Replacing a screen is a relatively simple task. To do this, you will need a standard #1 Phillips head screwdriver and something to hold screws in (in a pinch, parts taken off the XO can serve as temporary containers). This repair can be done within 10 minutes, even with little experience. |

== Taking off the front panel == |
|||
=== Step 1 === |
|||
Begin by opening the laptop and flipping the screen up. Rotate it to a 90 degree angle, similar to [[:Image:DSCN0305.jpg|this]]. |
|||
Next, remove the screws circled in blue from the bottom of the screen. There are two on each side (right/left) of the XO, so make sure to get all four. |

|||

|||
=== Step 2 === |
|||
Remove the two green panels from the side of the XO by first sliding them and then lifting them off. |

|||
<br style="clear:both" /> |
|||
=== Step 3 === |
|||
Finally, pull off the front panel, pulling it out at the bottom and then gently sliding it downwards. |

== Taking out the screen == |
|||
=== Step 1 === |
|||
To get the screen out, remove the four screws highlighted. |
|||

|||
=== Step 2 === |
|||
Next, carefully slide the screen out, pulling the bottom out. '''Do not''' tug it or let go, as it will still be connected to the motherboard by two cables. |
|||
[[image:Screen_4b.jpg|thumb|left|Slide out gently]] [[image:Screen_4c.jpg|thumb|left]][[image:Screen_4d.jpg|thumb|left| Watch out for cables!]] |
|||

|||
[[image:Screen_4e.jpg|thumb|left| Unhook the cable]] [[image:Screen_4f.jpg|thumb|left| Watch out for this little cable, too.]] [[image:Screen_4g.jpg|thumb|left| Good to go!]] |
|||

|||
== Replacing the screen == |
|||
=== Step 1 === |
|||
Replace the screen by sliding the connection cables into place and clipping them back down (it is generally easier to clip the thinner one that has a longer tether first). Reseat the screen, making sure that it sits flat and that none of the spacers is gone. |
|||

|||

|||
[[image:Screen_5c.jpg|thumb|left| Gently slide screen back in]] [[image:Screen_5d.jpg|thumb|left| The screws with the large heads (4) go back in]] |
|||
<br style="clear:both" /> |
|||
=== Step 2 === |
|||
Slide the front panel back on, making sure that it sits flat. Note that there are hooks on the side of the panel (highlighted in blue) that need to slide into place; pushing the top of the screen flat and sliding it upwards works well. |
|||

|||
<br style="clear:both" /> |
|||
=== Step 3 === |
|||
Slide the green side pieces back into place. Then, rotate the XO 90 degrees and put the remaining screws back. Don't forget that the screws go in on both sides (right/left). |
|||

[[image:Screen_7d.jpg|thumb|left| Rotate]] [[image:Screen_7e.jpg|thumb|left| Put screws (4) back in. ]] |
|||
<br style="clear:both" /> |
|||
And you're done! Yay! :D |
