how hard is it to replace the screen

You are better off sending it off for someone else to do it. You have to buy a heat gun and special tools. They are very delicate so the slightest mistake will render the screen worthless.

Very! It dosn't use screws to hold it together. 2 sided adhesive. Have to use a heat gun and be very carefull. Broke the backlight doing it. Now those are hard to find.... and expensive.

The job is tedious. You must remove all remnants of the broken screen. Then you must apply adhesive. Connect a ridiculously short lcd connector. Then install the lcd and bezel. Those are the steps but it can easily be 5 hours. Plus curing time for the adhesive.

I would recommend against it. The bezel holding the LCD panel is glued on, and taking it off is a pain -- it's sure to leave some damage if it's your first try. Then once it's off, the LED back panel sheet has to be completely dust free, otherwise you'll see specks on your screen. I got the laptop for free from a friend who had a cracked screen, so it didn't matter too much for me but I wouldn't do it again.

Should do the trick. When you go to replace it, there is a tiny latch with a bar that you have to gently pry up to take off the old screen and attach the new one. Took me a minute to figure it out, but I was pleased with the results. May be helpful to watch an online video on how to replace a computer screen which I did.

Yes it might be for some. You have to have a lot of patience. There is some very good vids you'll find on YouTube do your research and see if it's worth the cost to repair yourself If you think you might break it vs. Going to a repair shop. If you do go to a shop should cost you more than 20 bucks for the labor. Minus the replacement screen.

It is a touch screen, but very complicated to replace, you will want to look at it done on YouTube to get a better idea of the process.

You're going too have too take it completely apart to replace the screen. You can look upon YouTube a video that should show you step by step. I had already replacedthe screen on my phone and had a little kit with the tools to pry the devices apart (came with phone screen). This tablet screen doesn't come with any tools but you may be able too make do with simple items.

Nope. It's a fragile, bad product and they no longer make replacement screens. The only solution is to find one with a working screen and take it out to replace yours.

Hell yes!!!! Just watch videos on YouTube how to replace, dont rush, take your time, be very careful with connecting wires back, make sure they at correct spot perfectly before u push them in, about in 1 hour u can complete. Much easier then replacing screen on Iphone 4, iphone 4 screen replacement is nightmare...

I wouldn't suggest changing the screen yourself, you basically have to take all of the parts out of it to change it and you have to change out the LED as well.

Yeah buddy, you can do it by yourself. The tools are included. But is better if you take that screen to a professional

My son stepped on his and shattered the screen, it also powered up but was unusable. I ordered the replacement screen, and then I looked for a youtube video on how to replace the glass. It was pretty easy, I needed very small screwdrivers and a blow dryer to soften the adhesive of the old screen. They used a tool to separate the glass from the tablet that I didn't have, but I was able to make due. It was a cost effective solution for us.

No, actually pretty easy. Follow the directions and have a heat gun to loosen the old adhesive. Took me about a half hour the first time I did it. Make sure you peel off ALL the backing from the screen before installing. There was a protective film on Both sides. I forgot to remove both and screen looked cloudy in sunlight. Had to take back apart and redo. All in all an easy kit though.

Negative. All of the parts, earpiece, front camera, touch sensor, etc, are all original equipment from your phone. They need to be delicately disconnected from the old screen and reattached to the new one. The New screen comes with tools and directions to do all of this and will take about 2 hours (for me) to complete. I had no problems and only consider myself a medium skilled techie. If you can follow directions, have a decent lights, a delicate touch and some patience, everything should work out fine.

hi, I let someone at a Comp shop with plenty of experience replace my screen.He was not expensive $25 for all the whole and no problems. My screen was damaged and I only got the replacement screen--no cables.Less than a 1/2 hours of work

Not to difficult to do. I recommend also getting a replacement bezel with the adhesive tape. Took me 15 minutes and good as new.

Replacing the glass really does take a heat gun. Being overly cautious, I used a hair dryer on a low setting and this took forever. Patience is the key to separate the glass from the video panel. Obviously, I didn't have patience this day so I ended up breaking the panel as well (thankfully I had insurance). There are video's on YouTube that explain the whole process. Can it be done - YES! Is lots of patience required - YES! If the screen in my replacement phone goes again, I have a little more confidence to do this once more.

Not difficult, but tedious. If you don't have two hours and no distractions, it could be frustrating. I recommend buying the kit with all the tools and glass and adhesive (&lt;$20) for the first time you do this. Make sure you have isopropyl alcohol (91% works better than the weaker stuff) and a clean, lint-free cloth (white t shirt is good) or high quality paper towels (like bounty). And wash your hands well after you remove the old adhesive, and before you remove the protective film from the new glass. Get your mind right, get in the zone, and become a smart-phone glass replacement technician! It's good money on the side, but if you charge full price, save the money from the first few jobs for insurance in case you mess one up. If you can negotiate a no-fault deal, then charge a discount price.
