This a video on replacing a screw-tab mounted LCD with a newer adhesive-mounted IPS panel
For the demonstration purposes we are going to use this Lenovo ThinkPad E490 laptop.
Turn the laptop off and disconnect the power cord.
Start removing the bezel. Insert a plastic pick between the bezel and the LCD
and move it along the perimeter. Release the bezel at the bottom and set it aside.
The original screen has tabs and is held in place with 4 Phillips screws.
Using a Phillips screwdriver remove the four screws. Place the screen on the keyboard.
Peel off the clear tape securing the video connector. Open the connector’s bracket.
And using both hands disconnect the video cable, discard the old screen.
The new screen has no mounting tabs and we are going to use adhesive strips which
you can buy on our site laptopscreen.com
Place the new screen on the keyboard. And using both hands gently reconnect the video cable, close the connector’s bracket.
Secure it with clear tape.
Clean both sides of the screen and the back cover with rubbing alcohol. Apply adhesive strips to the sides of the new screen. Remove protective film from adhesive.
Lift the screen up and apply some pressure to catch the adhesive. Remove protective film from the screen.
Replace the bezel. Start at the bottom then go around the perimeter snapping tabs back in place.
Make sure the bezel is snapped-in at the bottom.
Turn the screen on and we are done!
