    • During reassembly, follow these instructions to align your screen hinges:

    • If you have blue threadlocker, apply a drop to each screw's threads to prevent them from loosening over time.

    • Install the hinge screws without fully tightening them. Center the hinges and check for gaps or rubbing on either side.

    • Fully tighten the hinge screws.

    • If your screen clicks or snaps when it's opened or closed, loosen the screws and realign the screen.

Conclusion

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

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.

Hi where can I buy a replacement screen?

Ryan Li - Réponse

Hi Ryan.

We actually sell the screen, a.ka. "display assembly" here. I apologize that the part wasn't linked in the parts section at the top of the page. I will update that for future repairers.

Alex Diaz-Kokaisl -

Thanks! Unfortunately it is out of stock :(

Ryan Li - Réponse

Did you completely remove the hinge? Just wondering since I may do a hinge replacement in the future.

Jacko Salakian - Réponse

Hi Jacko.

We don't completely remove the hinge with this guide, as it's already attached to the replacement screen.
