In this guide I explain how to replaced LED-backlit LCD screen on Dell Inspiron 1750 laptop.
It’s very easy to disassemble the display panel on a Dell Inspiron 1750 and the entire LCD screen replacement process took me about 30 minutes.
Before you start, make sure the laptop is turned off and battery removed.
STEP 1.
The LCD screen bezel secured to the display cover by hidden plastic latches, there are no screws.
Insert your fingers between the bezel and screen somewhere in the webcam area.
Wiggle the screen bezel and separate it from the display cover.
STEP 2.
Continue separating the bezel on the top of the display assembly.
STEP 3.
Move to the bottom part of the bezel.
Lift up the bezel and separate it from the display cover in the hinge area.
STEP 4.
Remove the bezel.
STEP 5.
There are eight screws securing the LCD screen to the display cover.
Remove two screws on the top of the display.
Loosen (do not remove completely) six screws on the bottom of the display.
STEP 6.
Carefully separate the display cover from the LCD screen just enough to access screws on the side of the screen.
Remove two screws securing the right side of the screen to the hinge bracket.
STEP 7.
Remove two more screws on the left side of the screen.
STEP 8.
Now you can place the LCD screen face down on the keyboard.
STEP 9.
The video cable connector is located on the bottom part of the screen.
STEP 10.
Remove sticky tape securing the video cable connection.
Unplug the video cable from the LCD screen.
STEP 11.
The LCD screen is ready for the replacement.

@ Ed Corrigan,
Most likely this laptop has a magnetic lid close switch – a small magnet (located somewhere inside the display) activates the switch (located somewhere inside the laptop body) when the laptop is closed.
Can you get image on the external monitor? Maybe there is nothing wrong with the screen and you have a failed motherboard.
Make sure the video cable connector properly.

Where is the switch located that turns the screen on and off when you open/close the lid?
I have replaced damaged LCD cable and tried a new screen but still no image at all on screen.
Suddenly thought about this switch but don’t know where it is! ….must be around the hinge somewhere?

@ Mike,
I don’t have a close up picture of these cable. Not sure why you are experiencing a problem. Probably wires have some memory and it’s shouldn’t be very difficult to figure out how to route them.
Take a look at this page: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1750/en/sm/display.htm#wp1109848
Not sure if it helps. Pics are pretty small.

I was going to modify my wireless card’s antenna so that in the case that i need or want to I could add an external antenna for better range. However, when i took the lid off of the laptop base, and the cables out of the hinges, I neglected to notice how the cables were routed around the hinges. This includes the video cable, webcam cable, and the antenna cables. Could you post pictures of how these cables are routed? I’ve searched the web, tried many times to get them back to the way I think they should go, but nothing I try looks like it did before. If you could, thanks. If not I’ll keep trying. Thanks.

@ Lou,
Here’s Dell™ Inspiron™ 17 Service Manual.
The manual explains how to remove the palmrest assembly and access the video cable.
Basically you’ll have to remove the palmrest assembly and disassemble the display panel in order to access and replace the video cable.
Hope it helps.
