The LCDs looked good and were readable until I removed the protection covering, now I cannot see the LCDs. What's happened?

Maybe the connection in the back was loose or when you took the cover off, water or moisture destroyed the electronics

Just got mine today and noticed some dead pixels on the LCD as well. Have yours gone away? Did more show up?

it was plug and play for me, no issues at all for the last 6months+. I'd say just keep exchanging the unit, or look for different seller with a different batch; and also make sure that your LCD cable is really securely connected to the panel, and that it hasn't been damaged from disassembling in the first place.

I couldnt remove the old connector (that part that hangs out at the bottom of the screen) without damaging the LCD part. At the end I had to order the all LCD panel (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009OZVUK6/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) which work perfectly.

I have this same problem. Do I need to replace the main circuit board or the display board. I can get all readings, just no lighted buttons such as power, generating etc.

Probably the LCD element in the screen is busted. That's the bad news, but the good news is that they are easily replaceable. Kits are available right here on Amazon for roughly $50 and very good instructional videos can be found on YouTube. My 13-year-old was able to replace hers all by herself as I watched over. The Chromebooks are so thin, they just don't stand up to many bumps and bruises. Fortunately, unlike some "fruity" companies ;-) Chromebooks are easy and relatively inexpensive to repair.

Glass digitizer-- will fix as long as you didn't break the LCD under the glass. I also used a heat gun.

I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up? The old one is very easy to remove and replace on the new display. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to lift the gray/black tape that holds the screen in. You can remove both gently. Apply them to the new screen. The outer glass is definitely included. Replacing these screens alone (no outer glass) is impossible because the screen is glued very hard to the glass. Separating the two is impossible. The glass I received seems to be the same thickness as the original glass, but I wouldn't test to see if it holds up to stresses as well :-) I received one with the speaker mesh and one without, so it's a toss-up?

If you are looking for a response from a technical perspective, I am unable to provide an answer for you. However, from a lamen's persepective, I was able to view the screen with no visual indication of the pixels. The images were all clear. I hope this is helpful.

Hello,Based on my own experience, this is the problem with the LCD panel. In the case of mine, the digitizer (the touch glass) is cracked but still working, but there is a black strip along the crack on the LCD. After replacing the LCD, everything is working fine now.

It may have been defective. My touchscreen worked, but had a greenish tint to it. I pulled it off and am using a screen guard. You should contact the vendor and request an exchange. Good Luck.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I never had that problem with mine. My problem was the LCD display showing erratic characters on it.

After replacing my LCD mine was blank as well. It seemed to work because I could hear sounds. I was fortunate to have another mini so I mapped out the screen (location of buttons) and was able to unlock the mini and reset it. The screen works fine now. I guess the software just needs to be reset. Maybe a full power down and back would work as well but you would need to identify where you need to swipe to power it off.

Please do not make the same mistake I made... it seems that you are in need of a screen replacement not a new LCD (since it still functions). I bought a new LCD to fix my mini only to learn, once I had changed it, that it had nothing to do with the damage.

Yes, but for me the repair did not go well. I successfully replaced the LCD and it brought up the image. However it had very noticeable diffusion lines which made the screen almost unusable. It was also difficult to glue down the new screen firmly enough to avoid artifacts appearing when the laptop was moved or the screen repositioned.

That would be your LCD. The little spot you saw on the screen was an ink spot. So you need to replace your lcd not your Digitizer unless the surface is shattered as well.

good afternoon, thanks for asking I live in Venezuela lcd, get me a month ago by the inconveniences in the country, but I have two weeks of having the screen installed in the cell and the lcd is presenting as red lines that cross images and also if I have a long time with continuous use the lcd starts to lose color. I can do in that case? thank you
