This is the best lcd replacement video I've seen on youtube. Ignore that other person who asked you to edit it. I enjoy the detail, as it is a detailed procedure. I'm a little stuck. Unlike you, I removed the back layers because the screen was broken from the apple logo and I needed to flatten out dent on the outside housing. I can't for the life of me figure out the correct order of the layers. Is there anyway you can help with this? Thanks in advance.
Flattening out should have been done before you open the screen assy first :-) you push with your thumbs until the debt goes out or plastic if it was the logo that broke. Unless it was really bad and u needed a hammer to do it. The order is white non see through paper than thick stiff plastic (these two are the backlight so if you cracked this stuff plastic you done for) than shiny sheet than one see through sheet and than another shiny sheet. The first shiny sheet and the front shiny sheet are just a bit different and even if you don't put them in correct order it will work but they should be placed correctly. Let me know if this works out for you!
Milan Stojic Wow, that was fast! Thank you. One more question. I've got them in the order you described. but on the layer closets to the lcd, one side is textured and the other side is smooth. Which side goes up towards the lcd?
The side that is textured goes to the LCD, smooth side goes in. I'm sure you'll have spots and marks on the screen but it will be functional if you haven't damaged the backlight plastic.
Milan Stojic Everything is put back together and it looks great. Thank you for your guidance. Unfortunately when my girlfriend dropped a bottle of perfume on the back of it, it cracked the thick white plastic back light sheet right in the center, as well as the lcd. I couldn't find a cheap replacement for the broken back light sheet. So she'll just have to deal with that, but now it's at least usable. She's happy. You might have even helped me get laid tonight. ;)
This is an admirable video. I do a bunch of screens every year. This was helpful. I would say this add in for whomever reads this post. Watch out using any high heat guns. The plastic film diffusers behind the screen may distort. I used a Hairdryer instead of heat gun and just worked the bezel with fingernails at first just to see.. It lifted a little in an area and I worked a credit card inside and then slowly worked around it I had a mini metal spatula available at BBB and used it. The tool this guy has looked like it worked well. Be patient. The other comment is that as I suspected when it came to how this gentlemen released the cables that is also accomplished by heating the perimeter of the screen until it can tilt toward the keyboard top first (just move the glass screen toward the keyboard as you would closing the lid. them once lying face down those cables are really easy to release and they don't stress. Thank you Milan for posting this video.
Rhe frames on my screen are really slwow dissepearing thx in advance
good vid,, best one i have seen ..good work :)
I watched your video several times before attempting to replace my wife's damaged screen. You're right, if we follow all the sets carefully, the replacement process is easy. My wife is happy one again with the repair, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world.
The best LCD replacement video I have seen.
👍🏻
Hey Milan, Saturday I replaced the LCD on my mid 2011 macbook air & all worked great! Thanks so much for your detailed instructions! I have a couple of observations/suggestions:
1) I got my painting knife at AC moore, for those who are looking for one.
2) For some reason, the part you had said was the hardest, which was the removal of the LCD using the pryer and the heat gun, went extremely smoothly & took about 1 minute to do.
3) Despite trying to be very careful not to (per your instructions) I had a lot of trouble avoiding touching the backlight translucent layers beneath the LCD. I dropped a miniscrewdriver on it which left a mark, plus a couple of other times, leaving quite a few little marks on the film. I was quite worried that after I put it all together that it would look awful, however none of it showed at all and the screen looks perfect.
4) Despite the fact that you were very clear about making sure to put the middle ribbon cable back exactly as it was folding, I, somehow managed to put it on backwards &, of course nothing worked. Fortunately, I put 2&2 together & put it how it was supposed to go. For those of you planning on doing it, make sure that you can see the white stripe on the cable after you install it.
All in all, everything went well & smoothly thanks to your detailed instructions. Thanks again for taking the time to do this, I really appreciate it!
Sincerely,
Brian Hiltscher
I know I am quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream new movies online?
@Justus Jaxx flixportal :P
@Augustine Willie thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it !
@Justus Jaxx No problem =)
Don't order repairs through the above links. Guy does not respond. No contact info on websites. You've been warned!
You have a gift, I don't know how you removed the screen so well, I completely f***ed mine haha! But brilliant video, best one I could find for this machine
great video man, never doing this fucking repair again though. Wanted to kill myself separating the screen from the backlight, and again when trying to attach those fucking cables.
Then the screen didn't work. Now I have to go yell at China.
Long shot because this was posted so long ago, but my screen is completely black. I hear the Apple sound when I boot it up, but nothing on the screen. I flipped the ribbon connection but it didn’t help. I did damage my backlight screen with the heat gun. It curled slightly in the corner. Would that cause the whole screen to be black? I tried to try my old screen but nothing with that one either. Although the old screen was severely cracked and little shards of glass are everywhere so I’m not shocked. Help 😩
You're a f***ing legend! I finally made it to repair this thing after several hours of focused work. I took it to a repair store here in Bern, Switzerland and he wanted to change the hole assembly so i decided to replace it by my own. I costs me around 40 bucks in the end (he wanted 400!). I did a tiny scratch on the back sheet but it's not too bad, you won't see it straight away. The backlight cable instead was a b****. It was fine in the beginning but then started to have a loose connection and I had to take out the bezel again. I noticed that there was a cable like thing on the old LCD, that had the same shape as the backlight cable. I chucked that one in as well and then the connection was fine. Milan, I can't thank you enough for your super detailed guide you uploaded here! Now my Mac book air will live on for some more years to come!
Cheers
I`m glad it was helpful!
Just successfully replace the screen on my laptop. Boy was I sweating! No way I could have done it without this video! I was a bit naughty and get a lot of crap, fingerprints and scratches on the panel behind the screen. I used a brush to remove any particles. Once the screen was back on, it looked great! Can’t see the scratches or fingerprints at all. Thank you so much for this video! All the best
Hello very good video, but I have a problem. I did everything as you Indicate, but the screen is not seen, This very dark, if put to light logrogro see something. I Realized That does not turn the LED cover and lcd THEREFORE :( not see. Is there any solution to this problem.
I hope you can help me. Thank you very much
Take a look at the little backlight cable if you plugged it in correctly. A lot of times people flip this upside down or not properly straight in or sometimes not even at all
Thanks Milan, this is fantastic. As I was just about to kick off I stumbled across your instructions, and immediately put a halt to the whole thing, until I go get myself all the tools you've shown. Many thanks - and I'll get back once I have triumphed in replacing my screen! :)
Top rated excellent job Man. Thank You!! A five star for me *****
Awesome ! I was able to replace my MBA screen thanks to this video. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
what he said is true. i really fuck it up,buying the parts again
I have got the boot up noise after trouble shooting. No backlight or new screen illumination....this is the EDP right hand cable? Does this mean the left one is good?
if there is no backlight i would check the backlight cable. there are 2 cables connecting the new screen. the wide one, and the small bent up flex cable in the middle which is the backlight cable. people very often plug this upside down as they dont know how to roll this cable up properly.
Hi Milan.
Please help. I have damaged the thin diffusers and I have ordered some more. They've arrived but I don't know what colour order they need to be. I know the white goes to the rear but what about the other 3?
What's the name of the tape I have tried double stick tape and that didn't not work, and for you guys who installed your new screen with black light not working it the way you installed the smaller connection it is in backward I know it happen to me.
3m core 4000 series I believe. What I do I go on ebay and type in iPad double sided tape, or iPad repair tape and order what I need
I think it's a bad replacement screen. Sending it back after seeing a screw driven into the board. I tested the old cracked screen to be sure the backlight does work, and it does, so,
I guess it's a bad screen. I lined up the 2 boards of the screens to compare them and noticed and small screw driven into the board.
If you say it works with the old screen, than that would be it. The screw might have damaged the circuit that powers on the LED strip on the small board from the screen. It should be close to the LED strip connector on that board. Just get a replacement and not bother with it.
That cat came in the most critical moment!
Just had my screen replaced by him ! ...took him 20 minutes and it looks FLAWLESS. I seriously almost paid out the ass to mail my macbook to another state to have it repaired for almost 3x the price, but it LITERALLY took him 20 minutes and it looks amazing.
already left a review on your website, can't begin to explain how amazing my screen looks, you did an amazing job.
thanks again ! (:
Glad I could help out. Thanks a lot! :-)
I fucking did it. It took 9 hours.. but i fucking did it. I had to look at another video to attach the cables back. cool vid, man. thanks.
Proud of you man. Not for successfully replacing the screen, but having patience to sit there for 9h LOL :) good job
The power sound would signal, but no light on the new screen. Old cracked screen still lights up but is a unusable.
+D-LASH might want to check the direction of the backlight cable, there are two white stripes on it and they should be facing outwards
Hi Milan, I have a question for you, I swapped the screen to 11"macbook air according to your video.
When I turn on the notebook, the display backlight does not turn on so nothing can be seen.. Where could I make a mistake? Thank you for your response. Peter
If you haven't blown a backlight fuse on the board, you probably didn't correctly plug in the little cable in the middle of the screen control board. Very often people forget it or plug it in upside down.
@@milanstojic3295 Thank you for the quick reply. Meanwhile, I disassembled the lcd display again and found that I had destroyed the thin flex cable. So saving my Macbook air is over. well thank you
How Many grades do You use the health gun?
My friend's macbook has no internal damage but when it accidentally slipped from my hands it fell and the upper and lower corner bent. I have seen that it's possible to replace the metal surrounding the screen but how about the metal on the outermost part of the macbook and the metal surrounding the keyboard. Thank you.
Hi Milan, please could you say me more or less the thickness of the 3M Core 4000 series tape you used in this video? I have another robust 3M tape which is 1.1 mm and I don't know if it is OK
Watching this video in 2017 and wondering if you could help me please. My screen has ink on almost half the screen. Which screen do I need. I can't ship to you, too far away 😂😂
Hey Milan, so I've followed your awesome instructions but having removed the screen I've discovered the underneath layer/sheet has a big scratch/crack across it, help! Do I ignore it or do I have to replace that too? And if I have to replace it what am I looking for when I'm searching on eBay…?! Thanks in advance!!
Do you mind telling me where do you get the part from? I get these for $175 which is pricey but I understand if you don't like to disclose your vendor
$175 for this lcd??? You can buy this on eBay for less than $40 if you are in the U.S.!
Sorry I meant the 13" not this one.
U won't have much luck finding those for much less unless you are prepared to order them from China in bulk. Prices of this screen have risen recently.
Next time have the cat spray for dust, might as well put him to work, too. LOL, just kidding. Thank you for sharing.
That was an intense video. I've worked on desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones before but never a mac. After seeing this, I feel confident to take on the challenge. Thank you.
ive always stayed away from Air screen replacement until I watched your video. Thank you. I owe you one rakija now :)
I replaced my screen using this video. Thanks for such a great video! Follow the directions, take your time, and it will work out.
you are good buddy, you have the patience, I enjoyed it truly very nice, detailed and informative, good job once again. Bravo
I have sound but no light. Any advice to trouble shoot or how to replace the light?
what do you mean by that? computer turns on, you can see the picture but its very dark? did you try to replace the screen already? did you spill something on it? i need a bit more info so i can answer your question.
Milan Stojic if the screen sheets are damaged will that prevent the screen from showing display properly? I am getting a dark screen after replacing the screen and cant figure out why - thx
Hello, which kind of scotch you used? Could you please tell me the code name?
Thanks! Great tutorial!
Your video was great help to me! This was my first time to fix the LCD and It was a success! Thank you.
i did everything as on video but when i try to turn on my mac it doesnt play sound and black screen. i connected my phone via usb and it starts charging which means macbook starts
YOu need the camera position right :-D . Btw nice overall!
Wow, you did a great job with this video. I've noticed that some of the best content on TH-cam has few votes and is hard to find. If I'd found this video a couple weeks ago I'd be done already.
Can you please clarify what tape you used (or would be appropriate)?
My friend's macbook has no internal damage but when it accidentally slipped from my hands it fell and the upper and lower corner bent. I have seen that it's possible to replace the metal surrounding the screen but how about the metal on the outermost part of the macbook and the metal surrounding the keyboard. Thank you.
Yes, you can replace the palm rest. It's pretty easy if you know how. Look up some keyboard repair videos
Really thanks a lot!!!! I did it first time exactly like on video , and everything was perfect
Thanks so much for reply. Is it possible to cut out polarizer from another lcd and use that?
Thank you very much. I work in an environment where the users are hard on their systems but cannot afford the damage to them.
Thanks very much, Milan. After a few anxious moments I've now got a fully working Air. And yes, I watched the whole 42 minutes and several bits over and over again to make sure I was doing it correctly. I don't have a cat though......👍👍
Glad it helped!!!
Awesome video! Replacement successful. Thanks!
Milane pogledaj mailbox plz, potrebna mi je pomoc..
How many mm is the adhesive strip?
5mm and 10mm
Thank you that was very helpful. I've just ordered one.
hello
Please, what is the name of this tool what you use to open bezel
Where can I find it
Thank you!
Painting knife, and no idea. I bought it in a local hardware store. Small, not a chain
You are a master, i will replace one in one week, waiting for the spare.
Excellent AAA ++++
Excellent. It worked for me too! Like Milan the second most difficult task is removing the connectors and LCD glass in one piece. But the hardest part is keeping Kitty and her fluff out of the proceedings!
👍🏻
Hey buddy, what doble side sticky tape you bought?
Someone told me it’s a ribbon that needs to be change
i didnt see any film sheets came out on your video...on my three of them came when i peeled off the screen(some of them are scratched) and there is another one thin plastic remaning on assembly...what are they for?do they have to be replaced or do they,come with a new screen?
Carlos Montoya That's because I don't take them out. If you would follow what I did you would never have them come out. Now you have permanently damaged them and should get yourself a new assembly to put on that computer if you want it to look any good. I am pretty specific about not touching those sheets. Especially the one in the back
Awesome job dude, how long have you been doing this. I am going to replacing a screen for a MacBook Air 11 inch soon. Hopefully all goes well.
Too damn long. I moved onto Networking and Sys admin work
Sir could you specify what double sided tape do you use?
How do I replace the led strip for the back light?
Wow men thanks! You are awesome, you really help me
Great video, thank you for making it.
i replaced the screen, however theres no backlight. i can make out the display when i shine a torch, any help?
Mac Tech Check the backlight cable. You most likely ripped it or flipped it upside down
Bruv, you are A FUCKING GENIUS! !!! Thanks dude it was flipped the wrong way!!!
Mac Tech 😄 you welcome! That's what usually happens
Same issue but no backlight even when cable flipped?
Tracy Ehle Ripped/damaged cable, blown backlight fuse, or backlight driver. Possibly even damaged the LCD cable connector that shorted the above out. Seek professional help, don't mess it up worse
My polarizer sheet got dmaged by too much heat. Can I buy this seperately?
Sure you can. They will most likely come in a conditional n you wouldnt want to to put them in anyway. These need to be shipped in a sealed environment which nobody will do. When you assembly it all jt will look like crap! Just buy a broken assembly and use it for spare parts. Dont make the same mistake again.
what do i do if i am missing a small screw of the last 2...can i turn on the screen if those 2 screws are not in, thank you.
Christopher John Lindstrom not sure which screw you are referring to. Neither screw is essential for laptops operation
Thanks so much for reply. Is it possible to cut out polarizer from another lcd and use that?
Sorry Laura, you can't. This is not a sheet of paper.
how do you change the cable?
do you have to take apart the LCD from its layers?
Proper way is to take off the bezel only. Nothing else needs to be removed to get to the cable. Careful not to break the lcd
Very good explanation and good video.
thanks
Zdravo Milan!
Thank you for your great videos. One quick question: I've damaged the glass that is behind the rear reflective sheets. Is there any chance to fix it without replacing the whole thing (screen panel)?
that sux. u broke the backlight plexiglas and you will need to replace it in order to get even backlight on the screen. replacing this is not easy, but if you can find a new part it will be good.
Copy that, thank you for your quick response. I didn't break it, it has been overheated during removing the bezel and now there is a spot in the corner which is annoying.
5 mins in, I agrees this is the best video on screen replacement. great instructions and knowledge!
Thanks! 👍🏻
Hi, where I can get the tools? Thx
Can you send me what type of tape that is
Hi Milan, thanks for creating this extremely detailed DIY video! I am preparing to replace my damaged lcd, have ordered to LCD, and the double sided tape (5mm&10mm). Do you, by chance, have a complete list of tools required for the job? Any recommendations on where to acquire the tools?
Thanks in advance!
Brian
Hi Brian. You need a pair of scissors, Philips screwdriver, thin pryer (metal), painting knife, heat gun, and a pair of tweezers. Wherever you can find these buy them. Online or in local stores
OK, thanks, any chance you could tell me where you got your pryer and painting knife?
+Brian Hiltscher try eBay. Look for the tools that look the same as ones in my video
Thank you that was very helpful.
Great Video! Successfully uninstalled old and installed new lcd screen. However, the LED Backlight does not come on. reconnected all connections and no luck. Any advice?
Check if you flipped the backlight strip connector upside down. Many people do this
I guess I was one of the many. Thanks so much. Success.
No problem
I tore the ribbon cable that connects to the inverter is there any way to fix that?
MaviHD Yes. by replacing the backlight strip, in which case you need to take all the sheets lit and remove the backlight plastic which cracks very easily, meaning you will most likely destroy your assembly. Second option is buying the assembly and replacing it with a new screen in here already. your options now are very expensive.
thank you a lot you helped me a lot
you are amazing!
Can we do it without heat?
You could try. Will be very dificult
@@milanstojic3295 ohk thnx. Well i punched the laptop and damaged it, so the procedure will be same right?
Nice job
Hey man I have a line in my screen horizontal it disappears sometimes
Seen it a few times. I had a screen on one of my laptop's with that. Worked fine for a year as long as I never pressed on the screen below the line (that's where your board is). Than my son dropped it from the table and it broke 😄
I can only use one side of my screen
Vertical lines not horizontal sorry, it’s a MacBook Air
@@dehomewillis yeah mine was vertical also. Horizontal would not happen unless it's cracked horizontally. If half the screen won't come up than u need a new screen
SMH the most critical part that matters the most was blocked out by what look like your shoulder! really? smh we missed the part where you connected back the LCD connectors.
Supamodz Computing Technologies Than why don't you go and SYH somewhere else, and figure it out by yourself than computing technologies. Sure someone else has a video without a shoulder blocking what you don't know how to do. And your welcome btw, for the free instructions and someone actually spending time to show how this is done...
Milan Stojic supamodz didn't say you did bad job. It just says you left out a helpful part. Just something to keep in mind for one of your next videos.
Qujuan Bristol There is something very annoying about people who write SMH in posts. What the fuck do I need to know if you r shaking your head or jerking off... And yeah, I will take his post as a complaint because if you went through the trouble of writing SMH twice, than you can fuck off and go watch someone else's video of something is bothering you!
Milan Stojic I agree 100%
i can't believe people actually complain about free knowledge and instruction.
dude - one word: edit. We don't need to watch you spending 42 minutes pickin crap off the bezel.
Than don't watch it! Nobody asked you or told you to watch it! There is a reason why video is raw and in full length!
