The primary function of the display screen is providing an interactive visual interface, allowing a 10-point multitouch tablet screen and a traditional laptop display. Signs Chromebook screen needs replacement are physical damage (i.e., cracks or black spots), or internal damage (i.e., discoloration or flickering).
Before beginning this replacement guide, make sure to power off the Chromebook and disconnect from any external power sources to prevent electrical harm.
Warning: the LCD Bezel is the frame around the screen providing protection and support to the display. Do not apply excessive pressure to the LCD screen itself or attempt to pry off the strong adhesive that secures the Bezel. This may result in damage such as cracking, pulling layers of the screen off, or pressure spots.
