Today I show how to remove and replace screen in an Acer Aspire One A0751h netbook (Model ZA3).
This tutorial may work for some other Acer Aspire One netbooks. If it works for you, please mention the laptop model in comment after the post.
Before you start, make sure the netbook turned off and battery removed.
STEP 1.
There are six rubber seals on the screen bezel.
You’ll find six screws securing the screen bezel under these seals.
You can remove the screw seal with a sharp object.
After screw seals removed, glue them somewhere on the bezel so they don’t get lost.
Remove all six screws found under the seals.
STEP 2.
Start separating the screen bezel from the display cover with your fingers.
STEP 3.
Continue separating the screen bezel until it’s removed.
STEP 4.
The screen bezel has been removed.
STEP 5.
Remove two screws from the right side of the screen assembly.
These screws securing the screen to the mounting bracket.
STEP 6.
Remove two more screws from the left side of the screen.
STEP 7.
Disconnect the web camera cable.
Separate the microphone from the cover (it’s glued to the cover with double sticky tape).
STEP 8.
Now you can separate the screen from the display cover.
STEP 9.
Place the screen face down on the keyboard.
Carefully separate the video cable from the back of the screen (the cable glued to the screen with double sticky tape).
Disconnect the video cable connector from the screen.
Now you can remove the screen and replace it with a new one.
The best way to find a new compatible screen is searching by the screen model number.
In my Acer Aspire One A0751h netbook the screen had the following model number: B116XW02
This is a 11.6″ LED-backlit screen.
This screen is relatively inexpensive.
Here you can buy a brand new replacement screen for Acer Aspire One netbook for about $70-80.
In the previous post I explain how to remove keyboard, memory, wireless card and hard drive from same Acer Aspire One A0751h netbook.

Help!!
I have a white screen!
First of all the laptop did the usual green on te screen, so took it apart and wiggled around the cable, screen would work so I thought I’d have a quick look for a broken wire at which point screen went white! I have replaced the video cable but still have a white screen?
Beeln plugged in to a monitor and works fine but I find it odd that a cable could cause the screen to blow?
Thanks

thanks – it appears to be a cable problem – replacements seem to be about $25 on ebay as far as I can see

nick,
First of all, test your laptop with an external monitor. If the problem appears only on the laptop screen and external video work normal, the problem is somewhere inside the display panel.
Turn on the laptop while it’s disassembled. Try moving the video cable. If moving the cable affect video on the laptop, probably it’s bad cable. Replace the cable.
If moving the cable doesn’t affect image on the screen at all, probable it’s bad LCD screen. In this case replace the screen.

I have recently had a problem with my aspire one netbook , when you switch it on some times the screen is completely green and then when it boots the background has various patches of purple colour – these go if you wiggle the laptop lid up and down but come back and make the screen very difficult to read. It is out of warranty and acer want large amounts of cash to even look at it. I followed you instructions to open the screen to check if any cables were loose but everything was in tight – do you have any ideas on what else to try.

thank you so much, it is so clear and nicely explained.
I’m looking towards changing the inverter could you locate it in the pictures?
would you by extraordinary chance have the model number of the inverter in your laptop (if you still have it?)
whatever, your posting was really useful

Thank you very much kind sir, it was surprisingly an absolute doddle! I’ve messed around with laptops before and are a real pain, but your instructions were very clear and concise.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement video cable – the one from the mobo to the display? I cannot seem to find it anywhere…Thanks in advance!

Great help. Many thanks. My laptop has a charging problem and it looks as though I’ll have to replace the main circuit board as it is all integrated. Anything to look out for when removing this?
Cheers
