How to remove screen and inverter from Dell Studio 1737 or 1735 laptops

In this guide I explain how to remove the LCD screen and inverter board from a Dell Studio 1737 or Dell Studio 1735 laptop.
In order to take apart the display assembly it has to be removed from the laptop base first.

I explained how to remove the display assembly in my previous disassembly guide for Dell Studio 1737/1735 laptop (steps 1-17).
Let’s take it apart and remove the LCD screen and inverter board.
STEP 1.
There are no screws securing the screen bezel to the display cover but there are many plastic latches.
You can two of these latches on the following picture.
Start separating the screen bezel from the cover with your fingers. Wiggle the bezel until latches underneath are disengaged.



STEP 2.
Continue removing the bezel.



STEP 3.
The screen bezel has been removed.



STEP 4.
The screen inverter mounted on the lower part of the display panel.
The screen inverter works as a power supply for the backlight lamp inside the LCD screen. When inverter fails, the screen backlight goes off and the image become very dim.
If your laptop screen has become very dim, try replacing the inverter board first. If it doesn’t help, most likely you’ll have to replace the LCD screen because it has a bad backligh lamp inside



STEP 5.
Disconnect cables from both sides of the inverter board. Simply unplug two white connectors.
Remove one screw securing the inverter board to the display cover.



STEP 6.
Now you can remove the inverter board and replace it with a new inverter if needed.

STEP 7.
Now you are ready for the LCD screen removal.

If you have to buy a new screen, it’s better to search by the screen model number which is printed on the back side of the screen. In this case you’ll fine a compatible LCD screen.

How to replace broken LED-backlit screen in Asus Eee PC 1201n netbook

  In this guide I explain how to remove and replaced damaged screen in an Asus Eee PC 1201n netbook. There is a good chance this guide fits other Asus Eee netbooks. If it works for you, please mention the model number in comments after the post.
  Asus Eee PC 1201n netbook has a LED-backlit screen. This screen is not cheap and replacing it in a laptop repair shop probably doesn’t make sense because the repair may cost a few hundred dollars. But if you can find a cheap screen and replace it yourself it’s a different story.

  Before you start make sure the laptop is turned off and battery removed.
STEP 1.
  There are six screw seals on the front bezel. These seals hiding screws securing the bezel.




  You can remove seals with a sharp object.
  After all seals are removed, remove all six screws.



STEP 2.
 Start separating the screen bezel from the display cover with your fingers.



STEP 3.
 Continue removing the bezel on the top of the display assembly.



STEP 4.
 I found that in this model hinge covers are not part of the screen bezel.
 You’ll have to separate the hinge cover from the bezel, lift up the hinge cover and remove the bezel as it shown on the following picture
.


STEP 5.
 Remove the screen bezel.



STEP 6.
 After the screen bezel removed, you can remove the right hinge cover.



STEP 7.
 Remove the left hinge cover.



STEP 8.
  Carefully separate the screen assembly from the display cover and remove two screws on the right side.
  These screws securing the screen to the mounting brackets.



STEP 9.
  Remove two more screws on the left side of the screen assembly.
  NOTE: the bottom screws located under a small magnet. Do not forget to put the magnet back in place when you assembled everything back together. This magnet activates the lid close switch when you close the display.



STEP 10.
  Carefully separate the laptops screen from the display cover and place it face down on the keyboard.



STEP 11.
  Now you can access the video cable and disconnect it from the screen.
As I mentioned before, this is LED-backlit screen so there is no inverter board in this model.



STEP 12.
  Disconnect the video cable from the screen.



STEP 13.
 The laptop screen has been removed and ready for replacement.



  The best way to find a new replacement screen is searching by the screen model number.
In my Asus Eee PC 1201n netbook the screen has the following model number: HSD121PHW1 (made by HannStar).
  You can find a new LED-backlit replacement screen here. If your screen is different, just search by the model number.
  Just in case, before you purchase a new screen, I would suggest contacting the seller to make sure the new screen is compatible with your laptop.



  In one of the previous posts I explained how to take apart an Asus Eee PC 1201n netbook and remove memory modules, keyboard, top cover, hard drive, cooling fan and CMOS battery.

STEP 1.
Make sure the laptop is turned off. Remove the battery.

STEP 9.
Now you should be able to lift up the bottom cover and remove it from the laptop.

STEP 17.
Remove the broken metal frame with the power button.



STEP 18.
Remove one screw securing the power button board to the frame and remove the board
.


Now I’m going to glue the broken metal piece back to the main chassis.

How to disassemble Asus K series notebook

In this post I explain how to disassemble Asus K-series notebook and get access to main internal parts.
As an example I took a Asus K50IJ notebook. I believe disassembly steps will be same or very similar for all models in Asus K line.
Let me know if this guide works for your Asus notebook. Please mention the model number in comments below.
Make sure the laptop is turned off.

ACCESSING MAIN PARTS UNDER THE BOTTOM COVER.
Remove the battery.
Remove one screw securing the bottom cover.



Remove four screws securing the bottom cover on the back side of the notebook
.


Slide the bottom cover to the shown direction.
Remove the bottom cover.




 Under the bottom cover you’ll get an easy access to the memory module, hard drive, CMOS battery, cooling fan, DVD drive, wireless card and heat sink with processor.



Remove one screw securing the DVD dirve.
Slide the DVD drive to the right and remove it from the notebook
.


Remove four screws securing the hard drive assembly.
Slide the hard drive assembly to the right to disconnect it from the connector on motherboard
.


Remove the hard drive assembly.
Now you can separate the hard drive from the caddy and replace it with a new one if needed. As you see, it’s a SATA hard drive
.


Spread latches on both sides of the memory module and after the module pops up at a 30 degree angle, carefully pull it from the slot by the edges.
In this particular notebook I found only one memory slot. It looks like some memory was integrated into the motherboard.
Not sure if all Asus K series notebooks have only one memory slot.



Remove three screws securing the cooling fan.
Unplug fan cable from the motherboard.
Now you can remove the fan.



REMOVING KEYBOARD.
In order to remove the keyboard it’s not necessary to go though all previous disassembly steps.
There are five small spring loaded latches securing the keyboard.
I pointed to them with yellow arrows.



In order to unlock the latch, simply press on it with a sharp object.
At the same time pull the keyboard upwards
.


After all latches unlocked, you can lift up the keyboard as it shown on the picture below.



Carefully place the keyboard upside down on the palm rest.
Before you can disconnect the keyboard cable, you have to unlock the connector
.


The keyboard cable is jammed between the white connector base and brown locking clip.
On the following picture the connector is shown in locked position
.


Move the locking clip about 2 millimeters to the left (do not move any further).
The locking clip must stay attached to the white base.
On the following picture the connector is shown in unlocked position. Now you can pull the keyboard cable from the connector.



Finally, remove the keyboard and replace it with a new one if needed.
