DIY - Replace Broken Laptop LCD

Step 7 Install The New LCD

This should be fairly straight forward. Just reverse the procedure of removing the old one. Try to avoid touching the face of the screen. Some laptops have another screen in front of the LCD. This would make it hard to remove fingerprints!

Note that the shield behind the LCD is sometimes a little tricky to fit. Take your time and make sure it's reinstalled the same way it was originally.

Replace connectors and tape wherever possible. Add tape if you need to. Also assure that all wires are where they belong. We really don't want to pinch and damage wires when we put the cover on.

Hi, A very essential question please: As the powerbook 12" 867 mounts the old LCD you replaced (lp121x04). Do you think i can mount the LTN121X1-L02 on my powerbook. Thanks so much!

As long as you verify that the screen is, in fact, compatible with your computer. The key difference in modern notebooks is that the connectors match and are close to the same locations. Yes. That LCD should work in a 12" iBook.
