How to replace an Acer Aspire 5742z screen
Step one
Disconnect any, (and all,) external devices, (eg, speakers/memory sticks,) attached to your laptop. Next, unplug your laptop and remove the battery. Once you've done that, prise the aesthetic covers, (used to disguise screws,) off of the bottom corners of the front bezel. Then unscrew the screws and, set them aside safely.
Step two
Gently, (but firmly,) prise the front bezel away from the rest of the screen casing. Work your way around each edge of the display, easing the front bezel from the machine. Remember to take care when removing the front bezel, to avoid breaking it in the process.
Step three
Unscrew the screws, (six in total; three on each side,) found on the left and right hand sides of the display.
Step four
Pull the top of the screen towards you. At the back of the screen, (at the top,) you should see a thin cable running towards the laptop web cam. Disconnect this cable. Pull the screen further toward you and lay it to rest on the laptop keyboard. On the back of the screen, you'll see a thick cable attached to a gold connector and, held in place using strips of tape or adhesive. Disconnect this cable.
Step five
Lift the broken Acer Aspire 5742z screen free from the laptop. To complete your repair, (and fit your replacement screen,) simply complete the above instructions in reverse.
