Replacing LCD and LCD Case

So, my AppleCare Protection Plan won't cover the replacement of the LCD and the LCD Case, so I was going to purchase these parts online, and I wanted to know if anyone knew how hard it actually was to do this task. All help is greatly appreciated.

It's not easy, but if you have the tools and some skills in dissassembly it can be done. Here is the instructions.

You may also want to do a search for macbook repairs. There are some good companies that do the work a lot cheaper than apple.

  • Are coloured Iphone 4 back cases and Lcd Digitizer screens as good as Apples Original black/white ones ?

    I have recently damaged my front screen on my iphone 4 and have been looking into a replacement, i have found several sites which sell coloured iphone 4 lcd and digitizer screens and back cases..My question is will the lcd be of the same standard as the original apple black/white ones...I have asked a tech guy who hasn't fully tested them yet so am wondering if anyone knows what the pixel quality is like when playing videos etc...I am very keen on having a yellow iphone but not at the expense of the screen quality ... any feedbk is welcome

    Yea thats what im unsure of ..the parts are available on amazon.com for roughly £50 for a yellow back case and yellow front lcd and digitizer screen giving you a full yellow iphone 4 ...just a ? over the quality of the screen when playing videos etc compared to apples original ones..i think i will just have to bite the bullet and try one to see if it is as good ..if not then i guess im £50 down lol ...thanks for all your feedback tho

  • How can I repair a screen that pixelates and goes white randomly without replacing the whole LCD ?

    I bought a unibody Macbook Pro 13,3" in 2009 (refurbished), so it is out of guarantee.
    Since about two weeks, my screen randomly freezes on image, pixelates
    and goes white. Like this. To correct the problem, I have to adjust the angle
    of my screen, or press on the corner of the cover and it returns to normal.
    But not for long.
    I removed the bottom cover to remove all the dust in the hardware, the fan, the circuits
    and what is related with the screen system. I verified the cables, the inverter, it was
    in a really good condition. Note that I never dropped it or spilled liquid on or near my
    laptop, I am a real maniac.
    I talked to an Apple Genius here in Montreal, I explained it was not software
    or graphics-related since I tried my computer on an external screen (which
    worked fine even when the screen freezed). The only solution they found in
    the Apple Store was to replace the entire LCD, at full price.
    I then visited my local repair shop and the man did the same thing as me,
    watching the components, connections, circuitry and when the problem
    happened, he was puzzled.
    I'm aware this problem is more and more often among Macbook users, and
    I didn't find any solution elsewhere on Internet, so please, if anybody finds
    out the origin of  the problem, answer this thread and you'll help us all !
    Thank you.

    I would think that the Apple store Genius' diagnosis is correct.  What you might consider is purchasing the display and installing it your self and thereby saving some money for a Molson or two.  There are places on the web where you can find detailed instructions such as iFixit.  If that is out of your realm, then bite the bullet and have the Genius do it for you (then you do get a 90 day warranty).

  • Replaced Itouch 2nd generation LCD and now it won't charge

    Hi everyone and thank you for the warm welcome to the forum!
    I feel bad but i have to ask for help already
    I recently purchased a 2G itouch from my friend because half of the LCD didnt work and he got a new one
    I ordered the replacement LCD and it arrived and while attempting to take the front panel/digitizer off, none of the clips would pop so out of frustration i basically just pryed it open, breaking the panel/digitizer
    This wasn't an issue for me, however, because there were a few scratches on the front that I wanted to see gone anyway so no sweat
    Later, though, I continued disassembly and while unattaching the LCD ribbon, I managed to clip the home button conductor (the actual button beneath the panel button) and it came off. Nothing is wron with it except that it is no longer in place
    Through all this dismay, I managed to keep my composure because I got the new LCD installed and I plugged it into my computer and it powered up with a very crisp, beautiful display. But once again, that wasn't the end of it. After unplugging it a few times, it now wont read that it is charging, or that it is plugged in at all for that matter. I know the cable and usb port are both good because I attached a co-workers itouch and it charged just fine.
    I guess through all of this, I have 2 main questions:
    1) Can I solder the Home button conductor back onto the place where it belongs? (I can see the part on the board where it attaches)
    2) Is there any possible explaination as to why it wont charge now, other than my awesome luck may have made the dock connector happen to go bad at that very moment?
    I just wanna thank everyone in advance for the help and I know that through everyones commbined experienece and expertise, we can get this problem fixed

    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use. Also, iOS 7 seems to make the iPod more sensitive to bad cables.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Multiple problems on case, LCD and charger.

    Hi there,
         This will be a long read, but, please bare with me. I have a macbook, late model, for about a year. After few months of using, I noticed a long, straight line of scratch near the Trackpad. It didn't bother me. And after few months, it failed to open and I've sent it to an authorized Apple service. And I'm living in Turkey. It got sent to another city to get repaired and it got back to me after 2-3 days. The "top-case" was changed. (It is the whole bottom case where keyboard is.) And after a day or so, the scratch re-appeared at the same place.
    http://www.imageupload.org/getfile.php?id=39603&a=1f83dd9d57c25ef7f4151d7def26c0 3c&t=4dcbbba3&o=3FFC51A37F1AED5CDA3B971F9BC56C7A6BB653A63749A543DB54CB41D0D9141C 22E048A37F&n=scratch.png&i=1
         After a close inspection I realized that the top white bar of my LCD was scratching my case. It is an exact match. Than I started further inspection on my LCD too than I noticed two little "cracks" on both of the hinges that connects the LCD to the case. I continued using my MacBook about 2 more months and something like a "bubble" appeared on the bottom gray covarage of the MacBook. And after a week or so, it started to get seperated from the case. I tried to stick it back to the case but this is the most I could do;
    http://www.imageupload.org/getfile.php?id=39607&a=ed28d430c322604c02f313f48d4d4f d5&t=4dcbbc2b&o=F3A49700889639728D3F8E90DDCD3212F1BD9455C7C2226D8C50D2CE96D14A72 EEB88E0088&n=cover.png&i=1
         I still continued to use my MacBook. Because I'm studying Computer Engineering and I just couldn't send it to the service. While using, the cracks on the back started to grow. And after using my MacBook for 2-3 months more, it stopped charging. And than I took it to the service. By the time, the cracks become from 0.16 inch (0.5 cm) to this;

         They said that they were going to take photos of the problematic areas, send it to Apple, and wait for an answer. And after waiting 9-10 days, they said they will not repair anything. I tried to explain to them that it is not my fault, but, it probably is somehow a constructional deformation. But the answer was negative. They only changed the power adaptor.
        I believe this "issue" needs further investigation. I mean, it is obvious that there is something wrong with structure (probably on LCD). And even the authorized staff at Apple can't understand it by just looking at few photos. And I'm stuck here. I don't know what to do.
         What should I do now? Contact Apple? If so how? Take my MacBook to a different service?
         Please tell me what to do, because I'm lost here.. Thank you all in advance.

    Unfortunately, Apple does not have a Turkey support number.  Contacting Apple would be your best option for getting a resolution (but not a guarantee).  You can get all of their worldwide contact numbers here:

    When you get a support rep on the phone, ask to speak with a Customer Relations representative.  Explain your situation to them.  If you have any records from your previous service experiences, have those available when you make the call.

  • IPhone won't turn on after replacing LCD and Screen

    My dad replaced the glass digitizer and LCD panel the screen won't turn on. what could go wrong that would cause this?
    I plugged in into the wall charger and it made the charging sound but still the screen didn't turn on. The sound works and vibrator also. I held the home and power button and nothing happened. I took a snapshot and I heard the picture sound. I also hooked it up to my computer and iTunes synced it but still the screen did not turn on. What could I do to make my screen show and be able to use my phone again? Please Help!! Thanks in advance !

    As deggie poined out, it could be any number of things. If your dad can't fix it, you may need to find a competent repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple will not service that one.

  • Replaced LCD and Digitizer, Now it won't power up

    I just replaced the LCD and Digitizer on my 1st Gen iphone. Everything went well and I powered the phone up, prior to sealing it back to make sure it was working. I got the message that the battery was completely drained and then the screen went black. I plugged it in to run off of the power cord, and now nothing happens when I power up. I don't want to seal it back up until I get it working. Does the battery need to charge for a while? What could have happened from the time I plugged it in and powering up? Thanks

    I sent the phone out to have the battery replaced. They said that replacing the battery did not fix it.
    check out this image: http://www.hennosy.com/iphone.jpg
    The part that is red flashes when I start it up. After about 5-10 seconds the screen turns off.
    What does this mean? Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • LCDS and paging

    Hello everybody,
    First, excuse me for the mistakes I may have made.
    I am a trainee and the enterprise I work for is planning to
    change the presentation layer (and maybe all the layers) of their
    software packages for Flex (at the present time they use the .NET
    platform). But in order to ensure that Flex can answer their needs,
    they have asked me to make a model using Flex together with Java,
    Hibernate, LCDS, SQL Server and Tomcat.
    I am currently using those versions :
    - jdk 1.5.0_12
    - Hibernate 3 (I use the jars provided with LCDS)
    - LCDS 2.5
    - SQL Server 2005
    - Tomcat 5.5
    As far as some of the tables from their databases are quite
    big (they can reach 2.000.000 rows) I need to implement paging. The
    table I currently use for my example is "only" 10.000 rows.
    I must confess that I am new to n-tiers architectures and
    that there are many concepts I misunderstand.
    What I want to do is make the user able to choose how many
    rows a page he wants to display (This could look a bit like
    this). And
    the server would only send this number of rows for each page (which
    is not the case for the page I linked).
    I have noticed that the implementation of the fill method for
    the HibernateAssembler had changed between FDS (
    public Collection fill(List fillArgs)) and LCDS (
    public Collection fill(List fillArgs, int startIndex, int
    numItems)).
    You are now able to specify a start index and the number of
    rows to display. This is the method I would like to use.
    To do so, I have tried to refer to
    LCDS
    documentation but I find it quite confusing. Here it is :
    Using on-demand paging
    There are two ways in which the Data Management Service
    implements on-demand paging of data by Flex clients. In the default
    approach, the fill method returns the entire collection of objects.
    The server sends the first page of items to the client as part of
    the initial fill request.
    As the client code tries to access ArrayCollection elements
    which are not resident, additional pages are retrieved from the
    server. If the cache-items property is set to true, these pages are
    sent directly by the Data Management Service. If the cache-items
    property is set to false, the Data Management Service calls the
    getItem() method for each item it needs to send to the client.
    When the original query is too large to be held in the
    server's memory, it is desirable for the Assembler to only return a
    single page of items at a time. In this mode, each time the client
    requests a page, the Assembler is asked for that page of items and
    they are sent directly to the client. Currently this mode is not
    supported when the autoSyncEnabled property is set to true for the
    paged collection. You must set the autoSyncEnabled property to
    false before executing the code. This configuration is not
    supported for the SQLAssembler. It is supported for the
    HibernateAssembler and you can implement it with your own Java
    Assembler implementation.
    To enable this second mode, you set the custom="true"
    attribute on the paging element in your network settings on the
    server and ensure paging is enabled with a reasonable pageSize
    value.
    If you are using the fill-method approach in your Assembler,
    you specify a fill method that matches the fill parameters used by
    your client with two additional parameters: the startIndex and the
    number of items requested. The Data Management Service calls this
    method once for each page requested by the client.
    If you are using the Assembler interface approach, you
    override the useFillPage() method for the appropriate fill method
    to return true for the fill parameters you want paged using custom
    paging. When the client requests a page, it calls the fill variant
    in the Assembler interface which takes the additional startIndex
    and number of items parameters. You return
    just those items and they are returned to the client.
    When you use custom paging in either the fill-method or
    Assembler approach, there are two ways that the client can
    determine the size of the collection. When you have enabled the
    custom paging mode, on the initial fill request made by the client,
    the Data Management Service invokes the count method with the
    parameters the client passed to fill. If the count
    method returns -1, a dynamic sizing algorithm is used for
    this filled collection. In this approach, the assembler's paged
    fill method is called with startIndex of 0 and number of items set
    to the pageSize + 1. If the assembler method returns less than the
    number requested, the size of the fill is known. If it returns the
    pageSize+1 items requested, pageSize items are
    returned to the client but the client sets the collection
    size to pageSize + 1 - with one empty slot at the end. When that
    empty item is requested by the client, the next pageSize+1 items
    are requested and the process repeats until the assembler returns
    less than pageSize+1 items.
    The HibernateAssembler implements this dynamic paging
    mechanism when you set the page-queries-from-database attribute to
    true in the destination's server properties. If you are using an
    HQL query sent from the client and the query is a simple query, the
    Hibernate assembler attempts to implement a count query by
    modifying the query sent from the client.
    If you are using a named query, the Hibernate assembler looks
    for a query named <original-query-name>.count. If that query
    exists, it uses it to compute the size of the paged collection.
    Otherwise, it uses the dynamic-sized approach.
    I guess I should change
    <params>java.util.List</params> for
    <params>java.util.List,int,int</params>.
    But I don't know which properties to add or modify.
    It also talks about the custom attribute of the paging
    element. Is it a new attribute that replaces "enabled" ? Or does it
    come in addition to it ?
    The following files are working and allow me to retrieve the
    datas I expect (but without paging).
    My data-management-config.xml looks like this :
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <service id="data-service" class="flex.data.DataService"
    messageTypes="flex.data.messages.DataMessage">

    ............</fill-configuration>
    ........</server>
    ....</properties>
    </destination>
    </service>
    This is the named query definition I use, found in
    Refacteur.hbm.xml :
    <query name="refacteur.where.ville.order.by.libacteur">
    ....<![CDATA[
    ........from Refacteur as refacteur
    ........where refacteur.villeActeur = ?
    ........order by libacteur
    ....]]>
    </query>
    And here is the call to the fill method, found in my mxml
    application file Acteurs.mxml :
    globalFilter.dataService.fill(globalFilter.arrayCollection,
    "refacteur.where.ville.order.by.libacteur", ["VANNES"]);
    I have tried to modify several things, but nothing works.
    I would be most grateful if someone could tell me what to
    change in my files in order to make the paging work.
    Nathalie.

    Have you seen the part of the example configs where it talks
    about what is required for data paging to work?
    <!--
    Indicates whether data paging is enabled for the destination
    and if you wish to override the
    pageSize set for the channel.
    Setting the custom flag to true indicates that the
    associated assembler has a paged-fill method
    corresponding to each method specified via the
    <fill-mathod> tag. The paged-fill method
    should have two additional java.lang.Integer params at the
    end of the parameters specified
    via the <params> tag. The first param specifes the
    index in the fill collection from which this
    method will start retrieving records. And the second param
    specifies the number of records to be
    retrieved by each paged-fill call.
    Default enabled value is false. Default pageSize value is
    10. Default custom value is false.
    <paging enabled="true" pageSize="5" custom="true"/>
    -->
    It seems to imply to me that you need the paged fill methods
    in your config in addition to the regular ones.
    I admit I have not got as far as getting a working paging
    setup yet, although this is something I will need to get working in
    the near future.

  • Mac Mini and LCD TV, changed resolution and now cannot use the screen anymo

    hello,
    I have a Mac Mini and and LCD TV which is connected via HDMI cable. I was playing around with the resolution settings (not very smart in hindsight) and managed to select a resolution that my TV does not support. I do not have another monitor or Macbook. Is there anything I can do to reset the resolution settings? I tried to reset the PRAM, but that didnt seem to solve the problem. I also tried starting in Safe mode but that didnt do the trick either.
    Appreciate your help!

    Arie, it may be possible to get to System Preferences via the keyboard. But you have to be sure the Finder is the foreground application. Is your Mac set to boot straight into your account or does it pause waiting for a password? If it boots straight into a user account, you can try the following procedure:
    \- Restart the Mac (It should be hooked up to the misbehaving display in case that's not clear)
    \- When it is done booting, type Cmd-Tab and then Cmd-Q. Do this several times. (Cmd-tab will step the Mac through all the programs that might be running. Cmd-Q quits them. Doing this several times ensures that only the Finder is running since the Finder can't be quit. This is important for the next step)
    \- Type Shift-Cmd-a (This should open the Applications folder)
    \- Type "sys" quickly (System Preferences within the Applications folder should now be highlighted)
    \- Type Cmd-o (This should open System Preferences)
    \- Type out the word "screen settings" completely (This should cause Displays to be highlighted in the System Preferences main panel)
    \- Hit the Return key (This should open Display Preferences)
    \- Hit the Return key again (This will clear any alert box that may have popped up)
    \- Hit the Tab key once (This will shift the keyboard focus to the resolutions list)
    \- Now start using the up (or down) arrow on the keyboard one press at a time. Each press of the arrow key moves to the next resolution in the list. Wait at least five seconds between arrow key presses for the resolution change to take effect. Hopefully, at some point, the monitor will light up with a stable image and you are back in business.

  • Formation of moisture between LCD and front panel in a iMac

    Hi Guys
    I am using a 21,5" iMac for the last 18 months or so. Every monsoon (which is pretty heavy in Bombay) I face a strange problem. A few minutes after starting the mac, moisture starts accumulating between the LCD panel and the front glass which covers it. I have complained to Apple several times but there is no satisfactory reply. In fact one of their service center girls sent me this email explaining the reasons behind this problem
    Hi , Sir !
    Greetings of the day ............
    This is with regards of ongoing problem with your iMac display issue.
    I have understand it from the technician who have visited your place regarding this issue.Pls correct me ,if your imac display issue is different than belows.
     Problem Reported: u see Some fog/condensation forms in that middle or corner of the screen(behind the glass). computer, But after turning it ON a large spot is clearly visible. [Deepak J] Your understanding is Correct .After turning of the computer, The fog disappears in just about 20 or 30 minutes.[Deepak J] No its not correct that fog/condensation goes in 20 or 30 minutes rather it takes more than 8 to 10 hours to get disappear and nature of the problem is intermittent. This is an environmental issue that happens with most of the iMacs here in mumbai during monsoon.it is because of humidity/moisture in the air.mostly it happens if there is a open window right behind the iMac or imac is very close to the AC.[Deepak J] My early PC which I used for more than 5 Years was also kept in the same way / environment  in which iMac is Kept & I bought iMac for 4 times more than the Cost I purchased my Old PC.
    Since the iMac goes Glass > Space > LCD it wouldn't be totally surprising that condensation would show up there if there is a lot of humidity and the temp variations between the outside of the glass and the inside of the glass.
    The space between the glass and lcd is not air tight. The glass is just a "cover" and not affixed to the actual LCD. It's held on by some magnets but there's still air going to and from between the lcd and the section that connects to the glass. It's like when you get condensation/ie., fogged windows in a car. The temp difference the air outside the glass and the air inside the glass as well as both surface sides it's a matter of physics that a fog will appear if the conditions are optimal.
    So,only few below things can help u in this case.
     1.Keep the iMac On,as much u can.we can keep the system in sleep all the time with energy saver settings.we will help u to do the same.[Deepak J] I use PC for Max to Max 2 to 4 hours in a Week so are you suggesting that I keep the PC on for rest of 160 Hours
    2.use of de-humidifier will might help.[Deepak J] Can you please tell me what is de-humidifier ?
    3.Removing the glass panel(But not advisable.)[Deepak J] I don’t want to do that
    Trust me ,it happens only in rainy seasons where humidity level is very high in our city and there is no technical solution to fix this as imac is design that way.[Deepak J] This the First rainy season after I purchased iMac
    Hope,the above information will help u.
    Pls let me know ,if u need any more information from our side.--

    Its pretty obvious from this email that they have no clue on how to solve this problem. Combined with the fact that Lion has a lot of bugs, my impression is "Apple is the new Microsoft".
    whats your experience guys
    best regards
    Tejash

    Hi Shilpa
    Its not the lack of testing. I am sure moisture is a problem in many other parts of the world. More irritating are the 'suggestions' by so called apple experts.
    One solution could be to seal it from all sides. Should be a pretty standard job.

  • 24" LCD AND 19" CRT. Any problem?

    Hi,
    My current set up is two dual 19" CRTs and the ATI 9800 256MB card.
    I want to move up to a widescreen LCD, but am aware of a couple limitations with a 24" LCD.
    These being:
    1. You have more screen real estate with two 19" than with one 24".
    2. CRT is supposedly a better image.
    So, my thinking is to move up to a 24"LCD and keep one of my 19" CRTs active as a 2nd/palette monitor. that way I get more screen real estate, and a nice CRT handy if needed.
    Can anyone tell me if I'd get eye-strain or headache or something from switching my eyes back and forth from a CRT to LCD?
    Any reason I wouldn't want a dual monitor set up where one is LCD and one is CRT?
    Thanks very much

    Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty - it is a limited manufacturer's warranty only, not insurance.
    If you live near an Apple Store, call the store and ask or make an appointment there to confirm if only the glass panel needs to be replaced, if the store does that, and how much.

  • Replacement of broken lcd display screen

    Hi
    I dropped my iphone 4 and the lcd display screen is broken.
    While i am still able to use the phone, not sure if we can have this replaced.
    I purchased the phone while in Sydney, Australia but have now relocated to Chennai, India.
    Would be grateful if someone can advise whether it can be replaced, whether apple store have this facility or whether we get the original screen outside
    Regards
    Sri

    Maybe have your screen replaced by Lenovo Support. Replacing a tablet LCD can be tricky maybe.

  • Proper FRU for replacing bad X100e LCD unit?

    I have an X100e which is a few months out of warranty; and the screen recently started going blank (still lit, so the backlight isn't the problem...). It's been in a state where the angle changes whether it will turn on--sometimes upwards/forwards pressure will turn the screen on. I took it apart and found that the thick round cable going into the LCD from the graphics unit (not one of the antennae, perhaps DC-in?) was extremely worn, so that I could see traces of the copper. I'm guessing this is the issue, though a different cable is also possible I looked at the Hardware Maintenance Manual, but am not sure what FRU this corresponds to. What I'd prefer to do if possible is replace the whole LCD unit, complete with cables, but I want to verify what I'm getting. What FRU numbers/parts labels should I look for? (I have already replaced the keyboard, so the above information should get me if I diagnosed it properly).
    Solved!

    There are 2 choices of cable depending on your 4-digit model number. Most models use 45M2885. For that one, here is one on eBay from a seller I use all the time for $9 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-Thinkpad-X100e-Fru-45M2885-LCD-LED-Video-Cable-Tested-/280830398533?p...
    Models starting with 3507 use 45M2918, which is hard to find, but you can buy it from IBM here: http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/TopCategoriesDisplay?cntrfnbr...
    From your description, I am not 100% sure what part you mean. I am sending you a pm with my email address and you can send a picture if you wish.

  • Dust Between the Glass and LCD Surface.

    I have a pocket of dust between the glass and LCD surface. I don't even notice that it is there until the screen behind the patch gets darker. Then my ADD kicks in and I focus on it intently.
    Can it be cleaned by anyone and not cost me $$$$$ or void any warantees?

    I recently had the same problem. I made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple store. The Genius was able to replace my screen with a new one; It took about 10 minutes.
