One comment
Too easy, followed the instructions without drama or problem.
I bought this as a school Chromebook for my son expecting the screen to be broken at some point and I was right. Most of the kids have cracked screens by end of year
Screen replacement was a 1/4 of the price of the original device.
However, the only replacement screen I could find to purchase (AliExpress) did not have a frame attached, nor did it have the cable.
I tested the new screen before attaching the frame.
I used the spudger to carefully prise the glued on frame from the broken screen. This was difficult and involved glass splinters as the original screen was dropped on its corner.
A knife was used to clean the original glue and glass splinters from the frame, with alcohol cleaner to finish the clean.
I used the double sided sticky tape supplied to stick the frame to the screen.
I took the cable from the old screen and attached to the new and then reversed the instructions as advised.
Very happy customer (and relieved child)
