screen cable broken y500

[eillienroc 10]

Hello,

since today the cable that goes from the motherboard to my screen has got damaged.

In particulary in the hinge part, i can sometimes see something but my screen needs to stand at about 50 degrees.

Is this cable replacable or do i need to buy a whole new screen?

Where can i order a cable? i can see the screens can be bought cheap at laptopscreen?

I will try, Im still waiting for the cable.

I once follewed the service manual en extracted my keyboard, motherboard until bare. But i havent detached my screen cause it looks so flimsy.

If anyone could show me how to extract the screen and how this cable should be replaced?

The laptop is now in one peace again without any broken parts, I will reopen everything once ive got this cable and take pictures of my progress.

Be careful with the screen and use a cable in holder (do not forget to put tape)

[eillienroc 10]

What kind of tape do I need?

What do you mean with 'use a cable in holder'?

[lalihifi 10]

Cable must be placed exactly in the same position (as the original)

Connector behind the screen is fixed usually with a tape (is not special , secure the cable in the connector)

Ive seen that my cable has arrived in my country, I hope I can fix it this week.

A laptop that serves as a desktop is not fun...

In case the manual doesn't cut it, there's an official video here. You'll have to fast forward to relevant bit, but it should do the job. Good luck!

The cable is here, im starting. Wish me luck

Finished, quite a fiddling to separate the screen bezel. But after all nothing broke and my screen is up and running again.

I have a fully functioning laptop again

Tape? New cable? Doesnt warranty cover this?

[eillienroc 10]

I didnt want to send my laptop off for a few weeks. I was able to continue word with an external monitor.

btw I've voided the warranty by removing the warranty void stickers to determine what the problem was.

Time is money, 2 weeks without my laptop wouldnt have been good for me.

Hello, sorry to bring this up, but my cable also broke, and I can't find where to buy one. I need paypal to be available, and i need 1080p screen cable, can someone help me?

was the cause an accident or repeated use of the hinge?
