    • Unclip the display bezel from the frame starting at the top.

    • To remove the lower part, open the display as far as possible.

    • Warning, the frame of the screen may be glued at the bottom. When pulling as shown, there is a big risk of damaging the screen. You may want to use a plastic tab to separate it gradually.

    Attention ! le bas du cadre de l'ecran est collé (!!!) et lorsque l'on tire sur le cadre (depuis le haut, comme indiqué), l'écran se déchire...

    les indications fournies ici sont INCOMPLETES !

    Pour changer la nappe qui connecte l'écran à la carte mère, il manque des étapes. En effet; si vous souhaitez changer l'écran, vous pouvez garder la nappe qui est déjà en place. Mais si vous souhauitez changer la nappe elle même, il faut également la déconnecter de la carte mère, ET réussir à la passer dans la charnière à l'intérieur du capot... il manque des étapes.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

bonjour, pourriez-vous rajouter la manière dont on débranche le cable EDP entre carte mère et écran,

je n'ose pas tirer et je ne sais dans quelle direction! merci!

Didier Chakchouka -

Step 14 of the why! N131WU Motherboard Replacement guide shows how to unplug the other end of the display cable from the motherboard. You will need to follow the first four steps of that guide in order to gain access to it.

Bonjour ,

Il n'est pas nécessaire de retirer la carte mère , seules les étapes 15 et 16 sont nécessaire pour changer l'écran

EkimiaMichel -

En effet, il n'est pas nécessaire de retirer la carte mère, mais il faut tout de même suivre l'étape 12 si on veut changer le câble EDP. Il n'est pas exclu que nous devrions mettre à jour certains de nos tutos.
