Introduction
If your Asus Eee PC 900 LCD display screen is damaged, experiencing pixel issues, or is dim in a bright background, use this guide to replace your display screen.
Prior to making this repair, it is important to confirm that the replacement itself is necessary. Check to make sure that no other solutions are viable. For problems such as pixel issues, inverter issues, or not being able to see color, a full replacement may be necessary.
This guide requires you to remove the battery, keyboard, top cover, and LCD display screen from your Asus Eee PC 900. Some steps require the use of a spudger.
Before beginning, make sure to completely power down the device and disconnect from any external power source.
-
-
Identify the three metal tabs holding down the laptop's keyboard.
-
Using a spudger, depress each metal tab to remove the keyboard.
-
-
-
Clips hold the bottom portion of the keyboard to the laptop. Gently lift the upper portion of the keyboard and then move the entire keyboard towards the computer's screen until the ribbon cable is visible.
-
-
-
Using a spudger, gently push the two black pins holding the ribbon cable towards the computer's screen.
-
Slide the keyboard's ribbon cable from the connector.
-
-
-
Flip the laptop back over and identify the touchpad ribbon.
-
Unlock the tan locking pin from the black connector by pushing the pin to the right with a spudger.
-
-
-
Use a plastic opening tool to gently detach the top cover from the laptop's base. See the next step for removing the cover.
-
-
-
Gently pry off the six rubber covers around the outside of the screen using a two mm flat head screwdriver.
-
Remove the six 4.76 mm Phillips #0 screws underneath each cover.
-
-
-
Using a plastic opening tool, carefully detach the casing around the screen cover.
-
Remove the screen cover.
-
-
-
Remove the four 4.76mm Phillips #0 screws located on the corners of the screen.
-
Lift out the display screen.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Another PERFECT iFixIt guide!
Had to replace the screen in one of these little beauties, and this walk-through worked like all iFixIt tutorials: Flawlessly.
Kudos Mr. Barker!

Perfect guide, thank you.
a (minor good, as liion batteries tend to degrade, esp in alltimeuse in bay: warm, max voltage=minimumlifespan) solution is:
try to revive the no more recognized one! first!!
either at the poles: need three connections: two at the ends, one in the middle like 1(+ -)-2-(+-)3
(need a hole through the casing/housing… (each of the two packs must be over 3.0volts: you can easily put a good charged liion from outside for a few moments to get a bit charge in to rise each pack over the 3.0 threshold that prevents pack of being recocknized as ok…)
or need a bridge at the connector to see realbatterypackvoltage there… check it out
good luck, thomas@biopilze.de

addendum:
if too old, too long lying at voltages under 3v… well possible that the liions wont keep the voltage, then at least one of two packs: (each two parallel 18650 liions) are gone -in that case you could try to dissassemble casing and replace a /or both pack/s, but is rather difficult: housing is a: well glued, try to open with sharpe knive but take extreme care not to destroy or short sircuit internals!!!!!! and b: is brittle and not much space for adding solder etc… -alltogether a thorny way…
you could just add external batteries at these poles, too… -if the originalones have just a high impedence/resistance, but do NOT leak (low impedence/resistance), otherwise constant energy-loss + heating… : problem: eeepc checks voltage-drift and regulates power-up/booster… if you added to much more voltage , as a flyby addendum: it rekocknizeses overload and shuts down imediately: so try to add batteries with similar voltage, possibly via a smal resisor first that buffers drain… give feedback to me please!

>>…or need a bridge at the connector to see realbatterypackvoltage there… check it out
the connector has generally spoken: plus, minus, switch, thermal-control… some: ie2, too…
did that for a eeeepc900, external charge just at the connector, worked fine, now got eeepc900a, is different: one pin less, have to find out myself first… today did no more find any schematics in the web yet -any suggestions folks?
