This is a guide on replacing a screen on Lenovo ThinkPad T490s

For a replacement process we will need just a plastic pick.

To begin turn off the laptop and disconnect the power cord.

Now we can remove the bezel. The bezel is held in place with tabs
and a lines of glue along the inner edge. Insert a plastic pick
between the bezel and the screen. Move the plastic pick along the
inner edge. Use other hand to unsnap the the bezel. Be careful around
the web camera. The bottom edge is especially heavily glued and requires
some patience to get it released. Place the bezel aside.

Place the screen on the keyboard. Peel off the clear tape securing the
video connector. Using plastic pick open the connector’s bracket.
Disconnect the video cable. Discard the old screen.

Place the new screen on the keyboard. Reconnect the video connector.
Close the connector’s bracket. Secure it with a clear tape.
Make sure that cable states in its place.

Lift the screen up and fit it into the back cover. Test the screen.
The screen is working and we can finish the installation process.

Replace the bezel. Go around the perimeter snapping the tabs back in place.
Close the laptop and make sure the bezel is snapped at the bottom edge.

Turn the laptop on. And we are done!
