Introdução

A cracked or otherwise visibly broken screen will require a complete replacement of the LCD assembly. This guide will instruct you how to safely remove and replace the screen assembly on the Lenovo ThinkPad L460.

IMPORTANT:

Always ground yourself when working with sensitive electronics. Periodically touch a large metal object such as a table or chair while working or use an ESD wrist strap connected to a large metal object.

Before you begin, turn off your laptop and disconnect from the charger or any peripherals.

    • Flip the black plastic cover up to reveal the Wi-Fi card.

    • Slide a thin, ESD-safe pry tool or angled tweezers under the metal neck of the coaxial cable connectors (as close to the head as possible) and lift straight up from the Wi-Fi card.

    • To make the display connector easier to access, disconnect the two white JST connectors next to it before disconnecting the display connector.

    • Use a spudger or a clean fingernail to flip up the locking flap on the display connector—this is the unlocked position.
