We got my little sister a nice Acer Aspire One for her birthday this year, the newly designed AO532H-2588 that has better battery life and runs faster. However, due to an unfortunate accident this summer, the LCD cracked, rendering it almost useless as a portable computer. And with that, I inherited a broken netbook! (And if you were concerned for my sister, not to worry, we’ll be getting my sister a different computer. She seems to prefer larger laptops anyway.)
So off to eBay I went, searching for a replacement LCD that would be cheap enough compared to the price for a new/used netbook (the Acer Aspire One is $300) and lo-and-behold I found one for $50, which seemed justifiable to bring this netbook back to life. And with that, here are some pictures of how I took the screen apart and replaced the LCD! On thing that’s really nice about the new design is that there are only two screws in the front of the screen before the screen frame pops out compared to six in the previous design as I noticed while searching the web. Much less screwdriver work. =)
