Thanks Charles! I had the exact same problem as your wife. I would not have attempted this fix without your video. With your video, it took me 10 minutes, and it's like having a new computer. Thanks again.
Thank you for the comment. I love hearing that I have helped someone have the courage to fix something. Good job overcoming your doubts in you own abilities. Thank you again.
Thanks Charles, was going to buy another laptop then I saw this video, purchased the cable for $11.95 on Ebay, replaced it following Your tutorial. and Voila!!!, fixed. Thanks again.
Thank you for your comment. I love hearing success stories from people like yourself. It makes me happy to know that, in a small way, I gave you the knowledge and confidence that you could do it. It is also nice to be able to fix something that you are attached to instead of just replacing it. Thank you again for the feedback.
Much appreciated on the guide. Had a similar issue with my Toshiba. From what I could tell, the plastic casing that held the screw and nut in place on the right hinge had cracked. And overtime the hinge had been pinching the monitor cable due most likely due to not rotating properly. After the connection got bad enough (black screen, flickering, and red pixels at certain angels) I decided to purchase the replacement cable and got it done and changed out in about an hour thanks to your video.
Thank you so much for the comment. I like being able to fix stuff. I am glad that I could help teach others, like yourself, be able to fix stuff. I like to think that I give people information that gives them the confidence to try something that might be outside their comfort level. It makes me very proud that you thanked me for the small part of helping you, even though you did the work. Good luck in all your future repairs.
Thanks for the video. I have the same laptop as your wife and with the same screen problem (must be a Toshiba fault). Over 18 months my screen gradually was worsening until it became unviewable. Watching your video gave me the confidence to have a go at replacing my old cable. So I took the laptop apart, removed the screen cable and used the part number on the old cable to order an exact replacement. It occurred to me that I might forget how to reassemble the laptop before the new cable arrived, so I put it all back together and would you believe it, the screen now works perfectly. I was convinced that the old cable had disintegrated and was useless. Well at least I now have a spare cable should the problem recur. Once again, many thanks. PS I love the background sounds, reminds me of Florida Dave in the UK
Dude how lucky. I think it is a universal thing with all laptops. Any time you have ribbon cable bending in a tight space, there is going to be problems eventually. Background sounds are North Carolina. Cicadas have been crazy, this year. I went backpacking, this weekend, and almost could not sleep because of the noise they were making. Thank you for the comment. And let me know how long the cable lasts.
It would work, when the screen was part way up, but not all the way up. The tiny wires, inside the cable, would make contact, while the cable was folded, but would loose contact, as the cable was unfolded. Thank you for your question and good luck fixing your laptop.
Cheers for making this video! I'm going to try this myself once the cable arrives this week. I've had it twice at the computer repair shop and not once did they suggest replacing the cable itself
Thank you for the cheers. If your laptop is showing the same symptoms as my wife's, I am surprised that the computer shop did not suggest the cable. Good luck fixing it, please let me know how it goes.
CHARLES CRANFORD so I managed to do it following this video. But unless the new cable was also damaged it hasn’t fixed my issue. It definitely connected correctly as I turned the laptop on so I could see if it was working. But one little movement or after some time it freezes and starts going white again. Don’t suppose you have any ideas what I could try next :/
Thanks man! I will try to change my display cable, my screen flickers only when i move it so i think the problem is the cable. Do you have any ideas how/where to find the right to cable?
Hi, thanks for the tutorial!!In my case i don't think the screen cable is the problem but once i was disassembling the pc the cable was a little Crushed, what should i do? I would want to remove the screen to see well the cable but I'm scared of breaking it
If you are careful and don't force anything, you should be able to replace the cable without breaking the screen. If you are not confident, it may be worth it, to you, to pay a computer repair man to do the work. Thank you for the question and good luck whatever you decide to do.
Thank you for the comment. You did all the work and saved yourself money. I do like hearing from people that were able to fix their laptops after getting a little knowledge from my video. Thank you again for letting me know how it went.
That is a good point, if you have some slack in the cable, you could pull the pinched part out of the hinge. The only problem would be if there is a short in the pinched part that might still short out, even if it is not bending. Good luck and thank you for the rip.
Hi I have exact same model of PC but I don't want take the display off in order to find the right part number. Because I found 3 different part numbers and also variation of 30 and 40 pin. The current Amazon search show only S55-B not the 4 following numbers. Therefore I would appreciate if you could tell me what is the part number and how many pins your connector has? Thank you again.
It has been a while, but I think it was this cable: amzn.to/2LQPpG7 I found it by doing a Google search on the model number on the bottom of the laptop. Good luck.
It might be it. My wife's did not just go black, she could open and close the laptop a little and it would flicker on and off. Did your laptop do this before just going black?
CHARLES CRANFORD the laptop was working before, but when this problem occurred I found that the WiFi antenna wire is completely cut through. I thought that was the problem but I was told that isn’t the problem
Hey Charles, great video! One question though, english is not my main language and we call this sort of cables differently in Spannish. How can I look for those cables in ebay or amazon? I've got a Helios 300 Laptop, with 40 pins.
There will be a number on the bottom of the laptop. Search with that number and screen cable. That should get you what you want. Good luck. Habrá un número en la parte inferior de la computadora portátil. Busque con ese número y cable de pantalla. Eso debería darte lo que quieres. Buena suerte.
The ribbon cables have lots of wires. Some are for the screen itself, but if your computer has a mic and camera, on the screen, then the cable also relates to them as well. If it is just the ribbon that is damaged, replacing it should fix it. Good luck.
Just make sure you get the right cable for your computer. I did an internet search on the model number I found on the back of the computer and found a cable for it. Good luck.
There might be some computers that use the same cable as others, but from my experience, you want the cable that is made for your make and model of laptop. Just do an internet search with your make and model followed by "screen cable" and you should find the right cable. Good luck.
Nice video! just a quick question, can you replace the screen cable to another "type" as in, if your screen was of type eDP with a 40pin connector, and you want to replace your current screen with a 30pin screen, can you just replace the cable to a 30pin cable without any problems? or are some motherboards specifically set up to only out put a signal supported by w/e cable it comes shipped with? thanks a lot!
Thank you for the question. I am not sure. From a few online searches it seams to me that 40 pins are LVDS while 30 pins are eDP. If you were going to have to replace the screen, it would probably be easiest to replace it with the same screen. I have fixed two different laptops, with this problem, and all I had to do to fix them was to replace their cables. Both the screens were fine, just worn out cables. Good luck.
My laptop is pretty beaten and it's joints? (Idk what they're called) are broken so the screen cables are exposed A child cut the cables when I wasn't home. Does this video help in my case as well? Can I fix it myself without having to pay someone?
Yes. Those cables are designed to be folded and unfolded thousands of times but eventually they can become damaged. A child cutting them damages them all at once instead of taking years. If your hinges are that worn out, it may be time to fix them as well. Good luck.
I just did a search on Amazon with the model information of the computer. You should be able to find the exact model number on a label on the bottom of the laptop. Make sure it is the whole model number. The laptop in this video is a S55-B5157. I hope this helps. Good luck and thank you for the question.
I just finished my Satellite C55-C5241. On mine the connector on the motherboard had a clamping bar for the pins on the side. It took me awhile to figure that out as I was pulling on the cable towards the screen bottom with pliers it finally came out and the clamping bar folded up. Nothing broke, but knowing that connector had the clamp would have made it simpler. Suggestion: Add "Toshiba Satellite S55" into the title as this video is specific. Its close to my C55 but had minor differences. Thanks for the video.
I am glad that you were able to fix your laptop. There are so many different styles of laptops and ways that the cables hook up. Thanks for the follow up.
Congratulations for the instructive video :D, i have a simple question. What important details I have to consider when replacing a screen: . resolution .pin connectors -touch none touch . eDP or VLS What else....about the energy maybe? If I make a mistake selecting a wrong one, what is the worst that could happen to a Laptop?
Sorry this reply is old, your title was in "likely spam". The best way to get the correct cable is to Google the model number of your laptop. You can find the model number by looking on the bottom of the laptop. Good luck.
I didn’t remove battery when unplug screen connector. It go wrong now power on and off suddenly it’s damage which component ? Do you have a suggestion?
Have you tried taking out the battery, holding the power button for a few seconds, putting the battery back in, and then powering it back on again? I know it sounds weird to hold the power button, when the battery is out, but it will sometimes get rid of residual power left in the system. I hope this helps.
@@peerapongs.3548 Was the screen completely black or partially working before? If it was completely black, something more than the screen cable could be the problem.
Amazon. I just searched Google with the computer make and model (on the label, on the bottom of the laptop) and screen cable, and the Amazon link came up.
How can you tell exactly what type of wire to order for a replacement, I don't want to order one just to find out that I needed a different one. Help please and thank you!
The best way to find the correct cable it to Google search the model of your laptop with the words "screen cable". Your laptop model number should be on the bottom of the laptop. Good luck.
Sir i have a query. My laptop has dim display problem. 19 v supply from motherboard is ok but at lcd display there is 0 v. So please tell me is it a cable fault
Charles thank you for the video ! but am not fully certain that i have this problem ! however ! my screen would fliicker and have white constant but moving white lines when i make the angle of the screen low ! and if i raise it ! i would have Screen issues like freezing , blackouts etc , but if i move the angle higher it would be all normal without problems ! Therefor its not a screen issue ! maybe its the cable after all ? thank you
Thank you for the comment. It is always nice when what you think will be an expensive problem turns out to be something inexpensive. Good luck with replacing your cable. I would love to hear how it turns out for you.
So I broke the eDP connector on the motherboard, the solder came off and a few pins are broken... Is it possible to replace the connector (not by me this time) or should i try to find another motherboard?
The screen would work fine, if it was in just the right position, but if we moved it further to a normal viewing angle, it would go blank. I guess the tiny cables, inside the ribbon, were making contact, but when the ribbon was screeched the cables would loose contact. Thank you for the question, I hope this answered your question.
I replaced my cable today. When i start up my computer, the display remains grey. I have tried using another screen through hdmi and it gets no signal. Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Thanks for your reply. I've done the process all over once more, and now hdmi is working, but my laptop screen stays grey. Could it perhaps be that i've gotten a wrong type of display cable?
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Yeah. The cable looked identical. I ordered it from a website, and the description said it would be compatible with my laptop. I tried to compare serial/model numbers on the cables, but on the new one were no numbers to be found.
Search for your computer's make and model followed by flex screen cable, and you should find what you need. The cable in my wife's computer (the one in this video) was a 30 pin cable, but they vary, depending on the manufacturer. I hope this helps. Good luck fixing your laptop.
I think I completely broke my hp probook 450 g2. I took of on of the the green-ish tapes and the middle part of my screen turned black or white. I tried putting it back on but it doesn't seem to help :(
You may need to replace the LCD screen. They look like they are around 50 dollars. Don't worry, your computer is a bunch of parts, unless you damage all the parts, it is not completely broken. Good luck.
If the external monitor does not work, it will be a problem with your laptop. If it does work, you might get your laptop screen working again by replacing the cable. Good luck.
It will depend on your laptop make and model. It should be somewhere on the bottom of your laptop. Search by your laptop make and model with screen cable and you should be able to find it. Good luck.
I am not sure the number of screws and locations, but most laptops are similar. Take your time and take pictures or video so that you can reference them to help with putting everything back together. Good luck with your repair.
Hi, we have the same laptop and my screen flickers every second so I think the lcd cable is the root of the problem. Did you fix your problem after replacing the lcd cable on your laptop?

@@sheilamaith6149 Was the screen working before, but would not work, if in a certain angle? That would be the cable. If your screen just stopped working it could be a few different things.

I tok out the batter allowed it to sit overnight and it is working fine. Again Thank You Charles...you are Awesome. I look forward to learning more from your videos. Be Blessed
Screen Cable. It may sometimes be referred to as a ribbon cable, or flex ribbon cable. When you search for it, also include the make and model of your laptop, it should be on a label, on the bottom. Good luck.

Amazon. I just searched Google with the computer make and model (on the label, on the bottom of the laptop) and screen cable, and the Amazon link came up.
How can you tell exactly what type of wire to order for a replacement, I don't want to order one just to find out that I needed a different one. Help please and thank you!
The best way to find the correct cable it to Google search the model of your laptop with the words "screen cable". Your laptop model number should be on the bottom of the laptop. Good luck.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Thanks!
Sir i have a query. My laptop has dim display problem. 19 v supply from motherboard is ok but at lcd display there is 0 v. So please tell me is it a cable fault
It sounds like there is a short somewhere and it could be the screen cable. Good luck with your repair.
Can I connect an external monitor to laptop with hdmi even if this display cable is broken?
I would think so, because the internal cable for the hdmi connection does not go thru the hinge. Good luck.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD yeah it's working , thank you!
@@vishalojha5811 Good to hear. Thank you for the update.
Charles thank you for the video ! but am not fully certain that i have this problem ! however ! my screen would fliicker and have white constant but moving white lines when i make the angle of the screen low ! and if i raise it ! i would have Screen issues like freezing , blackouts etc , but if i move the angle higher it would be all normal without problems ! Therefor its not a screen issue ! maybe its the cable after all ? thank you
Thank you for the comment. It is always nice when what you think will be an expensive problem turns out to be something inexpensive. Good luck with replacing your cable. I would love to hear how it turns out for you.
So I broke the eDP connector on the motherboard, the solder came off and a few pins are broken... Is it possible to replace the connector (not by me this time) or should i try to find another motherboard?
Ii might be time to cut your losses and take your computer to a computer repair store. good luck.
how did u know the problem was the cable and not the screen or control board?
The screen would work fine, if it was in just the right position, but if we moved it further to a normal viewing angle, it would go blank. I guess the tiny cables, inside the ribbon, were making contact, but when the ribbon was screeched the cables would loose contact. Thank you for the question, I hope this answered your question.
I replaced my cable today. When i start up my computer, the display remains grey. I have tried using another screen through hdmi and it gets no signal. Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
It sounds like you might have a bad video driver. It might be time to take your laptop to a computer repair store. Good luck.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD
Thanks for your reply.
I've done the process all over once more, and now hdmi is working, but my laptop screen stays grey. Could it perhaps be that i've gotten a wrong type of display cable?
@@andreash3906 Possibly, or your display might have died. Did the new cable look exactly like the old one?
@@CHARLESCRANFORD
Yeah. The cable looked identical. I ordered it from a website, and the description said it would be compatible with my laptop. I tried to compare serial/model numbers on the cables, but on the new one were no numbers to be found.
hey by any chance do you know what that cable is called? and what sort of connectors it has on both end
Search for your computer's make and model followed by flex screen cable, and you should find what you need. The cable in my wife's computer (the one in this video) was a 30 pin cable, but they vary, depending on the manufacturer. I hope this helps. Good luck fixing your laptop.
CHARLES CRANFORD thanks I got it now
I think I completely broke my hp probook 450 g2. I took of on of the the green-ish tapes and the middle part of my screen turned black or white. I tried putting it back on but it doesn't seem to help :(
You may need to replace the LCD screen. They look like they are around 50 dollars. Don't worry, your computer is a bunch of parts, unless you damage all the parts, it is not completely broken. Good luck.
So I think I have this problem on a Dell laptop. I bought a monitor, if I plug it in my laptop will it work or will it be blank like my laptop?
If the external monitor does not work, it will be a problem with your laptop. If it does work, you might get your laptop screen working again by replacing the cable. Good luck.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Ok, thanks. I will find out Wenesday when the monitor arrives, until then I only have 45% open laptop to use which is annoying.
Good job Charlie.
Thank you.
Hi. Can you give me the amazon link of the cable? I search Amazon but I couldn't find any...
It will depend on your laptop make and model. It should be somewhere on the bottom of your laptop. Search by your laptop make and model with screen cable and you should be able to find it. Good luck.
Read my posting. I bought mine on eBay in the UK. Be careful, there are lots of variations out there.
How do you replace the display cable for acer nitro 5 an515 42? do you know how
I am not sure the number of screws and locations, but most laptops are similar. Take your time and take pictures or video so that you can reference them to help with putting everything back together. Good luck with your repair.
Okay thanks
@@CHARLESCRANFORD i figured it out! thanks for the help
Hi, we have the same laptop and my screen flickers every second so I think the lcd cable is the root of the problem. Did you fix your problem after replacing the lcd cable on your laptop?
I couldn't see how you removed the video connector.
It should pull straight out. Good luck.
Does that laptop has a backlit keyboard?
Yes it does, but I don't think the ribbon has anything to do with the keyboard. Thank you for the question.
I need help pls i accidentally cut my lcd cable whit laptop was on and it shut off and wont turn on
I am no expert. Maybe try taking out the battery, let it sit for a while, and then but the battery back in and turn it on.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD thank you ill try
@@CHARLESCRANFORD i have to thank you so much❤️ you saved my pc and probably a conflit , whitout knowing the answer you still got it , thank you so much, subscribed , elétrical shock was so big the battery died and started collecting all the power but not sending it, works whitout battery
My laptop screen suddenly turned white it was good few days ago
I don't know what to do even when I turn it on its still display white. Help please I don't know what is wrong
Have you tried replacing the screen cable?
What if you have backlight on but no display? 😭
My guess would be that there are two separate cables, or one cable and part of the cable is okay and the other part is not. Good luck.
is it possible to just joint it together?
I am not sure what you are asking, If it is to repair the cable, they are very small wires and I think it would be better to get a new cable.
Anyone knows if this cable isn't working, the hdmi conector works? i think i have the same problem but the hdmi conector doesn't give image
I am pretty sure that the screen cable could be bad and the HDMI connector would still work. You may have a different problem.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD okay, I'm going to try anyway. thanks
I replaced my screen cable, but there is still no display. Except for the Vaio starting logo, which is barely visible.
That sounds like your cable is okay. Are you able to control your screen brightness?
No apparently it’s set to max, but nothing is visible except for the vaio start up logo.
@@Soyyfelipe It sounds like your computer is stuck. From what I found, doing a google search you will need to turn on your computer, Press the F10 key when the VAIO logo appears. ... launch the VAIO Recovery Center. Select Restore C: Drive or Restore Complete System and click Start. Good luck.
CHARLES CRANFORD So I tried resetting the computer but nothing change, but I found out I can see most of the display it I flash it with my cellphone flashlight.
Hi hello can I change to touch screen cable to non touch cable screen connector
I am not sure but I would think that you have to use the same style cable that is in your laptop. Thank you for the question and good luck.
Laptop repair ASMR mukbang
I had to google mukbang. Thank you for the comment.
Man you are Awesome. With PATIENCE and whew much of it I did it and I am a female...hoorah!
Thank you for the complement. I am glad you were able to do it. Girl power!
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Thank you. I done great...true...Buuuut...yeah a But. I turned it on and it came up like it suppised to but...now the screen is blank. Nothing...so what happened? I celebrated to early. But...am I to take it apart or reorder another screen. I ordered that from Amazon. Thank you.
@@sheilamaith6149 Was the screen working before, but would not work, if in a certain angle? That would be the cable. If your screen just stopped working it could be a few different things.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD the screen is working now. I am OCD and cleaned my key board with my brusher duster...so I think that may had something to do with it. I tok out the batter allowed it to sit overnight and it is working fine. Again Thank You Charles...you are Awesome. I look forward to learning more from your videos. Be Blessed
@@sheilamaith6149 I was a bit worried, as I am sure you were as well. I am glad that it all worked out.
Pls what is that cable called
Screen Cable. It may sometimes be referred to as a ribbon cable, or flex ribbon cable. When you search for it, also include the make and model of your laptop, it should be on a label, on the bottom. Good luck.
Name of the cable
screen cable. If you do a search on the internet with the model of your computer and the words "screen cable" you should be able to find a new cable. Good luck.
I hope this helps bc my screen trembling every time i open it
That is a symptom of a bad cable. Thank you for the comment and good luck.
bro tell me the name of this cable!
Laptop screen cable. Just search Google with the computer make and model (on the label, on the bottom of the laptop) and screen cable, and the Amazon link should come up. Good luck.....bro.
@@CHARLESCRANFORDThanks for Reply........
@@CHARLESCRANFORD bro..can you send me the link from where i can purchace because i cant found please....
@@hasincreative6315 Google.com Do a search with your laptop's make and model information followed by the words "screen cable" and you should be able to find it. Good luck.
Do you know the name of this cable
?
If you do an internet search on the model number of your laptop (usually on the bottom of the laptop) followed by "screen cable" you should be able to find it. Good luck.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD I don't have mine... the sticker
hello there charles will changing flex cable fix lcd lines and "not displaying right" problems?
I am not sure. My wife's computer screen would flicker or not come on at all. Sometimes having the screen at a certain angle would make it work but it was unusable. After replacing the cable, her screen worked fine. How old is your computer?
