That was a great video. Thank you. Been struggling with this for weeks, was convinced it was a driver issue and did a fresh install of windows. Those pesky connectors.
I use the rare earth magnets for herding minuscule screws too. I disassembled my notebook to confirm good clean and tight connections on each end of LCD cable. I believe my problem is a bad LCD panel since connecting an external monitor, using the VGA port, works fine. My HP 2000-2b19WM LCD displays a gray-blue background and bottom third all the way across has a lighter tint of gray-blue. I also see faint dark rectangular box, about 1 mm width sides, about 1 inch in from all edges of the LCD display. Don't see anyone else with the same thing on TH-cam yet. Pretty sure I can fix it with a new panel for about $60 (US). Anyway, I liked your video and I'm off hunting for confirmation of my problem near and far.
I have so many problems with my Acer Aspire 7. I wish I hadn't purchased this computer. And now my second cable went out on me today during a homeschool co-op presentation.
Omg I wanna thank you so much! I fixed my own laptop who had the same problem! I have one question, maybe you can answer it too. One of the screw in the case is stuck. It isn’t the had that is broke but the the thread I think. I can move her without problems but she doesn’t go more in or out. Did you have that problem once?
i have a problem where the screen keeps going dark. Just did what you did with the connection and there was no improvement. The connection seems solid. Do you think it is a problem with the screen or cable. Sometimes the screen lights up depending on how the monitor is tilted.
Thanks for this video. Looks like I have a similar issue with my Acer NITRO 5. Screen goes blank or will not come on. If I tap the edge of the display, it comes back on. Must be the cable. Mine is brand new, and I had never replaced the screen.
I'm srry, can i know what is the blue thing at back of the laptop?? Is it necessary to be removed before open the screen?? I have a problem with my screen too where the screen goes white and my brother said that maybe the screen is loose..
I have an Acer 5750 and there is a faint shadow patch that has appeared at the right hand side of the screen, Do I need to replace the screen or is there a fix for this??
My screen starts working again sometimes when I move the screen, or push on the screen. Sometimes it shows crashing lines again, and goes black and sometimes it stays working. :(
Hey i'm gonna try this thing later with my old Acer Aspire 4830TG and its a Timeline X Laptop that haven't been used for a months. If this works i will reply to you.
I get a greenish pinkish tint screen on my asus n550jv. I connected it to an external monitor it worked fine. So it either the lcd screen or the cable. However the edp cable is connected perfectly. But maybe just maybe there is a problem to the cable which hurts the performance? Is there a way to check if the edp cable works fine?
Best to do is, just replacing the LCD Cable, since it will change that. And they range from 5-20$ usually about 6-12$, so getting a new one won't hurt for you either way.
Can someone please tell me what is the purpose of the small white cord that goes out of the right hinge of an aspire e5-575g? I have the same laptop but that cord on my pc was cut and I have no idea what it does
in the video it mentions that if the lcd connector doesn’t “click” it’s not fully in, but no matter how many times I put it in it doesn’t click. is there something I’m missing?
Probably not; some are worn or already loose that it doesn't click; so long as the shark-tooth its in the recess and there's no gap between the connectors you will be fine... and ultimately, so long as it works :D
Yeah that's tough luck 3/4 of the way through. I'm saying no Paul don't close her up yet...The Tooth...remember the TOOTH. Of course it's an upload and you can't hear me. I know the excitement with wins. You can be thankful that at least it wasn't a MacBook. That would be table flip baby rage....lol
In the old days with CRT monitors, yes, magnets could cause dramas and you'd have to degauss the screen (sometimes it was so bad you couldn't ever get it right again). However, that aside, I've seen no reputable reports to indicate that magnetic tip drivers can cause issues. Consider that in a spinning hard drive, there's a whopper of a neodymium magnet right next to the electronics and platters to no ill effects ( and while there's a level of shielding / field-shaping a lot of that magnetic flux .does extend well beyond the area of use ) The strength of the magnetised tip on a screw driver is too small to impart any ill effect, let alone permanent damage to this sort of equipment. There is a case in the iPhones with the compass IC where we have to use non-magnetic screws next to it else it influences the accuracy of compass, but again, that's not damage, that's just influencing the sensor, much like walking past a hill containing magnetite
Fair enough! Thanks for the insight! I'm currently in studies for Application Development, and as we took a hardware class, were told it was bad practice. Thanks for backing your answers!
Interesting term they used "Bad practice"; perhaps they feel it's lazy? Realistically, I'd not like to do a lot of the work without a magnetised tip on things like iPhones, simply to difficult to manage such small screws otherwise. On PC assembly, I can see that one could get away without needing a magnetic driver, not as much trouble, though laptops I'd not want to be without one, so many of the casing screws are recessed in to the body, wouldn't want to try undo them, tip laptop over, wait for it to fall out... repeat. Best of luck with the App dev course.
I DO NOT BELIEVE MY GOBBLIN EYES! IT HAS TURNED ON: HALELUUUUUUUUUUJA. unfortunately, it is now in the repair loop, with no restore points and reset also not working. Trying to find the black screen source I disconnected the HDD (I also have SSD and HHD in mine). So maybe now the wrong disk is put for bootup? I tried to change it in the BIOS which was pretty annoying because it only gave me the option to change boot devices once I set it into legacy mode, but none of the options worked. I kind of have the feeling that the solution is pretty simple but I cant quite get to it. Or maybe is there a way to get my data somehow? most of it is on the ssd, and having the laptop open I did not see it, so I think it is probably not removable. Maybe you have made another video about something like this? you seem to know your stuff...
There's no screw for the HDD. Check @2:50 when I remove it, it just slides out, the removable exterior plate has moulding that locks the drive in place, or are you meaning something else?

Very, very helpful! Sir, you saved me quite a lot of effort, time and money. Cheers!

Thanks for the advice. I had this exact problem after replacing the LCD. Just needed to know to push the connector until it clicks.
Thank you Paul, I have learned so much in such a short while.

Thank you very much , my screen was flikkering , and was going black whilste gaming. This helpt a lot.
Thank you so much Paul, this fixed my Issue

Same problem with my friend ASUS SonicMaster X507M. Thanks for the hint.

Awesome mate :) love a good cable connection fix
It was good to get a win on that one. Picked up another win tonight, encoding video now and will upload in probably within an hour or so.
You are the best !
thanks for your guide.
Tanks man, you saved my ass
I'm srry, can i know what is the blue thing at back of the laptop?? Is it necessary to be removed before open the screen?? I have a problem with my screen too where the screen goes white and my brother said that maybe the screen is loose..
Thanks got this same laptop and this was the problem after dropping a TV remote on it
GRACIAS me salvastes la vida.

Hey i have same problem... Found the solution yet?
damnit i have same problem if any one finds a solution please tell me
i did it i found the solution !😍 here is a video

Hey i'm gonna try this thing later with my old Acer Aspire 4830TG and its a Timeline X Laptop that haven't been used for a months. If this works i will reply to you.
I have a similar Laptop with a display loose connection. Do you have an idea if it also could be the cabels?
Only way to tell is to try other parts/screens/cable to isolate the fault.
I get a greenish pinkish tint screen on my asus n550jv.
I connected it to an external monitor it worked fine. So it either the lcd screen or the cable. However the edp cable is connected perfectly. But maybe just maybe there is a problem to the cable which hurts the performance?

@@devichee but where do i order it?
A very easy fix
Yes, rare to have that, got to take the wins when you can.
One question: how did you get it to boot up without replacing the hard drive?
He didn't touch the hard drive, only took out the battery wich was remplaced by the chargeur. ;-)
Can someone please tell me what is the purpose of the small white cord that goes out of the right hinge of an aspire e5-575g? I have the same laptop but that cord on my pc was cut and I have no idea what it does
I get screen lines and discoloration when laptop is shaken ,is it display or cable ?
possibly cable, maybe screen
Thanks 😊
nice fix ! the kapton tape almost became cathair tape :)
Got to watch those cat-hairs :D
can you make a tutorial video on how to replace LCD cable on an acer nitro 5 an515 42 pls?

I should have edited out that mistake ;) :)
I have acer aspire a515-51g my screen is pink so is it because of display or the connector
could be a bad single line in the connector or even bad VRAM. Try plug in to external display and see.
@@pldaniels I casted my laptop on to tv but on tv it looks good no pink so is it faulty cable or display
@@pldaniels I plugged it into an external displaay no pink on the external display
hey man I have a hp probook 450 g5 laptop but the cpu on and the screen not turning on
Isn’t it bad practice to use magnetic screwdrivers?
What's the theory behind that one? Magnetic drivers probably save quite a lot of drama/issues by not losing screws down in to the abyss of cases.
Due to the magnetic current from the driver? They can actually cause issues on displays/motherboards/chipsets...
In the old days with CRT monitors, yes, magnets could cause dramas and you'd have to degauss the screen (sometimes it was so bad you couldn't ever get it right again). However, that aside, I've seen no reputable reports to indicate that magnetic tip drivers can cause issues.

Pointless me shouting about the screws now isn't it?
smooth brain moment?
Not sure exactly? This is a different machine from the one the other day.
Give me a timestamp?
when ya forgot to re-install the screws.
Amy Marie hahaha, I smoothbrained about my smoothbrain moment!
This is comedy gold.
same problem with asus aspire
lol
You forgot to screw the hd back
There's no screw for the HDD. Check @2:50 when I remove it, it just slides out, the removable exterior plate has moulding that locks the drive in place, or are you meaning something else?
