How to replace screen on Lenovo G560 laptop

In this post I explain how to replace LCD screen on Lenovo G560 laptop.

My Lenovo G560 laptop had an LED-backlit LCD screen installed. I’ll explain how to search for a compatible replacement LCD screen at the end of this post.

Before you start laptop disassembly make sure it’s turned off and battery removed.

STEP 1.

You’ll have to remove six screw covers located on the screen bezel.

Two covers on the lower part of the bezel and four more covers on the upper part of the bezel.

You can remove screw covers with a sharp object.

After all covers removed, remove six screws securing the screen bezel to the LCD back cover.

STEP 2.

Insert your fingers between the screen bezel and LCD back cover as it shown on the following picture.

Wiggle the bezel a little bit and start separating it from the back cover.

There are hidden plastic latches securing the bezel.

STEP 3.

Continue separating the bezel on the display sides.

You can use a small piece of soft plastic for that. Insert it between the bezel and back cover and slowly move along the side. At the same time continue removing the bezel with your fingers.

STEP 4.

The screen bezel has been removed.

STEP 5.

Carefully separate the LCD screen from the back cover so you can access screws on the side.

These screws securing the LCD screen to the mounting bracket.

Remove four screw on the right side of the display and then form more screws on the left side.

STEP 6.

Separate the LCD screen from the back cover and place it face down on the keyboard.

STEP 7.

Now you can access the video cable which is plugged into the screen.

STEP 8.

Remove sticky tape securing the connection.

Unplug the video cable connector from the LCD screen as it shown on the following picture.

STEP 9.

Now you should be able to remove the LCD screen from the laptop and replace it with a new one.

The best way to find a new compatible LED LCD screen would be searching by the model number from the back of the screen.

My Lenovo G560 laptop had the following LCD screen installed: model No: B156XW02 v.2

If your laptop has a different screen installed, just search by the model number as I did.
