Asus Chromebook C202SA-YS02 Display Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

35 minutes

Introduction

The display includes the entire "top half" of the laptop. If you only need to replace the screen or the bezel, please use those specific guides. If you have structural damage in the display, this guide is for you.

Tools

Step 1

Turn the device over so the bottom is facing up.
Remove the ten Phillips #1 8.0 mm screws.

Step 2

Carefully use the plastic opening tool to pry the palm rest apart from the bottom cover. Start from one spot and systematically work your way around until the whole palm rest is detached.

Step 3

Disconnect the two cables that run from the keyboard to the motherboard and from the touch pad to the motherboard.
You may have to use a spudger to lift open the respective latches.

Step 4

Using a flat blade, remove the two screw covers on the front of the bezel. They are attached by adhesive, so you may have to dig at it a little bit.

Step 5

Unscrew and remove the two Phillips #1 4.5 mm screws that are now visible.

Step 6

Using the plastic opening tool, carefully pry off the bezel. It will come off entirely, so be careful not to break it.

Step 7

Unscrew and remove the four screws holding the screen in place.

Step 8

Fold down screen and remove the screen connector band. You may have to use a small flat blade or a spudger, since the latch is very small.

Any tips for getting that tape off? There's some clear plastic tape on the connector with some wickedly strong adhesive. From the black plastic tape that's peeled back a bit on the image, I'm guessing that you also had to peel that off as it goes over top of this, the connector and the nylon or whatever fabric below the connector. I realize that black stuff is just more tape, but still want to avoid making more of a mess than necessary.

I found that working from the side carefully across the tape until it was clear of the black tape underneath worked out ok. Once you're past the edge of the black tape all the way across, it gets easier. Just work carefully until the connector is exposed. I left it from there and didn't try to remove it from the nylon sheath on the display cable, then just smoothed it back down as best as possible once reconnected.

Step 9

Remove both Phillips #1 4.5 mm screws from the daughterboard.

Step 10

Gently remove the thin band from the daughterboard. You may have to use a thin blade or spudger to lift the silver clip to release the band.

Step 11

Unscrew the one Phillips #1 3.5 mm screw located near the middle of the device.

Step 12

Remove the the storage chip from the motherboard. It should slide right out.

Step 13

Remove the four black and 1 gold (for a total of five) Phillips #1 3.0 mm screws from the display support. There are two screws on the right side and three on the left.

Step 14

Remove the connecting band from the motherboard. You may have to peel back some tape to be able to access the latch. A small thin blade or spudger might be useful to manipulate the small latch.
You can now remove the display. You may have to use the plastic opening tool to hold the motherboard up while you slide out the display.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Thank you for this guide. My daughter dropped her Chromebook last week and the display stopped working. I was able to fix it by reconnecting the screen cable to the mainboard.
