This was just the video I needed. In addition to a broken screen, my hinges were also broken, so the full tutorial on how to replace the entire display was clear and helped me to save an otherwise very good laptop from going to e-waste. Thanks for the clear steps and helpful video!

[@ErickSAMachado]

Man, you are awesome! Thank you so much. I followed all your steps and I managed to replace my display. My sincere congratulations for your clear explanation from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🙏

[@ajmacdonald77]

Thanks for sharing this secret repairing LCD of Lenovo Ideapad 3. 🇮🇩

[@nelsonocasio2462]

Thank you for this video, mine worked perfect. A couple of differences but mostly the same. Mine had an extra pin connector with the ribbon that connects the the screen back to the laptop plus three small screws at the bottom of the screen frame.

[@connorwalters4980]

Thank you for the great video. A successful replacement over here!

[@12many4you]

At 4:25 you start removing the grey bottom bit below the screen before removing the black edge at around 4:55. I thought it was much easier to reverse that and start with the black rim before removing that grey bit. Is there a good reason to do it your way that i am not seeing?

[@12many4you]

Also. Thanks man. Your video helped me be brave enough to try this

[@LaptopDisassembly]

the gray bottom is on a slide mechanism. So if you try to remove the black first, there is a big chance to brake the plastic bits, that are holding the gray bottom.

[@DEATHWISHVQ]

9:59 why did you apply the tape just to take it off? I don’t know anything about computers in this matter, a buddy at school had his laptop screen cracked and I thought to look for myself on yt to see how it can be changed rather than paying as imo it doesn’t seem like a difficult task at all just patience and correct tools.

[@LaptopDisassembly]

I apply double sided tape. So when one side is stick to the plastic, I remove the other isolation layer so that the other side get open and the display get stuck to it.

[@DEATHWISHVQ]

@@LaptopDisassembly thank you!

[@FrenchieDutch]

Hey brother, Thanks for the video. What size double sided tape did you use?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Some no name brand. I have it from the local tool shop. All i know is it is 12cm. wide. it is thickж as paper. :)

[@naldikusuma1542]

I changed my screen for 15ALC6, it’s a little different but your video helped a lot! Thanks.

[@mikael4126]

Hey bro, I have the same laptop and wanting to change the display for a ips panel. Can you tell me what was different about it? Thanks a lot.

[@Bapttack_]

It’s for every different Lenovo idea pad 3 ??

[@LaptopDisassembly]

@@Bapttack_ most of them are the same.

[@vhd99ylmabasar24]

fan cleaner ?

[@PoppaDawwg]

I changed the display and now the PC does not show anything but a screen with a backlight. I connected an external display and it is the same thing. Just a blank screen. Sometimes I get flashing vertical and horizontal lines. Not sure what happened. No sounds, no beeps, no anything. Have you had this issue before? Thanks.

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Did you disconnect the battery before replacing the display. Also try to reconnect the display cable and memory.

[@PoppaDawwg]

@LaptopDisassembly Thanks for the reply. I did disconnect the battery. I will try to dismount and mount the ram chip. I tried accessing BIOS, and it seems to do something, but all I get is a back lit black screen.

[@PoppaDawwg]

@@LaptopDisassemblyOkay, the screen displays with an externally connected monitor, but the laptop screen remains black only showing the backlight

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Are you sure the display is compatible... Try with the old one to see is it behaves the same. Sometimes if the display is not compatible it shows only backlight or only white display.

[@PoppaDawwg]

@LaptopDisassembly That is a good point. This display is for multiple lenovo laptop versions.

[@averagejessebell]

Thanks for this demonstration. I understand the need to disconnect the battery, but what is the purpose of disconnecting WIFI?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

I disconnect the wifi in order to remove the whole display with the plastic. This way is much easier to work. You can replace it without removing it also.

[@averagejessebell]

@@LaptopDisassembly Thank you!

[@hooi5683]

Must i detach the entire lcd lid? Im thinking to just replace the panel by dc battery cable, but display and wifi cable still intact..

[@LaptopDisassembly]

No need to remove the wifi cables in order to replace the display. But if you gonna replace the whole display assembly you need to swap the wifi and camera.

[@Ping182MS]

Hello! My screen is showing green horizontal lines (but not the entire screen, there is a clear display up top maybe an inch) and i think every 2 to 3 hours it flickers and it goes back to normal. But when i shut down/sleep and turn it back on, the green lines showed up again. Is the problem the lcd cable loose to the display?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

If is the cable, when you wiggle the screen it should do it. Probably a loose connection on the screen side, or the screen itself. Try to move the screen to see is it changing

[@Ping182MS]

​@@LaptopDisassembly I'm using an IdeaPad 3 too btw. Do i need to follow the whole step in this video if I just disconnect and connect the LCD screen cable to the display?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

@Ping182MS yes, coz in order to have access to the back side you need to separate the display from the back cover. Can you upload a picture of the problem someplace so I can have a look.

[@Ping182MS]

@@LaptopDisassembly i've messaged you sir on DIscord.

[@rubenh213]

I did everything like you did but all I see is the Lenovo logo but then my screen stays black. I’ve unplugged everything but still the same. What could be the issue?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Did you disconnect the battery. Try to replug the display cable again. Also you may not have the backlight voltage... Reasons can be a lot... Also is the display compatible

[@rubenh213]

Yes display is compatible and yes I disconnected the battery. If the backlight is out, is there a way to fix it?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

@rubenh213 yes. But can you connect the old display, to check it there backlight on it.

[@Wanna_be_mine06]

Bro I have one serious question: can I change my Lenovo IdeaPad s145 laptops screen? I mean it's a WPC screen and I wanted to change it LCD,LED or Amoled .p.s is the processor also upgradeable?and last question,how may ssd nvme slots does it have?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

The laptop has only one nvme slot. About the display, you can change it with the same or compatible one. But I doubt you can go for AMOLED or so. It will not work due to different connector and pinouts.

[@Wanna_be_mine06]

@LaptopDisassembly thank you

[@ledpartesinformatica]

the best computer very goood

[@mikemagan2459]

Very well done!

[@JesusIsUnstoppable]

is it really necessary to remove the entire lcd from the rest of the laptop?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Yes it is way more easy, because you have to remove the middle plastic.

[@JesusIsUnstoppable]

@@LaptopDisassembly I used a plastic spunger nad it popped right off. I changed the screen in about 5 minutes. Actually i took off the screen in 5 minutes. new screen tomorrow. But i wanted to let you knwo i was able ot use the spunger nad just pop off that plastic peice without taking the rest of the assembly apart.

[@LaptopDisassembly]

@JesusIsUnstoppable sometimes the middle plastic is on a slide mechanism, and if you open it directly it breaks. For me is more easy to remove the whole assembly.

[@marylalthanzuali3764]

How much will this repair cost without warranty and also can it be covered with ADP warranty?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

If you phonically damage you display the warranty will not cover it. If everything is fine and no sign of damage, the warranty should cover it. Otherwise the display cost around 100$.

I didn't disconnect battery before removing the screen cable... I was fixing the hinge.. After finish my screen is black not showing light.. But outside screen is working... Did I mess the screen because not removing battery first?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Did you disconnect the screen while the battery was plugged in. If yes, you may burned the backlight fuse on the display.

[@charles1419]

Hi, my Ideapad 3 was drop to a matress from my table, and the screen was dim and there s some part that is still bright. What could be the problem?

If you have some sort of insurance about it, yes. If no, I highly doubt it.

There is a model on the display in the description. The price is different, depend on your region. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003740570777.html

[@dexter6314]

like ur video thanks my screen just got broken

[@kevinfernandez-bj2kf]

I followed all your instructions, but when I turned it on, there was no backlight on the screen. I tried shining a flashlight on the back screen and could see a display, but the backlight isn’t working. How can I fix this?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Did you disconnect the battery before replacing the screen. Also try to reconnect both lcd and mainboard cable.

[@kevinfernandez-bj2kf]

@@LaptopDisassembly yes i did

[@kevinfernandez-bj2kf]

btw my old screen is 1366x768 then i replace it with 1920x1080. then after that the back light is not working

[@LaptopDisassembly]

The full HD display has different LVDS lines, and sometimes if you replace the screen from HD to Full HD you need to replace the cable also, in order to support the high resolution display. There is a small chance that you killed the backlight circuit. Check around the main board connector about some fuse. Try to put back the old display and check is there any backlight. Can be just incompatible display.

[@kevinfernandez-bj2kf]

@@LaptopDisassembly the tried to put the old lcd and the backlight is not working anymore

[@ethgoin7537]

How do I know if the display is damaged or is only the connector, bc my display and connector looks like new and if I connect an external monitor it works but the display is still black

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Best way is to test with another display. It can be broken, just to test do you have a backlight.

[@emenikeokorie3680]

I have same problem. Everything looks new but no display. Screen is black. My keyboard backlight works fine. When I use an external monitor, everything is perfect. Done all software fixes I could find on KZbin to no avail. What could be the problem?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

@emenikeokorie3680 can be a bad connection. Try to disconnect and than connect back the display. But first disconect the battery.

[@emenikeokorie3680]

Oh thanks, did that but it didn't work still.

[@danmendez5394]

Hello. I cracked my screen by closing it and not realizing I had left a cherry pit on my keyboard. I couldn’t help but laugh. The replacement was successful. Thank you so much. This video was super helpful. Only thing is I broke the cover bar for the hinge. Is there anyway to put it back on? I’m thinking to just super glue it back on.

[@LaptopDisassembly]

If you did broke the pins, the only way is with super glue, or hot glue. With the second one you will be able to open it again, if needed.

[@danmendez5394]

Noted, thank you so much. I will use hot glue just to not permanently close it.

[@alfian.kalizto]

I have replaced my screen with a new one, then I realize I have not removed the battery cable and now my laptop cannot turn on at all, do you know how to fix it? help😢

This is not a good situation. Try to power on without a battery. Also check the display and battery fuse

Świetna robota ! Trochę się dziwię, że układ chłodzenia nie został wyczyszczony przy okazji bo wyglądał słabo.

[@ETgolf]

I installed the new screen but when I turned the laptop on, the screen didn't work. I believe the display connection might be the problem. But now I'm afraid to open it up again in case the new screen breaks. Any suggestions?

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Disconnect the screen from the board and test on external display with HDMI. If there is a picture, than the connection on the display side can be the problem. If you gonna remove the display, put some alcohol on a sharp blade or a opening tool and slide it.. this way you will remove the adhesive easy

[@ETgolf]

How do I disconnect the screen from the board?@@LaptopDisassembly

[@LaptopDisassembly]

@@ETgolf Lift the back cover of the laptop. It should be visible.
