Asus V6800V Display Replacement

Flip the computer over so that it is upside down.

Slide both latches away from each other (towards the outside).

Push the battery out with your fingers.

Remove the two screws on the underside of the case.

Locate the little tabs above the INSERT, F10 and F1 keys, and between the F5 and F6 keys.

Starting with the tab above the F1 key, press the tabs inward using your fingernail or spudger. Continue this process for the rest of the tabs.

Pull the keyboard out at a 45 degree angle and place it upside down on the scroll pad.

Pull the wide ribbon cable laterally from its socket on the motherboard.

Unscrew the screws at the bottom of the chassis to remove the top panel.

Under the keyboard, remove the six screws that are highlighted.

The case needs to be separated. Use your fingers or a pry tool to gently start at the front and work around the entire case.

Remove the internal cables by starting with those in the front and working towards the back.

Use your fingers to gently remove the cables from their sockets.

Once you can separate the screen and top case from the bottom case, lay them flat so you can work on the computer more easily.

Once the case is separated, it is relatively easy to replace the display. Just be very careful; new displays can cost several hundred dollars.

First, we need to get the display by itself.

Unscrew the 6 screws (3 each side) holding the top panel of the chassis to the display.

Once the screws are removed, you can separate the display by itself.

Separate the chassis from the display. If the screws were removed properly, nothing should hold them together.

The display is now separated from the case.

We now need to pull off the panels around the display. Start by removing the small enclosures around the hinges.

Remove seven Phillips screws from the bezel. They are all hidden under small circular rubber covers.

Using a finger or plastic opening tool, gently pry the bezel up from the screen.

Remove six screws from underneath the bezel: two next to each hinge and one at each top corner.

Lift the panel away from the top of the casing. There is a connector holding the display down near the hinges, so be gentle at the bottom.

The connector to the display on the back should be removed. Be gentle because these are not replaceable.

There is tape holding the cable to the display. The best method of removing the cable is by gently pulling tape off of the part connected to the display and using that leverage to gently pull down.

There is tape holding that cable to the screen. Remove it.

There is still a small connector that should be removed. It is located near the right hinge.

The display is totally separated now. You can either replace or repair it.
