Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 LCD Replacement

[@OfficialChannelModerator]

Great video! Bought a replacement LCD on ebay for ~$100. Lenovo repair center wanted to charge me $350 with labor to fix. Just a tip: for anyone trying to buy a replacement screen, make sure it says that it is Touch/Stylus compatible!

[@jagslab]

Can't you buy a warranty and then have it replaced?

[@OfficialChannelModerator]

@@jagslabMy warranty expired. They wanted to charge me for shipping, replacement, labor, and then return shipping. I also needed the laptop and didn’t have time to send it away for 7+ days.

[@jagslab]

@@OfficialChannelModerator I mean, you can re new your warranty. So I paid a $20 newal fee, and $120 for full coverage. The accident protection kicks in 30 days so I send it in 30 days from now and get it fixed

[@marcosmonreal4501]

​@@jagslab hey I'm in the middle of waiting for my accident protection to kick in was just hoping you could let me know if that method works? (Would hate to wait the rest of the month for nothing)

[@jagslab]

@@marcosmonreal4501 Yes i did it back in December and it covered the full repair. Didn’t have to pay for parts or labor, just the warranty

[@randomxaos]

Beginners!! ALWAYS remove battery cable from motherboard FIRST before attaching new display. i"ve fried 2 motherboards during my PC repairing career... Expensive lessons.

[@HeatherHeales]

I wish I could leave a yelp review or something. 10/10, this video was a lifesaver. I am absolutely useless with computers and now I have a crack free screen and it actually wasn’t as scary as I was anticipating! Awesome video!

[@amkotechrepairs]

Thank you so much.

[@patrickerbin3976]

It went straightforward following your tutorial. thank you very very much !

[@TheRealStuv]

Hey man. I can't express how appreciative I am of this video. I have been bombarded with issues regarding my screen and touch screen digitizer and getting a complete run around from multiple repair shops. Basically, I paid for a repair, first store did not move the touch control board/digitizer and place it underneath the bezel as you have here. Resulted in that part breaking, and heat escaping and damaging the case. Of course, I don't know any better, and a different store (same company) requests a new quote for a repair. I said no, bought a part online and found your wonderful video. Thank you so very much for taking your time on this and uploading it!

[@nicolaceroni7930]

I bought the same computer a few days ago, just for information, after how long of use did the screen give you problems? sorry for the English but is google translate

[@TheRealStuv]

@@nicolaceroni7930 I had the computer for maybe 4 months before I had the screen issue. The screen suffered physical damage which resulted in my issue: It was loaded onto a luggage cart without my knowledge while traveling and was then damaged. Just handle the laptop safely and I'm sure yours will be just fine.

[@afternoononthebeach6818]

I have this computer, and the screen got damaged, this is a true life saver! The company wanted to charge me 350 for it!

[@amkotechrepairs]

Hi, Thank you for watching the tutorial.

[@cotasa]

Thank you, I did it without problems because of you

Where did you order the screen and how much was it?

[@Status_Bleach]

Do you have a link to the new LCD?

[@racknid21]

Very helpful, thanks for making the video! One issue I ran into is that the screen didn't come on after swapping in the new one. I tried going back to the old screen (that was cracked) and it didn't come on either. Uh oh... As a troubleshooting step, I tried plugging an external monitor into the HDMI port to verify the laptop was working otherwise. For whatever reason, both the laptop screen and external monitor fired right up at that point and everything was good to go going forward. I also had to do a Windows update as mentioned elsewhere in the comments to get the touch screen to work after the swap.

[@user-iy1jq7zs3g]

Thank you very helpful! I purchased my replacement screen from Amazon $129.00 I got a 4 year warranty for an additional $30.00 I thought it was worth it.

[@amkotechrepairs]

Your welcome glad the video helped.

[@rachelboi2073]

Can you link the screen you got? Thank you, if you can!

[@stellag3000]

This video was very helpful, but can you link the screen that you used? Thank you!

[@elveggoloco]

Thanks so much for this good instruction. I have a Flex 5, two years old, that has been having some display-issues, most notably some 'foggy' appearance around the edges of the screen and vertical green bars that come and go depending on what's being displayed, but none of this appears in video that goes out the HDMI to another screen, indicating an issue with the screen itself rather than the video processing, although recently using the HDMI connection has started making the video freeze altogether on both screens. If I can at least fix the hardware problem with the screen I'll be happy enough to avoid having to buy a new laptop for a while. It also has issues with the battery apparently not holding a charge, but that's another discussion and I can live with that for the time being.

[@amkotechrepairs]

Hi Thank you for watching the video, sorry for stating the obvious have you installed the latest drivers, i would also go directly to the manufacturers website and update the graphics drivers from there, please let me know.

[@elveggoloco]

@@amkotechrepairs Yes, did a Windows reset and verified from Lenovo that drivers are up to date, and the problem persists.

[@amkotechrepairs]

@@elveggoloco How is the speed via ethernet ?

[@yeah_boi]

Where did you get the replacement lcd from?

[@FarzinDavari]

Awesome video! Thanks for posting it!

[@amkotechrepairs]

Hey Thank you for your comment, you are welcome to buy me a coffee, please see the link below www.buymeacoffee.com/amkotechrepairs

[@FarzinDavari]

I followed your exact instruction and I faced the same issue with touch screen not working. I updated windowless and libraries, I even changed the screen again, still touch screen does not work. Apparently I should have HID Compliant Touch in my Deviceanager, and I do not have it. You had the same issue as well. How did you fix it? Thanks!

[@Justdigit2]

Thanks..... Is it a diy job to only replace the digitizer?? Or. Not?? For a phone it's not recommended I know.

[@stuartvaughan-williams7257]

My microphones =just make a very sound static sound so I plan to replace them. Would I have to do a complete screen removal as show here to do so? Thanks.

[@pcmedicbiz]

Excellent!! Thanks so much :)

[@amkotechrepairs]

Thank you appreciated

[@luisantoniovillegasl2914]

hello Anko an excellent tutorial very well explained in detail I changed the screen and everything went well but I have a problem with the bottom part of the screen,the touch does not work where the start menu is executed this can be due to what?

[@amkotechrepairs]

More thank likely its a faulty digitizer, but just try and clean the connectors with alcohol and see if that works.

[@mr.quantum1518]

Hello I got a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5-14ALC Convertible can I use any Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 display on it?

[@swejeettaparia2588]

where did you get the LCD from I mean from which site? Can you please send a link of that too.

[@amkotechrepairs]

Hi, which country are you in ?

[@lisanabil1572]

Hi i have an the same laptop but the problem is that the hing broke and disconected from the screen and breaking it in the process i was wondering i i can just remove the top part of the laptop and buy the top part with hinges then remove my old hinges and attach the new top part with its hunges?

[@amkotechrepairs]

You should be able to but I would recommend taking apart the old one to make sure you can remove the hinges.

[@lisanabil1572]

thank you and sorry for bothering but just one more question, do you know where i can find the top part iv looked everywhere yet i cant find one that is also a touch screen like the ideapad as mine stopped working when the screen broke.@@amkotechrepairs

[@amkotechrepairs]

Hi You can check on Ebay there are available.

[@lisanabil1572]

thank youu@@amkotechrepairs

[@amkotechrepairs]

your welcome@@lisanabil1572

[@Igwig]

Many thanks :o) My touchscreen functionality didn't work either. I eventually fixed it by: Device Manager > Action > Devices and Printers > under Devices it showed the laptop had a driver error > Troubleshoot > Reboot = fixed Wayhay!

[@lovelymohankrishna4714]

bro can you replace the hinger and broken screen

[@DrDoomhub]

I can! im located in orange california, would you like a price quote?

[@magdalenadebowska9433]

Man... Why did you think it's a good idea to skip the putting screws back part? I mixed lenghts. Two screws got stucked, caused one bump next to keyboard, because screw went through, another one is just there loose, not wanting to go through or out...

[@amkotechrepairs]

Oh bummer, my apologies, Just for future reference if you are attempting to repair make a template for your screws so you know exactly where they go back.

[@GoldButterfly4]

Lesson learnt 💔 but despite this, the fixing went really well, you still have the best tutorial, thank you

[@amkotechrepairs]

@@GoldButterfly4 Thank you much appreciated, in future ill try to add a template at the beginning of the video, I have just repaired a macbook and showed how I use a template, please look out for the video should up early next week. Thanks again Amko

[@dermottconnolly9309]

I use a pill box with lots of little compartments. Replicate the the back of the laptop as you put the screws in the box.

[@FrancescaRomanaBugionovi]

Hi! Thanks for the video! Can i request a link for the lcd? I lived in Europe! Thanks in advance!

How much does it cost for screen replacement?

[@amkotechrepairs]

Hi best to look on Amazon or Ebay

[@shooter3267]

Hi, had the same problem with the Lenovo touchscreen driver(showing a yellow warning triangle in Device Manager). Have tried looking everywhere for the correct Wacom software but no luck. The laptop was originally win 11 so I even tried a Win 10 download, still no luck!. Was the driver on your laptop a Wacom pen driver? Any info would be greatly appreciated as it's driving me nuts :))

[@amkotechrepairs]

Hi Thank you for getting in touch, I would recommend you do a windows update and click on optional updates and check all the boxes then update. I am sure this will work. Apologies for the late reply, please let me know how you get on. good luck

[@AleksandrPilosov]

I found a fix for this issue (the touchscreen stops working after getting out of sleep or hibernate mode): 1. Go to "Device Manager" -> "Human Interface Devices" 2. If "Wacom Device" has yellow warning triangle - right click on it and uninstall the device, then choose "Scan for hardware changes" by right-clicking on any other device or from "Action" tab of the menu 3. "Mice and other pointing devices" -> find and disable "HID-compliant mouse" (the one that has Location set to "on Wacom Device" in its properties) 4. Restart your laptop (this step is necessary) Please reply or like if this fix worked for you. Thank you.

[@iCannaGro]

Too bad the original gravity sensor isn't applicable to the new screen... so now we need another driver. Oh well. Maybe the last driver wasn't compatible that's why it ended up breaking 😊😊

[@2upcCoUk]

My new screen when flip to tablet mode turns off to sleep. Did you fix yours?
