Acer Aspire 3 A315-58-350L Screen Replacement

Introduction

The screen is half of the computer, allowing you to see anything that is accessed and making the laptop usable. If you see improper colors or if it is completely black when turned on, then it could need a screen replacement. Although a relatively easy fix, the replacement is a little involved. Before opening up the laptop, ensure that it is powered off for at least 30 seconds and unplugged from anything else.
