I gave this chromebook to my daughter after I got a new laptop, she took such great care of it. One of her little friends cracked the screen and I thought we lost everything on it. I used this video to install a new screen it was so super easy! Thank you so much :)

[@buzztree9123]

I've had my Chromebook for 7 years....this video saved me hundreds to thousands of dollars. Thank you so much. The info slip, fast delivery and cute pouch with tools really helped. Took me an hour. Now I got a clean new screen and don't have to buy a new Laptop. Thank you Screen Surgeons!!! 😀

[@krystineil1102]

Ordered your replacement screen for $50 and followed your video instructions, all went beautifully and I now have a working Chromebook!! Thank you!

[@ShontelleShelton]

I got my screen today and your instructions are on point. This is my first order with your company, and I have 2 more laptops with damaged screens that I will be repairing soon. Thank you so much for the speedy delivery and great products.

[@ChavezDIY]

Thanks so much for making this video. I just finished replacing the screen on a C720 that my lil cousin busted. I used a credit card to help pop the clips around the screen bezel. Bottom part of the screen bezel took a bit of wiggling and pivoting, but not bad. The pin connector was a breeze. Thanks again! Cheers!

[@j_m_b_1914]

Hey I just bought one of your replacement screens and followed your instructions and it worked beautifully. A $50 screen saved me from having to shell out $200 for a new chrome book. Thank you!

[@ismaelguzman991]

+Screen Surgeons Hi, thanks for the tutorial c: But i got one question... I'm from Venezuela and i need a replacement screen for my C720. Someone is selling me a Acer Aspire E11 screen, but idk if it will fit on it. Supposedly it's the same type and size as the C720, but i'm not sure. A little help here will be aprecciated, thanks.

[@williamsparks6945]

Did it fit? Screens are everywhere, do you have mail service? Amazon has spoiled us all...

[@ThegoldenMuffin]

This video helped me alot in replacing my screen for cheap, instead of paying top dollar for someone else to do it. Thanks a lot!

[@MattClipper]

Thanks to this video, I was able to fix the broken screen on my daughter's Chromebook. Thanks!

[@reifanboy-backpackingthelo3045]

This totally worked! Fixed my son's chrome book after the rocking chair incident of 2014! Thanks!

[@thewaynemlarson]

Just purchased the screen on Amazon after viewing your tutorial. You couldn't have made it look easier! I went ahead and made sure I could get the frame off and get to the screen and it was a cinch following your direction. I will rate you on Amazon once new screen is on the laptop.

[@sunnyw4040]

Thank you for video. This took me all of 20 minutes maybe. Extremely helpful. Local computer store wanted between $100-200 to repair the screen. Ridiculous!

[@smathers21]

Just replaced the screen. Easy job, took 15 minutes and I took my time. This was the first laptop screen I have ever done. Thank You

[@andyh3965]

Thank you for this vid, just replaced the father in laws broken screen as per your instructions… perfect. Brownie points for me 😊

[@LynnFingerhut]

Just used this video to replace a screen on my Acer and it works! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@andreaharris8870]

Thank you so much! I was able to replace the screen that my littlest one accidentally kicked and cracked! Thank you for saving a lot of stress from this household!!!

[@LiotaR]

[@mariomaserati1575]

[@davidanderson4832]

Thanck you so much for making this video fixed the screen straight away for wife's Chromebook where daughter jumped on it easy fix and a lot cheaper than buying new laptop awsome 10 out of 10 video

[@BayodeleOLOTU]

NIce one. I used this guide to replace the screen on a c730. Took less than 15 minutes.

[@KlingonGamerYT]

GOOD VIDEO did the whole thing in 5 minutes simples !!!

[@girlbandgeek]

Thanks for the excellent video. Worked like a charm. My daughter's Chromebook is back in action!

[@robinsewell4540]

i replaced this screen myself it worked perfectly also i got my screen from amazon for $45 thanks.

[@ram1879]

Excellent video! I did this with no issues at all. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@davidmcclanahan1808]

Thank you so much! I tried everything. Was gonna replace screen because it was black and not working. Took off bezel removed 4 screws ,leaned the screen fwd and bam it had come partially unplugged. Pluged it up taped the connector and viola, working perfectly.

[@uhmgawa6533]

*Warning:* the bezel needs to be pushed *inward* toward the screen center during removal, not "out" as is stated @1:58. Otherwise those snapping sounds called out @2:00 may be of the shell/bezel lock tabs being ripped from their respective mounts. IOW the fingers in the bezel point away from the screen center and the mating fingers in the shell point inward. The far, far simpler procedure is to insert a dulled single edge razor blade (or ideally a dulled xacto #17 blade) into the bezel shell seam. With the screen facing you, pull up on the blade toward you. This will push the bezel inward while separating it from the shell. If you use your fingernails to lift up on the interior of the bezel perimeter, you'll be fighting yourself by pushing the mating fingers tighter together. Also I don't believe the screen bezel was designed for removal while the upper shell is attached to the base. It is possible to do with some effort as seen here. However when attempting to free the bezel hinge covers, the lower portion of the bezel is restricted by the lower base and can't travel in the direction needed to unlock the hinge cover fingers. Given this, the best approach is to place the c720 partially closed on its side and work the hinge cover fingers while opening and closing the c720 slightly to gain top/bottom clearance for movement of the bezel/hinge cover.

[@shwabit]

Much appreciated this video helped me fix my screen as the connection was just loose.

[@jhuizi123]

Thanks! Saved me of buying a new chromebook

[@jadinvt]

Thanks! Excellent video. I had the replacement screen already, but next time I'll come your way.

[@shakuurali7193]

thank you very much, just trying this process fixed my acer C720 laptop and not replacing it. may be if this problem comes back again, then I will need to replace my screen. I owe you

[@meatfest1974]

This helped, immensely. Thanks for the thorough how-to! Quick and easy, too!

[@KinnisD]

wow, wow, wow. you made this a very easy repair. Thank You!

[@knormie]

Thanks a million! Great instructions. We're back in business.

[@nd318865]

No; Thank you! Little guy dropped and penetrated outside of Acer C720, penetrating back and very strange stuff appeared on screen. He greatly misses abcmouse and his moms tax refund came and I found your perfect clip on youtube and ordered a replacement. From you of course. Again, thank you.

[@karenblankenship6186]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It didn't take long and I didn't break anything and it works! Yay. Thank you for your guidance!

[@Naisium]

Very useful video. Thank you.

[@jcervelli]

thanks so much...this was very comprehensive and simple!

[@buzztree9123]

So wait...I just bought my Bezel and new screen and y'all gave me the tools (thanks) but I haven't used my laptop for days and when I open it, it still seems to be "on" ; it has not been charged for days. Has not been used for 8 days. The battery cannot be removed...what should I do? Thanks @ScreenSurgeons

[@gregbrenneman4033]

Excellent video, many thanks!

[@nealparler1980]

Thank You! Can I replace the screen on a Acer 317 h1 c994 with the same procedure? I cannot find a video for it?? Thanks 👍

[@DABOGARZA]

Thanks for the video. Worked amazing.

[@itz_ely100]

hello, i was watching your video to help repair my c720 , i noticed when you removed the plastic frame mine was different from yours..... mine is much thinner then what you show here..... ???????

[@Acvodaddy]

Wasted half the video taking the goddamn bezel off.

[@williamsparks6945]

then putting it back on again to remove it again!!

[@virtualalias]

Done! Thanks a ton!

[@keithroberts1927]

Great video! Thanks for posting it.

[@steaddeondrei]

This was extremely helpful and accurate. Thank you so much !

[@SkyGameZZZZ]

I broke the bezel attempting this I tried to fix my friends chromebook using this and broke the bezel where can I buy a bezel for this type chromebook

[@Flip86x]

I was wondering if an LCD panel from an Acer c720 would fit in a Acer aspire one cloudbook 11. I compared the 2 and they both side mount, have the 30 pin connector and are the same size. I bought an Aspire cloudbook 11 on ebay today with a broken screen for 27 bucks and I already own a c720. I was hoping to be able to put the c720 screen into the aspire one cloudbook. I want a cheap, reliable, linux machine and while I have had linux on the chromebook it is a damn hassle getting everything working.

[@qigao4750]

Thanks for your video !

[@halestoorm511]

Does the c720 and c730 use about the same screen? Seems easier to find the former one.

[@guyoffun]

thank you for this video now i can see shantae on my screen again

[@gradycarter462]

Hey im a student, left my backpack in the locker room and when i came back it was thrown across the room. Went home found out my Acer chromebooks screen was destroyed, its a 13.3 in display... can i get any 13.3 in display or is there a specific you can link me to? Thanks

[@CelticBadBoyPoet7]

Good Video Dude!...Do U Sell The Outside Frame For The Acer C-720 Too?

[@Jacob-yx2dv]

hey there, thanks for the upload, i have a c720p (the touchscreen model), does this process change?

[@anothershank]

Thanks very helpful

[@xbananamanx01]

If I buy the right screen, will the procedure be the same for the Acer C720-2661? (It's the semi-new touchscreen version)

[@westre1]

My Acer C720 has a smaller bezel. The plastic frame is rigid and narrow, so it would not be flexible like the one he removes. Any help on that?

[@lfcbricker]

Thanks! Now, how does one properly dispose of the old screen?

[@emanihunter1065]

I recently just cracked my screen same laptop as this one and want to fix it myself but I have a glossy screen and dont want a matte screen what do you suggest !

[@DarioCotti]

is there a IPS compatible panel for the C720?

[@shayamaddex996]

Was a little bit hard but it worked!!!!

[@maryellengambutti1789]

Nice work, Shaya! xoxo

[@17sk8rchick]

Did these steps, ,and the screen's backlight is working, but there is no picture. What might be the problem?

[@ashleymail4u]

Do you have an IPS screen for this model.

[@mixindave1]

can the screen on the c720 be changed to a better one?

[@zach9529]

Will this work for my IPhone? I want a larger screen.

[@madsencc]

Yes it will! Please buy at least two screens in case the first one doesn't work.

[@jordanhansen8631]

You can also connect your Chromebook to your iPhone and use it as a small screen to navigate chrome, since Safari is a joke.

[@samiiykk7750]

Good night how can I get the screen to buy please am in Jamaica

[@DaveRGV]

found the replacement on Walmart.com from tech orbits for $35 bucks. Thank you for the instruction!

[@christopherwilkinson566]

really good, thanks

[@dooogyyyu]

What type of screwdriver did you use? Ph.... something??? Can someone clarify this for me please? Thanks.

[@jasonrippentrop7314]

Just get a small precision head set. Almost every laptop style computer uses Phillips heads. Magnetic tips make the job much much easier too.

[@jonneet2126]

I really like my Acer C720. It has recently started acting up. The screen goes wacky. When this happens I can still hear the sound, and it is still on a website. If I tilt the screen a little forward the picture usually comes back on. I don't know if the problem is in the screen itself, or the wiring or connector for the screen. Any ideas? Thanks for any comments.

[@jasonrippentrop7314]

I'd start buy following the instructions in part of this video about checking the connector. Then go from there

[@sunilk20032]

Do you have the bezel available for this laptop?

[@lukem6667]

how much for a screen shipped to ireland c720 chromebook

[@mmcmac1]

That bezel extraction "technique" just makes me cringe. The ham fisted approach is way too rough and risks snapping off the retaining fingers. A more cautions approach isn't difficult vs. the reckless procedure demonstrated here. Also don't damage the shell as is being done @3:10 with a phillips point screwdriver. The flutes in the tip make a fine cutting edge and have visibly scratched the shell along the seam. I'd also recommend using finger cots or tweezers when lifting tape adhesive @6:50. Doing so avoids contaminating the adhesive with skin oils such that most of the tack is retained.

[@fakre7695]

i took it out, secured the connection and put it back on. for some reason, it wont turn on anymore?

[@cutekitty018]

could you make a video on how to fix the hinges of an average Chromebook please? I can't find anything on how to do that.

[@itsKemia]

Whats an average chromebook?

[@cutekitty018]

I had a silver Acer Chromebook and I guess it didn't look like this so I made that comment not completely thinking, didn't someone would reply to it one year later

[@zach9529]

Try hitting it with a bat.

[@lprcpa94]

thank you so much

[@AdalBermann85]

thank you!

[@Sloppyjoe96]

i wander if you could put the anti-glare in the c710..

[@ScreenSurgeons]

Yes, if you can find it. All our screens are glossy.

[@blackneos940]

ScreenSurgeons Ah!..... :D I had some debris in the bottom of my Screen Case, 'cuz the Liquid was rippling by itself, and whenever I moved the lid of my Chromebook C720..... So I found out that: A: Putting a little pressure on the Screen while lifting up the plastic DOESN'T hurt the Screen in any way, and: B: That this was EASY, and didn't require ANY tool but my finger..... :) Thanks!..... :D BTW, do you know any place that can refurbish a Dell Inspiron 1420....? 'Cuz I run Peppermint Linux on it, and Kubuntu Linux on it, and whenever I boot into them, past the BIOS, the Screen Light flickers, and it crashes shortly after, on most occasions..... Eeesh..... :( I have Kubuntu on my Chromebook as well, but it would be nice not to lose a backup Laptop..... :D

[@brendon_5609]

+Screen Surgeons finger print magnet?

[@ringingmyassdogstv5285]

How much is It?

[@itsKemia]

Could I replace my screen with a touchscreen?

[@ScreenSurgeons]

Unfortunately, you may not.

[@articrevised6182]

I couldn't get the black screen thing off around the screen

[@babydonnaP]

can anyone tell me what screen type these laptops are please? LED or LCD?

[@kevinchao9661]

What if u got a 40 pin cpnnector will that still work?

[@XxSolomonleexX]

no he said it wouldn't work

[@TopForeigner]

Can you fix my???😂😭

[@nasir_salam]

is there one or the c730?

[@kate_0819]

my hindge fell off of my black c740 chrome book and i am on my other white chrome book i had sence 2016 and i am getting a new chrome book soon

[@jcervelli]

just need to be sure you have that proper PH0 screwdriver bit

[@PBayliss1]

Great video! Worked exactly as you said, thanks!! You should post a link to a PayPal account if that's allowed because I'd gladly pay you at least $ 10 for the help.

[@dutwork8680]

Can tell this is the first or maybe 2nd time he has fixed this type of chromebook or anything else. Too gentle with that screen bezel...

[@NOORDRAWS]

Rip my chromebook fell off my desk and got cut by the corner of a drawer.

[@dalereid22]

I cringe when I see people using Phillips screwdrivers (like a ph0 ) on JIS screws. Really recommend using plastic tools whenever possible.

[@NA-nu4pm]

In 10 min video you are struggling for 5 min to remove the LCD cover 😭😭

[@korylmao]

hey thats mine

[@johnsavage8873]

The Acer 720 Chromebook was a big disappointment. Google promised people that various Chromebooks would later to able to use Google apps. Empty promises. This is why I'm resisting buying another Chromebook until my 720 dies. Then I'll take it to the shooting range and blow holes in it. And Google support sucks!

[@Danrarbc]

Goodbye scratches (damn 5 year olds)

[@cryptic3097]

Rip

[@GxAxV]

brilliant, thanks for the help!
