This video gave me the knowledge to look at my similar laptop that everyone was telling me was not worth the risk to fix and found that the main problem they were worried about causing more damage isn’t what they thought! It’s very superficial and nowhere near looking at parts but having a better idea means i know who to listen to and for that I absolutely thank you!
I can't believe how savagely you work with such delicate electronic parts !! all you needed is a heat gun or heat pad to separate the LCD from the touch glass etc.
I appreciate that this was a complicated job. I wish you had edited the video so that you left out the mistakes. Right now it is several times "Oops, that was wrong" and then I had to skip forward and back all the time while making sure that I got to the parts where you found the right way to do it. Also I wish you had shown every little step in detail, even the hidden little screws at the bottom of the screen. Instead you skipped or fast-forwarded a lot where it would be extremely helpful to see exactly what you were doing, how the initial construction was etc. So, thanks, the video helped, but sometimes confused me, too.
Great video, but a warning - you can snap the white clips on the back cover if you prize it off. I found out the hard way and needed a new top cover. The clips are designed so that once the 4 screws and bezel along the bottom are removed you can simply slide the black glass part up and then out towards you. When installing the new screen, if the screen doesn't slide down or cover is not flush then you might find some black clips on the back of the screen have bent inwards and need gently prying back.
why didn't I see this comment sooner dammit. this just happened to me and it's so frustrating. I won't be ordering new lids though, screw it. I'll try a double sided tape or something.
@@fp5126 TL;DR It works 👍🏻 I did put double sided tape and it works but it looks awful and feels awful. The laptop died a few days later though from something completely unrelated and I can't fix it anymore and I can't tell you about long term use. So, say hello to my new Yoga 6 😊
Thanks a lot for this video. The existence of it gave me the confidence to order a new screen and than watching it again while I was repairing it helped a lot. However you did make a major mistake. To disassemble the screen after taking out the two hidden screws, you have to slide the screen about 1mm up and than take it apart. There are several plastic hooks on the plastic back. If you pry it apart as you did in the video, you risk breaking these plastic hooks. To put it together, you do the same in reverse. Stick them together with the screen being about 1 mm higher then the back and slide it into place. Also to anyone doing this repair, there is a plastic ridge on the right side of the screen to route the cable. There are two cables on the left and two plastic ridges on the left. None of them are for routing the cables. I got stuck on this for a really long time. It can also bee seen in this video, before the routing of the cables is corrected because the screen didn't fit to the back. So go from the edge: there are two obvious ridges, don't use those, use the third not obvious one for both cables. Or make photos of the cable routings as suggested in the video. I didn't and had to figure it out on my own, which took an absurd amount of time.
Just finished in record time thanks your your video. Mazel tov! I discovered that the back cover of the display SLIDES up and off once you remove the 2 screws under the covers. No need to pry it off or snap it on. Surprisingly spry little laptop considering it was built in the Win8 era.
Going to attempt this on my Lenovo Yoga 720. Touch screen isn't working after an unfortunate spilled drink and I've tried nearly every software-related fix. Was looking into just buying a Surface Pro or something similar but honestly couldn't find anything that met my needs/budget. Thanks for the great, in-depth video. I work in software engineering but the hardware stuff is always interesting. Will update with how it goes.
A huge thanks for this. I have the same laptop in front of me with a broken digitiser. So glad I watched this before trying to change just the digitiser. I thought it looked like a hell of a job and you confirmed it. I better find a supplier for the complete unit. Thanks once again, I dont have much hair but you just saved it. :-)
hey man I have a laptop that would sometimes give a black screen when you would open or close the lid, I would have to tinker with it by opening/closing it slowly until I found a spot where the screen came on and stayed on, and eventually it just went black forever, doesn't come back on at all now, but the laptop still works, I can hear windows booting up etc etc, do you know what's wrong with it?
Hey @Adamant IT great video. I have the same laptop Yoga 3 14 and was wondering if you knew how to upgrade the wifi card to an Intel AX200 from an Intel AC3620. I've tried to install the new card but the laptop won't boot saying the card is not recognized. Any tips would be welcome. Thanks a lot
Is there a trick in getting the back piece to snap into the screen? I'm having a difficult time getting the back piece to line up with the holes on the bottom front of the screen. I've already cracked one replacement LCD trying to snap the back part on and don't want to do that again. Thanks in advance!
Chris, I've been having the same exact issue with this thing. With the one I'm working on, it doesn't seem like a problem with the clips like suggested, because the clips are 'clippping' fine, it's just that when they do the bottom holes don't line up. Did you ever get this back together correctly? Driving me mad
@@hartcomputers6576 I got it to close by taking the wireless antenna out from the screen altogether. It was fine for me at this point since the computer is always connected via LAN. One day I'll go back and put the wireless antenna back in.
PRO TIP: TEST THE MICS before returning to the customer! That little bugger is a devil to get seated properly. Fixing it doesn't require a complete tear-down. You can remove the back of the display panel by removing the 2 screws and 3 cover plates at the bottom and sliding the back off. The mics connector is the tiny black one at the bottom.
I don't understand... you gave up changing the touch screen, you stopped looking at the screen from 11:00 to 11:45 and then you took a complete piece to continue the video??????... the piece you finished the video is not the part you tried to remove and then gave up!... what video is this?... you start, stop in the middle and then jump to another part without showing how you finished what you were doing before stopping for 45sec? ???
It is a mistake using recorded disconnecting of the screen panel from the lid. The screen must be shifted a bit up and simple out. The installation is in opposit way. The video is misleading.
How about making it VERY CLEAR - AT THE START OF THE VIDEO that your first attempt FAILED. I was taking it apart at I was watching and now a working laptop with a cracked screen is fucked! Thank you so very very much 🤬🤬🤬
If the laptop was originally available with a 1080p option, then yes it can be done. You'll probably need to replace the display cable as well, as the 768p laptops often have a stripped out display cable that won't drive 1080p. So if you attempt it, I would recommend finding a complete display assembly for your laptop that has a 1080p panel in it, and the 1080p display cable.

@@RemyDMarquis Were you able to fix it? I was thinking about glueing it together, but then I will never be able to reopen it if I needed to.

I could have read the comments, I see I am not the first person to mention that the screen slides off the back. 🙄

Can you put the link for purchasing LCD with all required parts?
Is the lenova yoga 3 80j8 built the same way as this? It sure does look the same. Just want to see if the replacement process is the same..
just bought a old lenovo yoga 11e to diagnose faults on the car can i replace the standard screen with a touchscreen
My screen had issues but worked. After this job, the screen stays black. External monitor works fine... any ideas?
any chance of recalling where you acquired the complete assembly? nothing in the description!
hey man I have a laptop that would sometimes give a black screen when you would open or close the lid, I would have to tinker with it by opening/closing it slowly until I found a spot where the screen came on and stayed on, and eventually it just went black forever, doesn't come back on at all now, but the laptop still works, I can hear windows booting up etc etc, do you know what's wrong with it?
Thansk A LOT for this superb video. Any idea of best source of the complete assembly you ended up using? Lenovo or other source? I live in Sweden.
Thank you so much！ Just fixed it. Feels like a huge deal in Black Friday！
Where did you buy display case?
Anyone know if the procedure would be similar on a Lenovo P50?My P50 is excellent except that the touchscreen only partially works.
@12:48 If you have something like a heating plate to soften the adheasive, that might do the trick.
is it possible to replace only the front touch screen digitizer?

Hi can you supply a link to the supplier or where one could purchase from
I find my parts on either eBay or Aliexpress
Informative and detailed video. Thank you for sharing.
Using a hair dryer to heat up the double sided glue makes it 1000% times easier to remove the LCD
Thanks for the video. Very helpful for those who may have to do this.
is the replaced display original ?
Seems not specifically for Yoga 3 14 but Any Lenovo laptop with 14" touchscreen display
I don't understand... you gave up changing the touch screen, you stopped looking at the screen from 11:00 to 11:45 and then you took a complete piece to continue the video??????... the piece you finished the video is not the part you tried to remove and then gave up!... what video is this?... you start, stop in the middle and then jump to another part without showing how you finished what you were doing before stopping for 45sec? ???
The dummy fan means it has no discrete Nvidia GeForce 940M graphics card while mine has 2 functional fan

DC jack broke. Yup!
Очень плохо делает. Поломал все защёлки на крышке.
OMG yesterday i Got my Brother Old Lenovo yoga

I have the lenovo ideapad c340 and the screen is 768p and looks bad so i can upgrade it to 1080p and would the viewing angles get better too ?
