Acer Aspire 5742 Screen Assembly Replacement

Introdução

If your screen is cracked or non-functional you have two options:

  • You can replace the entire laptop lid assembly including the LCD panel, web cam, microphone, WiFi aerials, case and hinges, as described in this guide. You may wish to do this if the plastic case is damaged.
  • If only the LCD panel needs replacing then there is much less preliminary disassembly to do, but bear in mind that the LCD is delicate and you need to take care not to crack your new one. For this, see Acer Aspire 5742 LCD Panel Replacement

If the problem is simply that the screen is blank though undamaged as far as you can see, there is a small chance that the video cable needs reseating either at the motherboard or at its connection behind the LCD panel.

    • Remove the 3 Phillips #0 screws from the fan bracket.

    • Lift the fan up and place it back down above the heatsink.

    • The heatsink has a strip of adhesive on the underside securing it to the plastic body.

    • The motherboard can be lifted from the side and and then to the right to free the I/O port from the enclosure. Some force may be required to release the heatsink.

    • The motherboard can now be completely removed from the laptop enclosure.

    • Note how the cables leading into each of the hinges are routed, then release them from their guides.

    • Whilst supporting the lid, remove 2 screws from each hinge. You will now be able to lift the lid assemble away from the body.

    • The hinge screws screw into brass bushes set in plastic pillars attached to the base of the laptop case. A common fault is that these pillars break away from the base leaving the hinge largely unsupported. Take care not to strain the other hinge whilst its screws are still in place.

    • Repair is difficult but a possible method might be to glue the pillars back in place with 2-part rapid epoxy glue with the hinge still attached, before removing the screws. Ensure it's supported and correctly positioned while the glue sets. Only then, remove the screws and build up more epoxy as reinforcement around the base of the pilars.

Do of the these steps need to be taken to the above quote? Or can I just do the topside under keyboard steps. Thanks so much.
