how to change laptop screen

When the screen on a laptop breaks, it can be a very intimidating problem indeed for those who have never taken a laptop apart in the past before, 

In this Instructable i hope to dispel a part of that mystery in an effort to empower you so you can repair your own laptop next time it breaks. 

Things you will need
a small phillips head Screw driver 
a few small cups or containers (for the many screws on your laptop)
a small flat head screw driver (for the plastic clips on the top bezel)
and a Replacement screen ( the most expensive part, but if you look in craigslist you can get a broken laptop with a working screen fairly easy and replace your broken machine with the working parts from the other broken laptop) 

or you can go through your laptop manufacturer to order a new screen. (usually not cheap)

One more note. by perfoming these actions you will be voiding your warranty assuming you have any left on the machine. if you do have a warranty on the machine, just send it out to the Depot and get it fixed for free. 
if you have no more warranty then forget the above and get ready to get our hands dirty =D the laptops already broken any way what more can you do to it =P 

also, before touching any circuits or any thing its good to ground yourself to dispel any static electricity you may have on you. so touch some bare metal Or if you have it pull out your anti static strap and make good use of it.

Before doing anything turn off the screen. With some laptops you can do this by going to power settings but it is easiest just to turn off the whole computer. Now Dampen a cloth with water. Just so that it is damp, not dripping. Now Wipe the screen. You can apply a fair amount of pressure on the screen in necessary. Just make sure that you do not spray liquid directly on the screen. Then use a little bit dry cloth to wipe off any remain water on the screen.
