Lenovo X130e LCD Replacement

Before ordering a new LCD, determine if the old one is cracked or damaged. If it is damaged, power off the machine and remove the battery.

Unscrew two screws on the LCD bezel. There is one screw per side. Use a Phillps #1 screwdriver to do this.

Once the screws are out, use a pry tool to remove the LCD bezel. Work your way around the LCD bezel to remove it.

Remove the 4 screws holding the LCD in. There are two per side. Use a Phillps #0 screwdriver to do this.

Once the screws are out, pry the broken LCD to expose the LVDS cable. Once you have LVDS cable access, loosen the tape holding it in.

Set the broken LCD aside for recycling.

Get the new LCD. Inspect it for damage before installation.

Reconnect the LVDS cable to the new LCD. Push the tape down after it is plugged in. Note: The tape on the cable will be worn. Replace the tape if you are concerned the cable will fall out.

Screw the LCD into the LCD housing. Use the 4 screws previously removed before.

Power on the laptop to test the new LCD. If it works, snap the bezel back onto the laptop. Finish reassembling the laptop.

When the new LCD is tested and is confirmed good, put the bezel back on.

Line the bezel up with the LCD housing. Once you align it, snap it back onto the system. After snapping it back on, screw the bezel in with the 2 screws that were previously removed.

Replace the laptop's battery.
