How to replace LCD Screen on Lenovo Legion 15IMH05H. Step-by-step instructions

[@StillSwiftAF]

Really good tutorial. The hardest part for me was making sure I got the 40-pin connector seated all the way, but I eventually got everything working. Thanks!

[@minimbavault]

Thanks, I followed the instructions step by step, and my PC screen placement was done without any issues. Laptop works fine.

[@snafriozo6096]

Before you start replacing the matrix, the first thing you need to do is disconnect the battery so that there is no power because in this way you can only damage the matrix

[@Laptopscreen]

While disconnecting the battery is a good precaution, it is not a hard requirement, provided care is exercised when plugging in the connector. The LCD is almost never damaged if the connector is shorted during installation. But the laptop can get damaged. That is why it's important to use both hands to direct the video cable when hooking it up to the LCD.

[@krzysztof4802]

@@Laptopscreen ALWAYS disconnect the battery. we repaired many laptops after hot-plugging the EDP tape. you can damage both the mb and the screen this way

[@radstf6342]

Hey, if I've accidentally short circuited the connector thing when trying to plug a new lcd panel in. What do I do now?

[@sudomann]

@@radstf6342 @krzysztof4802 Have you found an answer? I did the same thing, I forgot to unplug the battery and shorted some pins.... now my laptop wont post. the keyboard lights up for maybe 5 seconds and then nothing, but the underside gets warm. I'm thinking I may have blown something on the board and I'm trying to figure out if I should order a replacement display to still test it out to see if I the laptop can still boot or if the board is toast

[@mister6490]

thanks for the tutorial. i didn't want to change the screen but i wanted to clean the corners of my so i had to remove the fist part shown in this vid. Thanks again for this tutorial

[@jacktastic715]

I totally stepped on my laptop and writing this now it has lines all through the center it's usable but I'll definitely be replacing it!!!

[@joshualisciarelli6960]

Super quick and clear, thank you!

[@navajasrs2402]

Thanks. This was a breeze with your help!

[@tetsuoshima2314]

Don't bother disconnecting the battery they said... well, don't listen to that! because I just fried my laptop by mistake...

[@masternsdj1]

Thanks you! I replaced my display so easy because of you clear explanation :3

[@Laptopscreen]

Glad it helped!

[@adelahmed5886]

Thank you! Your video is very helpful.

[@sarathvs2002]

does turning off the battery in bios does the same as taking out the battery physically does it have the same effect or not

[@basil5863]

Awesome Video! Do you know if it is possible to install the mini LED 3,2k screen from the Legion 9i into my Legion slim 7 gen 8 AMD?

[@ryanzmuda3167]

Do you rally need double side electrical tape. Or would any double sided thin tape do. Also why does the official service guide say you have to do much more to remove this?

[@Laptopscreen]

Any double sided tape will do, we're not using electrical tape. The hardware maintenance manual says to remove the display assembly before clawing out the LCD because it is based off the internal recycling/disassembly guide.

[@ryanzmuda3167]

@@Laptopscreen ok thanks. Would have done but the screen ended up not being the issue. I tested it.

[@SolAcu009]

Good day! I currently have the same model of legion 5i laptop but it has the 120hz display instead of the 144hz display. Is it possible to upgrade from 120hz display to 144hz display?

[@Laptopscreen]

Yes, it's possible. It's actually harder to get the original 120Hz screen. We're sending 144Hz by default for that computer. It's also possible to upgrade to 165Hz 72% NTSC, click on Options: www.laptopscreen.com/1707030/

[@stitch361]

I did all the steps you did but laptop isn’t showing anything but it’s on and charging what did I do wrong

[@Aileron256]

Disconnect the battery first! I tried doing things exactly the way the video describes - ended up frying something on the motherboard.

[@sudomann]

I forgot to disconnect my battery, now I cant post. When you fried your board did it still by chance light up (dimly) and get warm by the gpu? I am trying to figure out if its just a blown display that is causing the system to not boot or if the mobo is fried. Thanks

[@jolly9833]

​@@sudomannhey, any update? And what did you do?

[@bestvideosofeverything]

can we change with oled screen?

[@ld7943]

is it possible to put a 1440p screen in it with the same diameter

[@Heressy01]

One of the stripa broke when I pulled them, now one side is stuck. What to do?

[@Laptopscreen]

Break out the hair dryer (or a heat gun) and warm the back cover gently, then use a plastic pick to unpick the screen from the back cover.

[@likewhutyouc]

When I connected the video cable, the screen didn’t turn on. What did I do wrong?

[@TheRealMonkeyDogMan]

Can you provide a link for the replacement screen? Also, how many pins does this model have?

[@Laptopscreen]

www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Lenovo/LEGION%205%2015IMH05H/ The one shown has 40 pins because it was a 144Hz refresh rate screen, it was upgraded to a 165Hz screen. You can click "upgrade options" button on our site for listings that can be upgraded.

[@Androlink]

I want to buy this laptop screen, the normal one is 144hz? Also another difference if I wanna upgrade to 165hz display?

[@ConiYayinda]

Hİ, How do I know if there are 30 pins or 40 pins? This is the model I use, 15ARH05H.

[@justsomeguy367]

40 pins, I have the same model

[@matt187_]

Were you able to replace it successfully?

[@hisokaiq5695]

is there a glossy version for the same laptop model? And what does "-$2 Matte IPS, 1080p, Professional color range" mean? cuz I read the descriptions and didn't get it also what is the difference between the "-$2 Matte IPS, 1080p, Professional color range" and the original display of the laptop?

[@Laptopscreen]

No, there are no Glossy options that we offer for this laptop. The -$2 is the cost of upgrade, a discount in this case due to commodity pricing (higher quality display is cheaper because of less demand). In this particular case its a Matte 144Hz 40-pin display with a slightly better color gamut than the original.

[@amaldc-brc]

I replaced the screen but when I go to turn the computer on the charger light isn’t showing and the computer won’t cut on.

[@balazskovari4814]

Good video! A quick one, if I may? Can the camera be replaced without removing the display first?

[@Laptopscreen]

You may be able to remove it. But plugging it back in may be tough because the connector comes from under the display and is fairly short.

[@Aileron256]

Hello! I've been waiting for months for the 1440p version of the screen (for the 82JU) to become available again, but so far nothing. Can I expect a restock anytime soon? I've already applied for the email notification.

[@Laptopscreen]

There is no particular date yet, but the item is expected to be stocked some time soon. It takes time for the higher spec screens to filter down to 3rd party replacement market.

[@SlavaBass]

Ammm By detaching the edp caple without battery removing (or in case of lenovo disabling in UEFI utility) could lead to video chip damage.

[@Laptopscreen]

Damage is to the LED backlight power sub system, not the GFX chip itself. Damage is possible because laptop manufacturers choose to provide power to BackLight-Enable pin whether computer is on or off. Damage occurs when said pin is touched to ground or any other pins if the connector is fiddled with. Always use both hands to remove and attach the connector to avoid touching the connector jacket with any live pins. LCDs can be swapped with the computer fully turned on, as long as extreme care is taken to properly plug and unplug the connector.

[@vincenzoaquila167]

I tried this and now my laptop won't even charge or turn on

[@lukem9962]

You killed the pch chip

[@JoeBarber]

i have done the replacement but the screen is so dark i can barely see it and brightness won't turn up?

[@walperstyle]

try reconnecting pins, because that sounds like power to backlight is out.

[@VictorLopez-tn3qv]

nice video, is normal to have screen bleeding in this model?

[@Laptopscreen]

No, its not really normal. If the bleeding is around the edges it could be that the bezel is pressing on the LCD too hard, you could try to remove the bezel and remount it.

[@bharathab177]

Can I upgrade legion display to 100 srgb

[@doomshot7324]

how did you remove the bezel so easily without breaking it ?

[@Laptopscreen]

I guess its years of experience :) The trick is pull from the inner edge and just be careful - if it's not coming apart easily try a different angle. You may break a couple of plastic snap tabs underneath, but it's not the end of the world, just go slow and don't bend the plastic too much.

[@Naki7g]

Could you give me the model number of the screen thats FHD with 165hz ?

[@amfaizvlogs]

I have same model.. Can i replace screen to 144hz? from 120hz..how can I check pins of my current lcd?

[@mediumplayer1]

Idk if there is a 144hz screen for a Legion. I know 165hz exists. Coincidentally, it also has better color accuracy compared to the 120hz panel.

[@maxdd]

Hey, do you do shipments to chile?

[@mrs.t754]

I've replaced my dying screen but now the laptop doesn't even power on, even when I've switched back to the old screen....what do you think may have happened here? I now have a non functioning laptop!

[@Laptopscreen]

Most common reason for that is that the pins in the video connector that weren't supposed to touch other pins in the video jack or the jack's shielding have touched and caused a short to ground to the backlight power sub system. The motherboard will require component level repair in order to function properly again.

[@derekhatake]

dying screen? what were the signs?

[@paolopandili7742]

did your laptop work again?

[@encodecomputadoras8510]

hi, do you fix the problem , i have the same porblem in my laptop. thanks .

[@nodeath3642]

what size adhesive tape is used here?

[@ToubiTo]

Hi i have 2k 165hz (legion5" 5 15 ith6h ) can i go to 240hz

[@Laptopscreen]

Likely not, unless that computer was offered with that option, the pin-out maybe different on your current video cable. Sharp makes a 240Hz panel that would fit your laptop physically: LQ156M1JW03 One thing (lie) to note about high refresh rate LCDs is that unlike old school CRTs that would literally redraw the entire image with every Hertz cycle, LCDs don't actually redraw anything that doesn't change. And even if they did, the example Sharp panel boasts a Black to White response rate of 8ms, and since there are only 1,000 ms in a second, that would mean that each pixel in the panel could transition from White to Black 1,000/8=125 times in a second. Well at-least the Sharp datasheet is honest in that it defined the response time as White to Black; as other manufacturers boast 1ms response times measured GtG - Grey to Grey - or how long the pixel takes to transition one (loosely defined) shade of grey and can still only manage 8ms B/W. Simply put, your computer (video driver) may show 240Hz being sent to the panel, but what you see on-screen frame-wise would not go beyond 125 fully different frames per second, but as mentioned previously LCDs don't redraw, so you'll have to send 125 different pictures to it in a second, and then if you were to film that with a high speed camera - you would not be able to get any of the original pictures from it - it would be a complete unrecognizable mess. I'm a proud owner of a 240Hz "gaming" desktop monitor and a high speed camera, and the feeling of it is nothing compared to a gloriously honest 120Hz CRT from 2 decades ago.

[@andrewanderson1332]

Tell people to take out the fuckin battery. My video cable touched the top plate, sparked, and now my motherboard is fried. Laptop is garbage now.

[@Laptopscreen]

People! Take out (disconnect) the copulating battery. Alternatively don't let the connector on the end of the video cable touch the metal part of the back cover.
