Overview
The laptop screen got broken as the laptop felt down. It was not a visible break, but it was impossible to use. So, a new screen was to come! The main issues was determining the type of the screen actually needed for my laptop type. It was necessary to open the laptop to see where the cable is connected, and so determine the type. Many thanks to the repairers from Restarters Barcelona, who helped with this.

Use the plastic bar to gently disconnect the cable connector from the mother board.
3. Remove the cables
Remove the cable from all the locations where it is still attached to the base.
4. Remove the hinges.
Use the Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the screws at the hinges. Put the screws aside, so they do not get mixed with the previous screws.

Gently separate the old screen and the black frame that is holding it from the front side.
6. Fit the new screen
Fit the new laptop screen into the black frame first.
7. Connect the cables of the new screen

Connect the hinges to the base of the computer. Make sure that all the cables are connected and guided as originally. Put the back lid back and screw the screws located at its perimeter.
