Followed youtube video and now it won't even turn on. Do I need to remove the red film on the back of the display before attaching?

You dont need to remove the film. I would suggest carefully re-seating the connector - make sure they are fully connected. If I recall correctly, there were TWO of them - so make sure both are connected. Also it is easy to crimp the flex cable to the connector on assembly. YOu might want to reassmble checking that carefully.

The easiest thing to do is open up the screen encasing and check the back of the actually screen. Make sure the model is the same and the number of pins are as well

Yes this is the part you need if just the outer screen is cracked. If the LCD is cracked, it either won't turn on at all, or will be black in that area. This is a fairly simple repair, but like he other answer, you need the right tools and you should follow the guide on ifixit.com

Hi Maureen, couple questions real quick! You're trying to replace just the digitizer glass right? Have you already removed the assumed broken glass from the display assembly?

This happened to me too,i would suggest you to buy the LCD which costs around 30 dollars and replace it with broken one.If you need further help let me know.

Try to go through your setup again to see if that resolves the issue. If that doesn't help, you'll need to find an authorized repair facility to send it in for repairs as I don't believe the HDMI ports are a user-replaceable item.

If the reason for the black screen is a fault with the screen. Then yes, I believe that's the part u will need to replace the screen.

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?

I would try a new Video in cable, if problem still exists check the hdmi cable. If not a cable problem, return it as the conversion chip may be bad.

Brian, I am so unqualified to answer your question, it is almost funny. When I replaced mine, I made sure the number was exactly the same as mine. Then I watched every Youtube video on how to replace my exact LCD screen that I could find. I figured it was worth a shot because it would be far cheaper than buying a new laptop. I did replace the screen and it works. There was a difference in where the plug connected (left or right and mine was the opposite, I don't remember which was which) but luckily the length of the cord was long enough and flat enough that I could connect it and fold it over and it actually fit just fine behind the screen when everything was put back together.

Did you check the screen before completing the install. When I installed mine the screen is very delicate and easily broken. You will need to send it back as a defect.

Rebeca unfortunately you need to replace the display . The flex cable is part of it.

The kit would only fix a broken screen. Can you still operate your device? Is the background color or overall tone of the image green? It sounds like you are having issues with the video chip or other "in the case" component. Take it to an official Apple repair location...the other advise buy another one : )

did you turn off the power for 30 seconds and then turn it in. the display should come on,try this first.

It should be fine did you just break the screen? It comes all in one I think on this model!

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.
