Things You'll Need:
- Phillips screwdriver
- Replacement LCD display
- Small plastic bag
-
Step 1
Power off your Toshiba computer. Examine the bezel of your Toshiba laptop, which is the perimeter surrounding the LCD display. There will be screws around the edges of the bezel, likely with screw covers on them, depending on your exact Toshiba model. Pop off these screw covers using a knife tip, for example, and then remove all the bezel screws using a Phillips screwdriver. Put these screws in a safe place, such as a small plastic bag, because you will need them later.
-
Step 2
Remove the bezel from the display. Pop it off by isolating a corner and peeling it off from there. Be careful not to bend or warp the bezel in the process.
-
Step 3
Disconnect the inverter cable. The inverter cable plugs into the inverter, which is located directly beside it. The inverter can be found beneath the bezel after it is removed, and directly below the center of the LCD display.
-
Step 4
Remove the remaining screws. These screws are located in the metal brackets on either side of the laptop screen. These metal brackets are only visible once the bezel is removed. There should be two screws on each bracket, but this varies by model. Use your Phillips screwdriver to remove these screws, and put them in safe place, such as your plastic bag.
-
Step 5
Pull the LCD display from the back plastic of the computer carefully, then remove the old display altogether. Slide the new display in and reconnect the inverter cable.
-
Step 6
Replace the screws into each metal bracket, making sure to hold the new LCD display in place. Then, put the bezel into place over the LCD display. Replace all the screws and make sure they are tightly screwed into the bezel. Power the Toshiba laptop back on and enjoy your newly fixed hardware. Save any documentation that shipped with your replacement LCD display for later perusal or warranty purposes.
