-You will have to replace the display panel, which is a rather simple job but may take some time depending on your device configuration. The following is a general idea of the steps needed to do that, though I do not know your exact device, only similar ones, so take your time, take care, and make sure you are careful not to damage anything. As always, follow proper safety procedures for working with electronics such as grounding yourself and disconnect any power plugs from anything you're working on. [br]

+Here is a video showing the procedure on a similar model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCU7zolCfok
+
+Please note that while this video does show a screen replacement, I cannot recommend his methods. He does not disconnect the battery or follow other safety procedures, leading to a much higher chance of short circuit or damaging the laptop.
+
+
+
+Written below is the full procedure with the safety steps before the actual removal of the screen. This is the method I will recommend, but doing any repairs is always at your own risk, following safety procedures or not.
+
+
+
First step is to take off the bottom panel.
Then you will disconnect the battery immediately.
After that, find the display connectors (any ribbon, cord, or wire that is coming through the hinges from the screen to the motherboard). These can include ZIF connections, press connections, coaxial connections, or sometimes others. Disconnect them all.
Then unscrew any screws holding the hinges in.
Removing the assembly now is a matter of opening the lid to the right angle and gently separating the display assembly from the hardware.
With the assembly removed, Remove the bezel (it is held on by adhesive, and should be easy enough to remove with an opening pick or something similar).
You can now unscrew the screen, which should be held in place with one screw in each corner.
Finally, disconnect the other end of the ribbon cable that connects into the bottom of the screen, and remove anything else holding it in place. You have now successfully removed the display panel from your laptop.
With the screen completely removed, find the part number on the back. It may be printed directly on the metal or on a sticker. There may be multiple different strings of characters printed in various places back there. Just google those strings of characters one at a time until one gives you results for vendors selling the screen that you need. That is your display model number.
There will assuredly be multiple vendors selling the screen, and you can choose based on price, shipping to your country, time to delivery, or general trustworthiness. They will typically be all relatively close in price, and any vendor advertising a part for under half price everyone else is almost assuredly a scam, so avoid them.
Order the display from your chosen vendor. and when it arrives, install it by following the above steps in reverse.
