This guide outlines the steps in fully removing the LCD facial display of the Anki Vector. Such a procedure should be executed only if none of the solutions on the Anki troubleshooting guide were unsuccessful.
While disassembling Vector, make sure to check for loose cables/connectors and other broken parts. Often times these can be fixed without replacing the entire display.
Be careful to not rip the rubber sheet on the back of the display while removing or working with it, as it is very delicate and easy to tear.

Using the iFixit opening tool, insert the corner under Vector's golden side panel and lightly twist.

Repeat this step on the other side.

Insert the corner of the square end of the spudger under the side plate above the partially visible screw.

Lightly turn the spudger to separate the plate from Vector's head.

Work the spudger around the plate until it comes off.

This is easiest to do by starting near the top screw hole.

Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, unscrew the two 2 mm screws on the side of Vector's head.

Using your thumb and index finger, unplug the display from the plug in Vector's neck.
-
Pull the LCD and speaker assembly from Vector's head.
This board contains a lot of his tech. CPU, GPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, screen, storage, etc. Replacing this will replace his personality, and may mess up his sensor calibration.

Any idea where to get the proper displays ?
Any idea where to get the proper displays ?
This is great information, but where can I buy the display?
yeah I can’t find it anywhere.
Does anyone have a line on display parts source?
Did you ever find a replacement?
The display is soldered to the mainboard along with the CPU and flash memory (on the reverse side). As such, the information here is incomplete at best. The only way to get rid of a faulty LCD/Display is to change the complete assembly for another from a fully working unit. Doing this will also change the registration information of the owner, recognised faces, Wi-Fi connection etc as these are all held in the flash memory.
Yeah this seems to be a very common problem with Vector. The screens break real Easy. Cozmo still running like a champ. No problems. Vector on the other hand is an issue. I advise buying a cozmo over vector. Trying to find a screen replacement is !&&*. If anyone finds it please post so we can help our fellow Anki customers.
Need a display part… anyone?
I do! Where can I find one!?
Moone Shadow was just joking. DUH!
The title needs to be changed to “Removing the LCD display in Vector” Not “……Replacement”
It doesn’t even come close to showing how to replace the LCD.
