Wrong laptop Screen.

it’s not for 900-13ISK2

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/d/…

Shawn Thomas - Mar 18, 2018

this is for the 131sk2 not the 131sk ?

i wasn’t aware the was a difference until my screen developed issues. i have read the 131SK is glued to the back panel not clipped in

is there a way to figure this out for sure?

Danny B - May 14, 2018

I can confirm that the monitor on my 900 does not have the strip at the bottom of the screen to expose the screws. I have a video on YouTube here. [|https://youtu.be/mBiChrP6MAA] It shows the issue with the video cable, and that the screen is glued all the way around. Thanks for the rest of the info tho

…. and you REALLY don’t have to take apart the entire MOBO and all the DB’s as well, just to replace the screen. All that is handled on the other side of the hinge. So not needed…. in my opinion. Of course, you DO want to disconnect your battery.
