In this guide I explain how to replace the LCD screen on an Acer Aspire 1830T series laptop.
In my case the laptop was dropped and it stopped displaying the image correctly.
Before you start, make sure the computer is turned off.
STEP 1.
Unlock and remove the battery.
STEP 2.
Insert your fingers under the bezel and start separating it from the display assembly.
STEP 3.
Continue separating the bezel from the display assembly with a piece of plastic (I’m using the guitar pick).
STEP 4.
Continue removing the bezel on the upper side of the display assembly.
After that move to the lower part.
STEP 5.
Remove the bezel from the display assembly.
STEP 6.
Remove two screws securing the LCD on the top of the display assembly.
STEP 7.
Carefully disconnect one cable from the web camera module.
STEP 8.
Remove two screws from the right mounting bracket.
STEP 9.
Remove two more screws from the left mounting bracket.
STEP 10.
Now you can separate the LCD from the display back cover and place the it the front side down on the palmrest/keyboard assembly.
On the back side you can access the video cable harness.
STEP 11.
Unglue the web camera cable from the screen.
STEP 12.
Remove clear tape securing the video cable connector.
Unplug the video cable.
STEP 13.
Remove the damaged LCD from the display assembly.
After the replacement you can assemble everything back together following all disassembly steps in reverse order.
You can find a replacement LCD screen for your Acer Aspire 1830T if you search by the model number from the original part.
In my case I had the following LCD installed: B116XW02 v.0
