If you have a problem with the screen in your Dell Latitude 5580, follow this guide. Some issues users come across include:
- Dead pixels after extended use
- A cracked or damaged screen
- Faulty connectors causing display issues
Follow this guide after troubleshooting and concluding a screen replacement is required. It will require slightly difficult procedures like disassembling the main hinge and a good portion of the internal components. Be careful during the removal of the screen bezel because it is thin and can break, as well as dealing with all the screws and internal components in general.
Before you begin this repair, power off your laptop and unplug it from the charging adapter. Also, disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard.
