The following guide explains how to remove and replace damaged or failed LCD screen on an Asus U56E laptop.
As you see, in my case the LCD screen was cracked.
Before you start, make sure the laptop is turned off.
STEP 1.
Unlock and remove the main battery.
STEP 2.
Remove six screw covers located on the screen bezel.
There are four square screw covers on the upper side of the display and two more round covers on the lower part.
You can remove the screw cover with a sharp object.
After the screw cover removed, glue it somewhere on the bezel so you don’t loose it during the disassembly process. The cover has sticky tape on the bottom.
STEP 3.
Remove all screws found under those covers.
STEP 4.
Insert your fingers between the screen bezel and LCD screen and start separating the bezel from the display back cover.
There are hidden plastic latches securing the bezel. You’ll have to wiggle the bezel in order to unlock hidden latches.
STEP 5.
After you separated the bezel from the display back cover on the upper side of the display assembly, move the lower part.
STEP 6.
Remove the screen bezel.
STEP 7.
Remove black tape from the left display hinge.
I’m not sure about the purpose of this tape but it was blocking one of the screen screws. I guess it’s securing display cables somehow.
STEP 8.
Remove black tape from the right hinge.
STEP 9.
Remove four screws securing the LCD screen assembly to the display back cover.
STEP 10.
Now you should be able to separate the LCD screen from the display back cover.
Place the LCD screen face down on the palmrest/keyboard assembly.
STEP 11.
Now you can access the video cable and disconnect it from the LCD screen.
STEP 12.
Unglue clear tape securing the video cable connector.
STEP 13.
Unplug the video cable connector from the LCD screen.
STEP 14.
Remove the damaged/failed LCD screen and replace it with a new one.
Assemble the laptop following all disassembly steps in the reverse direction.
