This is a guide on replacing a screen on Acer Aspire A515-55-55R6
For the replacement process we will need the following tools:
- a heat gun
- a plastic pick
- tweezers
- and a Phillips screwdriver
To begin turn off the laptop and disconnect the power cord.
Start removing the bezel. Start from the left side and go around the perimeter unsnapping the tabs underneath.
Put the bezel aside.
The screen is held in place by two strips of adhesive on the right and the left sides. We should be able to remove
the adhesive by pulling the tabs in the bottom corners. In our case the adhesive strips are tearing apart. So we have
to use a Heat Gun to soften the glue. Start warming up the right side of the back cover. Plastic should be warm on touch
but not burning. Insert a plastic pick between the LCS screen and the back cover, move it along the edge.
Continue warming up the glue. Remove the adhesive strip. Warm up the left side of the back cover. Insert a plastic
pick and gently pry off the LCD. Move the plastic pick to the bottom. Place the LCD on the keyboard.
Remove the remaining adhesive strip.
The video connector is secured with clear tape. Peel off the tape. Open the connector's bracket. Using both hands
disconnect the cable. Discard the old screen.
Take the new LCD screen and place it on the keyboard. Reconnect the the video cable. Close the connector's bracket.
Secure it with the clear tape.
CAUTION! It is very important not to force any connectors. As well you must not twist or slant the connector when
plugging it in.
Now we can test the new screen. Lift the screen up and lean it against the back cover. We need to reconnect the power
cord. Otherwise the laptop won't start. Press the power button. The start graphics appear and we can finish the
installation process. Turn the laptop off.
Your new display is likely to come with no adhesive. We offer standard double-sided tape for such repairs on our site: laptopscreen.com
Use alcohol and a piece of cloth to clean the back side of the LCD and the inner surface of the back cover.
Apply the new adhesive strips on back of the LCD. Lift the screen up and using
a fine micro fibor cloth apply pressure to the display along the edges to catch the adhesive.
Remove the protective film. Replace the bezel. Start from the bottom making sure that the bezel goes under the hinge
cover. Then go around the perimeter snapping tabs back in place. Use one hand to support the back cover while
snapping the tabs along the hinge. Close the laptop and make sure that all the tabs are in place.
Turn the laptop on. And we are done!

Thanks man made fixing my mom's laptop super easy and fast!

[@user-ny9um6wy5t]

excellent video. only thing(s) I would add is some additional detail on connecting the new screen, how the cable clip from the board needs to snap/clasp back onto the new screen cable connection (right about the 1:56 mark in the video). mine was a firm fit that took a few times to get right. also, in my experience, the heat gun use was set on "low" and I swept it side-to-side like shown in the video for maybe 15-30 seconds in sections. requires some patience, but mine came off very well with some mild heat and "working it" in sections. after about a week, product I ordered and installed from your site has been working flawlessly! also, just buy the double-sided from them. compare the price for other 3m-like strips and it's a wash. no, I am not a shill for them, just very happy with the product and experience.

Top trick of the year ! Damp cloth and iron ( not too hot ) could replace the heat pistol.

I always disconnect the internal battery. Very scary to see the blue lightning when disconnecting the LCD connector.

[@tonnyamittai]

what is the size of this screen

[@zeriicon]

is the lcd bezel secure? im scared on how u easily removed it

[@Laptopscreen]

It varies from laptop to laptop but over-all its easy to remove. Some laptops have glue along the perimeter and that makes it harder. Considering that we've been doing this for more than 10 years it may appear easier than it is. The trick of the trade is to angle the inner edge outwards, that opens up the tabs underneath and lets you pull off the bezel without breaking them.
