Well, it finally happened. I knew eventually I would get a Chromebook with a broken screen in my office and I would be able to show you how easy it is to repair them.

This is usually what they look like when I get them. It is pretty obvious some major damage was done to this poor fella.

However sometimes, the damage is as simple as this. This is a 13" Toshiba Chromebook and we have about 64 of them in our district. Since we have so few of them, it is actually pretty rare that I need to repair this particular model.

If you look at the bottom corners of the screen bezel, just above the keyboard, you will see two small circles. Those are covers for the two small screws that this model has. Other models such as the 11" Dell don't have any screws to hold the screen bezel on.

I usually don't replace the screw covers when I am finished so if a Chromebook comes back across my desk I know if I have worked on it before or not.

Here is what the little holes look like with the screws removed.

I then use my handy dandy pry tool to pull the bezel away from the back part of the screen. For the most part, it pulls right away pretty easily, but you need to make sure you are careful so you don't break all of the little clips on the back side of the bezel.

Here is what it looks like with the bezel off. There are four very tiny screws (two on each side) that hold the display in place. Once those are removed the display should just flop down onto the keyboard.

It is still attached by this small connector though. Simply remove it and plug the new display in. Replace the screws on the side and then the bezel.

Here is what it looked like with the new display before I replaced the bezel. The whole repair took less than 15 minutes and after verifying that everything still worked, I returned it to the teacher.

How easy is that!
