Sometimes, due to age, stress, damage or other factors, your IBM T43 laptop's LCD screen might stop working properly. It is a sensitive piece of equipment, so it is not an uncommon occurrence. If it happens and your T43 is not under warranty, having the LCD screen replaced can be costly. It is possible, however, to replace the screen yourself in order to save money and cut down on the repair wait time.

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You'll Need:

Small Phillips-head screwdriver
Laptop screws (included with laptop)

1
Attach the mounting bracket to one side of LCD screen with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Repeat on the opposite side with the other bracket.
2
Attach the LCD screen cable into the screen port on the laptop. Fit the screen into the chassis and attach the night light cable at the top of the chassis to the screen.
3
Plug the video cable on the screen into the port on the right side of the inverter board.
4
Fit the display bezel onto the front of the screen unit and press around the perimeter to seal the bezel to the screen unit.
5
Attach the bezel to the display unit with the screws and screwdriver. Attach the seals over the screw heads to cover them.
