devilbladz Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 So i just got the new model from reflex notebook and it came with a defective LCD, anyone know how hard it is to replace the LCD on this model? Because i may ask reflex notebook if they can send me a replacement panel, that i can install myself. http://i.imgur.com/BHJ28yH.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regis2 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm not sure about whether they'll let you replace the LCD but I think they can repair it themselves so you won't have to ship your laptop in the states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2ultima Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Wow, I can't believe that shipped out. You'd think someone would notice it before it left; assuming it wasn't damaged in shipping. I don't know if reflex notebook offers this feature, but they can send you a replacement part and you can send back the defective part; it's called a Cross-ship according to XoticPC back over on NBR. They won't cross-ship for everything, though. They may not want to let you get a screen that way. If you know where to find a disassembly guide though (I believe there's one on this forum you can get access to when you make enough quality posts) you can try to do it yourself, but if you mess up that'll be the end of your warranty.

Moderator BAKED Posted September 25, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 25, 2013 It's usually very easy to change the lcd in a laptop, you'll find the service manual in this thread: http://forum.techinferno.com/clevo-sager/3837-clevo-service-manuals.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2ultima Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 He needs to get 4 more quality posts though before he can see those manuals; if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidosho Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Manufacturers or builders generally won't allow end users (customers) change major parts like screens themselves. RAM, HDD and optical, etc are user upgradeable, but if anything else is taken to bits, your warranty is often voided, especially if as D2 Ultima said, you accidentally damage something as you do it. I custom build Clevo chassis, we have the same sort of policy, we ask customers to return the machine during the warranty for major faults including transit damage.

regis2 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Yeah Pro-Star has the same policy. Sager lets you update the BIOS yourself though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipwreck79 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I just did a panel exchange on my W230ST myself, about the easiest repair you could imagine, you just have to unclip the lcd front cover carefully, remove 4 screws, remove the adhesive tape that holds the cable to the panel, replace the panel and put it all together again. Takes 5 minutes at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
