Introduction

Before conducting the repair make sure your laptop is powered off and unplugged from any external power source.

There are not any special skills needed for this repair. Basic knowledge of tools is all that is needed.

If replacing a cracked screen, take extra precaution of sharp edges that could cause harm to you. This can be mitigated by placing safety tape over the screen to keep sharp pieces covered when doing the repair.
