I am 69 years old and bought myself and 4 grandchildren Acer Chromebooks. I heard the screen messing up was quite common. So when my screen went first, I knew I had to learn to fix it, or spend another small fortune if they all broke down. So here I am. The screen is out..next adventure..putting a new one in. Will return here to do that. Thanks for the site.

Worked perfectly. Replaced my daughters screen in about 15 minutes. Thank you.

Great guide. Didn’t realize it was that simple…i’d like a little information on which screen was purchased for this model.

Thanks!

I like it. The link for the screen is dead for me but I will find one.
