How to Remove a Laptop LCD Screen
Removing an LCD screen on a laptop is actually quite simple and shouldn’t take much more than 15 minutes, in addition it will save an end user from sending it to a technician. This may go without saying, but unplug the laptop before working on it. Locate the screws holding the LCD screen in its casing, and using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws. There are at least four and they can be located on the screen side or the cover of the LCD screen depending upon the manufacturer. The screws tend to stick a little after being completely loosened and a knife or Xacto blade may be needed to free the screws.
Next look for screws or screw covers on the side of the screen; if covers exist use the knife or Xacto blade to remove them. Then take out the screws with the Philips head screwdriver, unscrewing all of these screws allows the user to gently pull the plastic casing from the LCD screen. Start at the bottom of the screen and work around the perimeter of the screen. When approaching the latch to the screen and cover it may be necessary to slide the latch while removing the casing. At this point the screen should be exposed and the casing should be completely removed. Remember this casing only comes off of the front of the assembly.
Slowly tilt the LCD screen forward; some screens have screws on the side holding them to the back casing, these are usually located on the sides of the screen, but varies by manufacturer. After tilting the screen out locate the connection of wires on the back of the LCD screen, this is the video cable and will be secured with tape or clips. Gently tilt the LCD screen back up and find the inverter at the bottom of the screen. Very carefully slide the inverter out, but it may need to be unscrewed first, again depending upon the manufacturer. Slide the inverter cable plug off of the LCD screen and remove the screen.

Var kan man köpa reservdelen när man väl fått loss skiten?
Thank you for this useful post. I found your blog through google. Your blog is quite interesting.. And I have added your site to my bookmarks 
Repairing LCD is not something you can do it yourself. Atleast not for the people who are not computer savvy. Finding a right technician makes all the difference..
