Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop Screen Replacement Guide

Hi, I’m Simon. Today, I’m going to walk you through a screen replacement for the Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop. This is especially for those experiencing display issues due to damage, like in my case, where the screen was hit hard, causing pixelation and display failure.

Introduction

• Laptop Model: Acer Nitro 5 (Model Number: N20C1).
• Issue: Damaged screen with pixelated display.

Tools Needed

• A metal prying tool for safely opening the bezel.

Screen Removal Process

1. Bezel Removal: Carefully insert the prying tool between the bezel and the front cover to gently pry open the bezel. Take your time to avoid damaging the fragile bezel.
2. LCD Screen: This model’s screen is attached with double-sided adhesive tape rather than screws. Locate the tape at the corners and carefully peel it back to release the screen.
3. Disconnecting the Screen: Gently flip open the safety clip on the connector and slide the LCD cable away. This cable will be reused for the new screen.

Preparing for the New Screen

• Screen Model: Check your damaged screen for the model number. In this case, it’s B156HAN08.4, manufactured by AU Optronics.
• Purchasing the Screen: I’ll link the correct screen model in the description below. You can find it on Amazon or eBay.

Installing the New Screen

1. Connecting the New Screen: Assuming you have the new screen, connect the LCD cable to it, ensuring the safety clip is secured.
2. Securing the Screen: Use double-sided tape (5mm width recommended) to stick the screen onto the laptop. Leave a little extra length for easier future removals if needed.
3. Bezel Reinstallation: Reattach the bezel by clipping it back into place. Ensure it’s firmly seated around the edges.

Final Steps

• Testing: Power on the laptop to ensure the new screen is working correctly.
• Completion: If the screen works as expected, you’ve successfully completed the replacement.
