HELP! Laptop screen replacement problem

[Castle_Grim_Park]

I have a problem. I broke my laptop screen and after the crying, I ordered a new one. I'm fairly computer savvy and the replacement looks simple enough. I've only hit one snag that the Google has yet to give me the answer for. All the tutorials, whether on YouTube or online, say that you need to disconnect it from AC power and the battery. I however, cannot disconnect the battery. It's built in to my laptop and I'd rather not get too crazy with all of it. Is this something I can do without disconnecting the battery or is there some trick I need to know. I would appreciate anyone in the community that could give me a little advice. I'll do your avatar up with my artistic skills... I'll give you a back rub... maybe not that one.

 

Linus, I'll drive down to your offices if I need to beg in person if need be.... please... I'm poor and I don't want to f**k up the laptop I'm still paying for...

I've done a lot of laptop screen replacements, maybe two or three a month for the last 3 years. In most laptops you can remove the battery no matter what even if it's an internal battery. You have to take the entire laptop apart to replace the screen and an internal laptop battery is generally just connected to a header on the motherboard you can just unplug once you get it apart. It's a major replacement and I have yet to replace a screen that doesn't require disassembly of the laptop. It's not usually something you can just pop out and pop in. May I ask what model of laptop it is? And can you please explain what you mean by the battery is built in. Is it soldered to the motherboard or have you not taken the laptop apart yet?

most of the stress of repairing a pc is just stress, i had a really fragile laptop that i was freaking out over since i broke the screen, and i woke up one day with nothing to do and i had the "i dont give a f**k feeling" so i didnt care if i broke the laptop or not, so i tore in and replace the screen and broke nothing. dont stress when replacing the parts and taking it apart, it may seem like alot and it may seem like you are gonna break something but dont lose confidence at all. thats the worst thing you can do.

In my laptop and from most laptops I have seen disconnecting and removing the internal battery is pretty simple.

Yeah it's usually pretty simple, but you do have to take the laptop apart to get to it, not completely just remove the bottom panel. I don't think OP is taking the bottom off to remove the internal battery, the battery doesn't necessarily need to be removed either, just unplugged, I think I might have worded it to sound harder than it actually is but I was mainly referring to the screen replacement in my post not the actual battery removal. The screen replacement can be a completely different story especially if it's a touch screen model. And depends on if OP is just replacing the panel itself or the entire upper screen assembly.

The model on the bottom says it's an Asus fx53v. It's a fairly chunky laptop to crack open. Like I said, I'd rather not have to do it but I shall. I just don't look forward to opening up the beast.

Understandable but its the only way to disconnect an internal battery.

Well damn it... I'll just bite the bullet and disconnect the darn thing. Thanks for everyone's help
