First, find someone to swap XO man colors with! 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 replacement can be done within 15 minutes, even with little experience. You'll be removing the display; please do be careful of static, which can destroy parts of your XO. Do see the disassembly advice! [[1]]

Before we begin


Taking off the front panel

Step 1

Open the laptop and flip the screen up. Rotate it a quarter turn as shown in the sequence below. Next, remove the screws from the bottom of the screen - there are two on each side (right/left) of the XO, so make sure to get all four.

Turn over. Secure the back plate by putting in the four screws where indicated.


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 are gone.

Watch out for these hooks
The rest of the panel slides into place


Step 3

Slide the green side pieces back into place. Then, rotate the XO a quarter turn and put the remaining screws back. Don't forget that the screws go in on both sides (right/left).
