This is replacing of the LCD screen on an Inspiron 1525. The operation is simpler than it is on most laptops and has no real snags or catches. One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that when prying the glued on bezel off is to be careful not to bend it. You can end up with weird white creases that cosmetically look bad, but it will be fine otherwise.

Excellent video. I successfully replaced my Insprion 1525 screen with one from Ebay (cost me ~$140 after shipping and customs) thanks to this video. I did have to do one additional step – I had to unscrew the inverter board from the bottom of the old cracked LCD and then use scotch tape to tape it onto the bottom of the new LCD so that it could be hooked into the system board. I had to use scotch tape because the mounting screws were positioned differently on the new LCD.
Thanks again. Cheers!
great video mate, will follow your steps, i have a question, do you reccomend the lcd screens on ebay or is it taking a chance?
It’s pronounced insperon
You wouldn’t need to get one with an inverter, but notice how it’s mounted. Mine was riveted, so you’d need to pop it off, file down the rivet popups, then tape it down. It’s just a little bit of extra work, I got one with the inverter bec it was a reasonable price
Excellent video! I would like to ask you a question: why did you have to order it with an inverter? I’m about to purchase a screen and am wondering if I should buy it with an inverter too. FWIW, I cracked mine with the pressure of my thumb as I was trying to lift my computer from the desk (yeah, I know). Part of the screen displays everything just fine, so it seems my inverter is running OK (?). Would greatly appreciate your comments.
All I really want to do is remove the bezel. But it seems to be stuck on hard along the bottom and I don’t want to snap it.
I bought one from eBay seller laptopservicecenter (I’m not affiliated with him, or eBay, but he does have more). I bought one from someone else before without an inverter and it did not work with my inverter.
hey thanks for the video, i had to look everywhere to find a replacement video without having to pay 80 bucks at a computer tech. but how did u know what exact screen to purchase?
