Can I install new laptop screen? ? ?

[WJB05]

My sister-in-law has purchased a replacement screen for her Dell Inspiron 7500 and has asked me to help her install it. Can someone of intermediate to advanced PC skills install a laptop screen? Thanks

I did it once on an old compaq and it wasnt too hard... id use google to hopefully find a step by step walkthrough online.

Also, you can probably hunt for the service manual on Dell's website. That should tell you how to change it step by step.

I found the following information regarding installing laptop screen LCD INSTALL

The steps in the slide show and video do not look too bad. I found on another site that the Inspiron 7500 has three different 15" screen part numbers. How can I determine which one her 7500 needs?

Addenduum: I'll check for the service manuel. Thanks.

if she still has the old screen take the model from there and get another of the same model.

I found a link to Dell's reference manual for you. Dell Inspiron 7500

Good luck!

Crimson, Thanks much for your help! Do you know if the screens are interchangeable? Could the only difference be resolution?

^ Does anyone know if these screens are interchangeable? Thanks.
