The screen is half of the computer, allowing you to see anything that is accessed and making the laptop usable. If you see improper colors or if it is completely black when turned on, then it could need a screen replacement. Although a relatively easy fix, the replacement is a little involved. Before opening up the laptop, ensure that it is powered off for at least 30 seconds and unplugged from anything else.

Hi Evan,
Thanks for the walkthrough, I was able to get the screen replaced. I did want to call out Step 4 as a tripping point for me. Since you disassembled or....shopped the image (for ease of display I'm sure) the mainboard monitor hinge screws in the image show all three screws in place with the case removed.
The screw holes with the large X in your images are actually two of the exterior case screws. so showing them in place without the case on made me search for two missing screws for about an hour. Not complaining but I wanted to help anyone else who might get caught on that part.
