(clevo P950EP6) need to safely get into laptop display, fix backlight

The backlight in my clevo P950EP6 (15.6" defiance v from pcspecialist) has come loose. If I tilt the screen too far back (past about 80 degrees) the backlight turns off, rendering the display largely illegible. I've already checked the status of the motherboard connectors and both are fine, so I believe the connector on the display end is loose.

Does anyone have experience getting into these laptops? I'd like to be able to fix it without sending it back because I really don't want to wait on a company to fix it and lose work time in the process.

The display has 2 screws that appear to hold the plastic bezel to the aluminium back and no other visible fasteners.

Hi @kyraa ,

Found this video for a Clevo laptop (not your model but...) LCD replacement, which may or may not be helpful to you.

Apologies if you've already seen this.

This looks similar to mine. I was hoping there would be a way to get the display apart without getting a semi-sharp object near the display panel of my laptop but that's life.

I will update this post with the results of my attempts later.

Hi @kyraa ,

As mentioned in the video, use an old credit card as a pry tool.

Good luck!

display assembly was held together by a whole mess of clips but I did manage to get it open. The cable that connects the panel to the motherboard is damaged but I managed to hack together a stop-gap until I find a replacement.
