Introduction
This guide covers the replacement of the display assembly for an SGIN X15S. The display may break or malfunction resulting in a distorted or obscured picture, and replacing the display can solve this problem.
If your display is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping over the screen. This can be done by laying overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the computer's display until the whole face is covered. It is advised to use safety glasses to protect your eyes from screen debris during replacement.
While working on your device, if you notice that the battery is swollen, stop your replacement and follow the swollen battery disposal guide. Before working on your device, ensure that it is turned off and completely unplugged from any power sources.
