Here’s my Acer Aspire 5610 notebook with water damaged screen I’m going to fix.First of all remove the battery from the notebook.
Warning: the LCD screen can be easily damaged if you open it up. If you do something wrong the screen might become completely unusable and you’ll have to buy a new screen. It’s very expensive. Think twice before you decide opening the screen. Continue at your own risk.
On this model the inverter board is attached to the screen with two screws. Remove both screws, disconnect the screen cable and remove the inverter board.
Carefully peel off sticky tape and foil and put it aside. You’ll have to put it back in place during the screen reassembly.
Remove two screws from both sides of the screen.
Lift up rubber screw seals and remove all screws.

Carefully separate the screen bezel from the LCD cover and remove the bezel.
Remove two screws from the front and two screws from both sides.
Carefully remove the LCD screen from the cover and place it on the notebook base. Disconnect the video cable and the inverter board cable.
Carefully place the screen upside down on a flat surface. Carefully unglue the film that covers the circuit board and remove two screws from the board (top circles). I wasn’t really sure if I have to remove screws on the bottom, so I removed them just in case. Do not touch the circuit board with fingers.
After both screws are removed you should be able to lift up the circuit board. Be careful, it’s still attached to the LCD.
Start unsnapping the metal frame from the screen. There are a lot of latches on all sides of the screen. You can unlock them with nails or a small flathead screwdriver.
After all latches are opened you should be able to separate the screen into three pieces: metal frame, LCD and background (not sure about correct technical name).
If you have lint or dust inside the screen, probably you’ll find it between the LCD and the background. Do not touch LCD or background with your fingers. I was able to remove dust and lint up with a very soft cloth, barely touching the LCD and background surfaces.
After I split the screen I found that the background has a few some kind of optical layers (three transparent sheets) and in my case they were damaged by water. The water dried out and left stains between these optical layers.
In my case removing dust and lint wasn’t enough and I had to go further.
Very carefully separate the LCD with attached circuit board from the background.
To remove damaged optical layers it’s necessary to remove metal locks on both sides of the screen. It’s like a small clip that keeps layers in place.
After I removed both clips, I was able to look between the layers. At first I tried to clean up the dried water marks with a soft cloth but it didn’t help. The stains were still visible and didn’t want to go away.
Fortunately I had another similar screen laying around, it had a cracked LCD. I decided to borrow the optical layers from the cracked screen and transfer them to my screen. I wasn’t sure if it’s going to work, but as I mentioned before I didn’t really care if I break the screen. It was just an experiment.
So I disassembled the cracked screen and carefully transfered the white background and all transparent layers to my screen.
To avoide water damage ,you can use sleeve casehttp://www.sunvalleyus.com/Cooling-Laptop-Case/
After that I assembled my screen back removing dust and lint with a very soft cloth. Breathlessly connected my new screen to the notebook. Turned it on and…
That’s a miracle, it works!

My ring is rather mainstream but it means the world to me. It is white gold with an ascher diamond and my fiance had it made based on elements we both liked from the many, many rings we had observed but never fallen in love with.

IPS-1042O 10.4 inch SAW Touch Open Frame LCD Monitor –
Very helpful! I kept trying to open the lcd cover with a small screwdriver but it wasn't working, so I tried my fingernail as you mentioned and it worked haha. Now I need to find out how to repair the headphone jack. Thanks.
this video captures the essential awesomeness of the live version of cracked lcd better than any video i’ve ever found online. i very much remember seeing ladytron in april 2006 in san francisco and being blown away. this brings back very fond memories.
I remember seeing Dahr speak at the Edinburgh G8 conference, his was the event I was most looking forward to as I had read all his dispatches.
The lecture was excellent and I felt privilaged to witness it as it was a rerun of his testimony to the WTI. A small clip can be seen here -
I'll look forward to reading his book, I've a great deal of respect for him.
Next time you see him, get him a beer for me

John- Actually, the stacks of car magazines that my father has hoarded since the '60s might prove a more viable resource.
m- Not necessarily. One measly row means you don't see it AND YOU TRIP OVER IT.
RD- Hmmmm. It might just be the white background vs. gray background… coupled with the fact that the photos here have a smaller (and thus, sharper) resolution. Good point. I'll see how the Blogger one reacts with a white background.
u would use some of the sticky tape that comes with the probe & attach that on middle bottom of the cpu itself. Usually the wires are very thin & will not prohibit any clearance issues with the connectors. If that is an issue, then see if u can get some of the same wire & slide it through the bottom of the cpu mounting bracket & then solder/shrink tube it to the sensor end & the other end to ur wires back to the fan controller. Depends on ur setup, supply info if u can and I can suggest
what is the output voltage from a working board should be? it should be ac voltage in what range? thanks
good video. need to replace a cracked screen. will it be easy to figure out once i get to that point?
