Title: Step-by-Step Guide to Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Screen Replacement
Introduction: Hello, Simon here! If you’re facing screen issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 3, such as cracks or display malfunctions, this guide is for you. Today, I’ll walk you through the process of replacing the screen on your Lenovo IdeaPad 3, model number 81WE. It’s a straightforward process that you can do at home with the right tools.
What You’ll Need:
- Metal prying tool
- Replacement LCD screen (I’ll provide links to purchase)
- Double-sided adhesive tape (Preferably 5 mm width)
- Patience and careful handling
Screen Replacement Process:
- Ensuring Safety:
- Before starting, ensure your laptop is completely powered off.
- Disconnect the battery as a safety measure. You can refer to my teardown process video for guidance on this.
- Bezel Removal:
- Use a metal prying tool to gently pry open the bezel of the screen.
- The bezel is secured with double-sided adhesive tape and clips. Be gentle to avoid damaging the clips.
- Carefully separate the bezel from the screen, keeping the adhesive intact for reattachment.
- Screen Removal:
- The screen is attached with double-sided tape. Locate the small black plastic tabs at the top corners of the screen.
- Carefully pull these tabs to detach the screen from the adhesive.
- Gently flip the screen towards yourself to access the connector.
- Unclip the connector and slide out the cable.
- New Screen Installation:
- Before installing the new screen, ensure you have the correct model. I recommend the InnoLux N156HGA-EA3 (Version C2).
- Attach double-sided tape to the sides where the old screen was attached.
- Reconnect the screen cable and secure the connector.
- Align the new screen and press it firmly onto the tape.
- Reattaching the Bezel:
- Once the new screen is securely in place, reattach the bezel.
- Press along the edges to ensure the clips and adhesive secure the bezel back in place.
