Asus X200CA Display Replacement

Introduction

Use this guide to replace a broken or faulty display for your Asus X200CA laptop.

The LCD display of a computer is the screen that a laptop uses in order to display the video sent from the graphics card. A broken display can cause the screen to become solid black, or can cause a screen to have discolored LCDs. Discolored LCDs mean that images will show in the wrong color, or may not appear at all. If you are unsure of whether the screen is broken, refer to the blog post “How do I know if my screen is broken?” This blog post will give a run down of different types of breaks and what to look for to identify each.

Before using this guide, consider checking the battery and its condition. If the battery is failing, then the display will not show. To replace the battery, follow the Asus X200CA Battery Replacement guide.

The Asus X200CA display is made of glass. If your screen is shattered, follow the Taping Over The Display guide. This guide will ensure you do not hurt yourself on the glass or spill glass onto your work surface. The Taping Over The Display guide refers to an iPhone, but the concepts can be applied to the laptop screen.

Before beginning, make sure your laptop is completely off and that it is disconnected from external power sources.
