How to repair screen in notebook

I've replaced LCD panel in ASUS M3000Np notebook. It wasn't too hard.

Broken screen in Oksana's notebook:

Looks ugly, I can't even read half of text.

Well, lets try to fix this using the screen panel from another old notebook.

Disassembling of notebook case is a quest kind of game :)

Open notebook ASUS M3 case. Use screwdriver near Esc key to lift up the top panel.
Disassemble ASUS M3000 notebook. Pull the panel left.

We need to remove plastic frame around the screen:

Remove screw hole covers. I've used medic needle.
Screw out 4 screws to release the screen frame

Screen frame is easy to remove now, but be careful! Use screwdriver to release latches.

Frame is ready to remove. Be careful.

We've got access to LCD panel. Remove 4 corner screws and take out old screen.

Take new screen panel and compare to the old one. They should absolutely match each other.

After replacing and plugging the screen panel, better turn the notebook on to verify does everything works fine :)

Place new screen panel to ASUS M3 notebook

Seems just fine, so assemble the notebook.

Place screen frame and top panel. Repairing is complete.

Repairing is complete. Everybody's happy :)

Hi, I have the same laptop. Do you have a manual on how to take it apart or do you know the best way to get to the power adaptor?

Thanks

Hi, thanks. Oftentimes I am getting either info that is too specific - or that is too general to be applied in my own context. With your article I was able to get something out of it, so.... Thanks;-)
