Introduction
This is a step-by-step guide to replace the screen of your Abask J05 dashcam.
The screen is a 1.5” thick, double-layered pane of glass with a thin liquid crystal layer in-between. Its function is to display information. A broken or faulty screen could prevent information from being displayed properly. If your screen flickers uncontrollably, freezes repeatedly, and/or turns black/white, it might be in need of replacement. Before replacing the screen, be sure to review the troubleshooting guide as there might be other reasons your screen is malfunctioning that don’t require replacement.
