD cable and its connector which is located in the upper left hand corner of the computer. Carefully flip up the tiny tab and safely remove the cable using precision tweezers.
