Introdução

If your Lenovo IdeaPad 3-15IML05 display assembly has physical damage, broken LCD, or degraded visual quality, use this guide to replace it.

Before beginning this guide, it's recommended that you reset the display, adjust brightness, and check for power. For additional diagnostic help, check out the device’s troubleshooting page.

The display assembly is the entire top lid on your laptop. Over time, it’ll receive wear and tear or the LCD screen could break. If the LCD screen breaks, replacing the entire display assembly is an optimal solution. By replacing your display assembly, you extend your laptop’s lifespan and reduce e-waste.

Working with lithium-ion batteries can be hazardous. A connected or swollen battery may catch fire if damaged. Before beginning this repair, discharge the battery below 25%, power off the laptop, and unplug all peripherals.

If you encounter a swollen battery, refer to this guide for disposal.
