Introduction
When considering a screen replacement it is important to ensure that it is not a connection issue first. Once you determine that you have a tight fitting connection, if the display issues persist then you will need to replace the screen. Fortunately, this is a straight forward process with no special requirements or hazards.

This was very helpful, I broke the screen to my chromebook whilst shutting the lid and the screen cracked. I didn’t want to spend the money on a new screen so I decided to take the whole top half off the chomebook and basically make a chromebox.

There are threaded nuts underneath the two screw holes located in the center of the computer (white caps cover them). When I removed the screws, the two nuts became loose and I found them in the pan after I took the battery out. I could not reattach these screws upon reassembly because there were no threads they could screw into, so I ended up with two screws and two nuts left over after completion. Are you sure it is really necessary to remove these two center screws?
