This is an Acer Aspire 5 A515-54-52BQ step-by-step screen replacement guide tutorial.
For the replacement process we’ll need the following tools:
- X-acto knife
- Small Phillips screwdriver
- Plastic pick
- Metal pick
- Heat gun
- Tweezers
To begin turn the laptop off by pressing and holding the power button. Disconnect the power cord.
Start removing the bezel. Insert the pick between plastic and glass and gently separate the bezel. Using both hands go around the perimeter unsnapping the tabs underneath. Separate the hinge
cover. Open the laptop fully and remove the bezel.
The LCD screen is glued to the plastic cover. We need a Heat Gun to soften the glue.
Warm up the left and right sides of the top cover. Using plastic pick start gently separating the LCD screen. Use the Heat Gun repeatedly on both sides to make sure the glue is soft. Separate the
LCD screen and place it on the keyboard. Use an X-acto knife to remove exess pieces of glue.
Use a metal pick or knife to peel off the clear tape securing the video cable. Use Tweezers to open the
connector’s bracket. Disconnect the video cable. Discard the old LCD screen.
Take the new LCD screen and place it on the keyboard. Reconnect the video cable. Close the
connector’s bracket. Secure it with a clear tape.
CAUTION! It is very important not to force any connectors. As well you must not twist or slant the connector when plugging it in
Lift the screen up. Before we continue it is better to check if the screen is working. Press the
power button and if start up graphics appears we can finish the installation process. Turn the laptop off.
Replace the bezel. Start from the bottom closing the hinge cover. Then go around the perimeter snapping the tabs back in place. Close the laptop and make sure that the bezel is in place at the bottom of the screen.
Turn the laptop on. And we are done!
