*crack* goes my Acer. Ouch. Time to get a new LCD from eBay.

Ouch!

My poor Acer 1810T Olympic Edition, after I slipped on stairs.
No scratch, thanks to the neoprene case.
Works perfectly except for a beautiful crack on the screen glass.

Thankfully I'm using an Acer -- replacement LCD for $99 from eBay.
No $500 LCD's (like for the Sony Vaio P series)
And I'm just going to cannibalize my Acer Aspire One 11.6" netbook for now. All Acer-manufactured 11.6's use identical screens (Acer Ferrari One, Gateway 11.6" netbook, Acer Aspire One 11.6", Acer 1410 series, Acer 1810 series)

 

Hello,

To save time waiting...

I have transplanted the 11.6" screen from my old Acer Aspire One netbook (AO751h) into the Acer Aspire 1810T. The screen have identical connectors and one is a Samsung and the other is AUO, so manufactured in different factories.

The screen boots, I see the boot screen, and Windows loading screen, but then it blanks out white when it should be in the Windows 7 desktop.

I suspect it's LCD parameters needing to be slightly different between the two different LCD screens, so I'm going to reboot into Safe Mode, go to VGA, and then reinstall the graphics driver. Keep tuned...

 

Okay, this worked:
- Booted into Safe mode
- Uninstalled the graphics driver
- Rebooted
- Reinstalled the graphics driver

Presto!

 

I used generic instructions off the Internet for disassembling screens. Many recent laptops appear to use similiar LCD disassembly and replacement techniques.

However, there are some important differences that applies to Acer manufactured 11.6" portables.

1. The microphone connector is non-removable (epoxied). However, the microphone is attached as a sticker or in a holder, so peel the microphone off instead and keep it connected on its ribbon cable. The ribbon cable may be covered by a silver "metal cloth" shield...

2. For Acer 1810T it is very difficult to remove the bezel without carefully disconnecting the hinge first when the laptop is closed or partially closed. There's a horizontal 'seam' you can see in both hinges at the rear when the laptop screen is closed, slide an exacto knife or screwdriver into these seams (do it for both of the hinges -- the seam in just the movable hinge, not the seam along the rear of the whole laptop), to disconnect the top part of the hinge from the bottom part of the hinge. 2 millimeters of opening in these two seams would be full disconnection. Then open up the laptop screen, and remove the bezel. If you do not do this first, you will probably accidentally break off a piece of plastic, or even break the hinge, when you try to pull on this. WARNING! (But at least you don't have to take apart the rest of the laptop to remove the bezel, if you follow these instructions)

3. It can be tricky to reconnect the LCD to its metal frame, because it doesn't open 180 degree flat - you will want to make sure it's supported temporarily by an object behind the screen, and make sure you don't accidentally drop those screws -- it's much harder to get the tiny ones back in than out. Holding it by its head by needlenose pliers while using other hand on a jeweller's screwdriver to initially insert them in, can also help.

4. If it's hard to remove screws with jeweller's screwdriver, you can press the jeweller's screwdriver in hard while using pliers to carefully and slowly twist the thin handle of the jeweller's screwdriver a few millimeters -- to get it started. Then it's much easier to remove the screws. This does the job without wrecking the screw heads.

So at least, this is confirmation that the Acer 11.6" Aspire One (low end netbook) is fully compatible with the Acer Aspire 1810T (high end ultraportable) and are fully interchangeable. It is reported all 11.6" LCD's 1366x768 in all Acer and Gateway are all interchangeable (1410, 1810, Aspire One, Ferrari One, and Gateway netbook)

 

Okay, I have purchased a replacement LCD screen off eBay and reinstalled it back to the Acer Aspire One 11.6" netbook (ao751h)

So, there you go, the sequence of events:
- Cracked my Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T 11.6" screen
- Transplanted my Acer Aspire One netbook (ao751h) screen to the 1810T
- Later, got around to buying an 11.6" screen off eBay (cost: $106 USD)
- Installed new screen into Acer Aspire One netbook (ao751h).

 

Are there higher quality replacement screens - ones with better contrast ratios - available?

 

Has there been any sucess with the T9500 in 5315-2153. Do you need to do anything if there not embedded? Will the t9500 work with the 1.45 Bois? will it be ok if the processor die is different? These are the ones I've looked at
