This is a guide on replacing a screen on the Lenovo IDEAPAD SLIM 3 15ABR8 laptop.

To begin, shut down the laptop and disconnect the power cord.

The first step is to remove the bezel. Insert a plastic pick between the bezel and the LCD from the inner side.
Move it along the left and the top sides. Insert a plastic pick between the bezel and the back cover.
Move it along the perimeter. Open the laptop fully and insert a plastic pick between the hinge cover
and the bezel. Move the pick along the bottom edge. Turn the laptop sideways and using a plastic pick
release the bezel from the back. Using fingers release the bezel at the bottom
of the screen. Put the hinge cover aside. The bezel is still held in place with three Phillips screws.
Remove the screws. Put the bezel aside.

The screen is held in place with two adhesive strips on the sides. Using tweezers pick up a loose tab
in the top left corner and pull it out. Pull out the adhesive strip on the right side.
In our case the adhesive strip came off partially. So we are going to use a heat gun to warm up the glue
under the back cover. Make sure that the back cover is warm but not burning. Insert a plastic pick
between the screen and the back cover. Using tweezers pick the remaining adhesive strip and pull it out.

Place the screen on the keyboard. Carefully pull out the little web-cam cable out of it’s guide.
Peel off the silver tape securing the video connector. Using plastic pick open the connector's bracket.
Using both hands pull out the video cable. Discard the broken screen.

Place the new screen on the keyboard. Reconnect the video cable. Close the connector's bracket.
Secure it with tape.

CAUTION! It is very important not to force any connectors.
Also make sure not to twist or slant the connector when plugging it in.

Now we can test the screen. Lift the screen up and lean it against the back cover. Reconnect
the power cord and turn the laptop on. The screen is working and we can finish the installation process.

Turn the laptop off and place the screen back on the keyboard. Using plastic pick and fingers
place the little web-cam into it's guide.

We will be using double sided adhesive strips to secure the screen to the back cover. Use alcohol and a piece
of cloth to clean the sides of the new screen. Attach two strips of the adhesive and remove protective film.
Lift the screen up and align it with a back cover. Apply some pressure on the sides. Remove the protective film.

Make sure that the video cable is in the right position. Replace the bezel. Replace three Phillips screws
at the bottom of the bezel. Go around the perimeter snapping the tabs back in place.

Replace the hinge cover. Turn the laptop sideways and make sure that the bezel and the hinge cover is snapped.
Use a plastic pick to make sure that the corners of the bezel are in place.

Turn the laptop on. And we are done!
