If your Acer Aspire screen (model 5100) isn’t producing a clear picture and instead outputs distorted images or intermittent/dead pixels, use this guide to replace the monitor.
The monitor transmits visual data to users through thousands of small pixels. A faulty monitor will transmit distorted or unclear images or no images at all.
Before using this guide, inspect the monitor for any debris that may be interfering with screen quality. Typically, any minute pieces of dust can be removed using an ESD-safe brush or small, damp towel. Be sure to completely shut down your laptop on and off at least two times to confirm that the faulty hardware is the monitor itself.
Before beginning, be sure to turn off your laptop completely and disconnect it from any external power source(s) or monitors if possible.
