posted in: 4. Dell | 0

In this guide I explain how to remove and replace the LCD screen on a Dell G3 15 3579 (model P75F) laptop.

It’s easier to remove and replace the screen if the display already removed but also possible if the display is still attached to the laptop base (as shown in my example).

By the way, for complete laptop disassembly check out my previous Dell G3 15 3575 guide. Before removing the LCD screen I recommend disconnecting the main battery.

STEP 1.
Insert your fingers between the display bezel and the LCD screen. Wiggle the bezel and start separating it from the back cover. While pulling the bezel away from the screen, pry up the bezel with a case opener tool. You’ll have to disengage hidden latches that secure the bezel to the back cover.

Start separating the front bezel from the display back cover.

STEP 2.
Continue removing the bezel on both sides of the display assembly.

Removing the bezel on the lower part of the display is the hardest part of this disassembly process. It’s easier to do when the display is removed from the laptop.

Insert the case opener tool in the gap under the hinge cover. While pulling the bezel away from the screen with your fingers, work with the case opener tool to release hidden latches.

Continue removing the bezel on the lower side of the display.
