Screen replacement

Replacing a screen is a relatively uncomplicated task. To do this, you will need a standard #1 screwdriver and something to hold screws in (in a pinch, parts taken off the XO can serve as temporary screw holders).

Taking off the front panel

Begin by opening the laptop and flipping the screen up, and then rotating it to a 90 degree angle, similar to 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.

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

Finally, pull off the front panel, pulling it out at the bottom and then gently sliding it downwards.

Taking out the screen

To get the screen out, remove the four screws highlighted in blue.

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.

Lift up the plastic latches and gently pull out the cables. This will allow you to pull out the screen.
