Ambient Weather WS-1001-Wifi LCD Screen Replacement

Introduction

In this repair guide, we will be replacing the LCD screen. This will need to be replaced if the screen is cracked or unresponsive when the device is powered on. For this fix you will need a Philips #1 screwdriver and a small plastic tool to remove the ribbon cable and pry the plastic covering open. It is imperative to carefully remove the ribbon cable because it is connected to the circuit board that powers the system. This guide is fairly simple and requires a minimal amount of time.

Good Luck!

The ribbon cable is attached inside so the two pieces will not come completely apart. See step 3.

Step 3

Using a plastic opening tool, carefully press the black bar towards the ribbon and away from the white bar in order to release it.
The ribbon cable should come out and be attached to the back of the LCD screen resulting in two separate pieces.
