LCD Panels and Screens to Keep Your Lenovo IdeaPad Going
A number of 11.6-inch LCD panels for the Lenovo IdeaPad support a range of different resolutions for different laptop models, including those containing Celeron processors. The replacement LCD screens available have different aesthetic appearances depending on the specific model. Replacement screens have different functional features that affect user interactivity as well as display quality under varying environmental circumstances, and when you crack or break your existing screen, these panels can be a lifesaver.
What are some of the functional features of the screens?LCD screens may come equipped with touch capability, allowing users to interact directly with their screens in situations where they do not wish to use a mouse. These products may be purchased by somebody who has a functioning laptop computer but a dysfunctional display. Not every LCD comes equipped with this feature, however. In addition, some of the panels contain anti-glare functionality with their finishes. These types of panels are useful for those who tend to work in areas where there are abundant sources of light.
Plastic and metallic backings are designed to provide mild resistance to bumps and scratches. Frames have bezeled edges that provide protection to the LCD screen when closing laptops. Edges are bezeled with all of the products available. Panel sizes are measured between diagonal corners of the LCD screen. Resolutions supported between LCD displays vary on an individual product basis with some of the products supporting full HD video output. The panels that support full HD are also compatible with video that is not full HD.
What are the aesthetic appearances available?An IdeaPad from Lenovo can contain frames and backings with different colors. Replacement frames are available in several different thicknesses, occupying different amounts of space. Users who prefer especially compact designs may find designs with minimal frame space over those with frames that are prevalent. In some instances, there may be two colors used along the frames if multiple materials are used. Rubber edges of another color may be present and be a different color than the actual frame. Some of the frame and backing colors are:
- Silver
- Black
- White
The recommended procedure for installation varies between individual products. To ensure safety, users should refer to owner's instructions for specific steps and isolate all electrical sources prior to beginning work. Improper installation can cause damage to the laptop, so care should be taken and specific instructions followed. In each instance, users will be required to:
- Step 1: Remove the old LCD screen by taking off the plastic hinge that is used to connect the panel to the laptop base.
- Step 2: Once inside, connecting electrical components are removed before detaching the old screen.
- Step 3: Finally, the new LCD panel can then be attached and parts reassembled.
