How to replace LCD Screen on Lenovo Legion 15IMH05H. Step-by-step instructions

This is a Lenovo LEGION 5
Model:15IMH05H screen replacement guide

To begin turn the laptop off and disconnect the power cord. Normally it is better
to remove the battery but in this case it is too much work to do, so we have to be very
careful with the connectors.

Start removing the bezel. Pull the inner edge of the bezel away from the glass unsnapping
the tabs underneath. Start from the left side and then go around the perimeter.
Put the bezel aside.

The LCD is glued to the back cover. There are two plastic tabs at the bottom that can be used
to remove the glue from underneath the LCD screen. Use a tweezers to pick up the tab and pull
the tub removing the stretching stripe of glue from the right side. Pick the tub
on the left side and pull out the stripe of glue form the left side. In our case we were able
to partially remove the glue from the bottom part. The screen is still held in place with a glue
on the top. Use a plastic pic to pry off the screen from the back cover. Pull out the remaining
left side. Place the LCD on the keyboard.

The video connector is secured with a clear tape. Using plastic pick and fingers gently peel off
the tape. Open the connector bracket. Disconnect the video cable. Discard the old panel.

Take the new LCD screen and place it on the keyboard. Reconnect the video cable and close the
connector's bracket. Secure the connector with a clear tape.

CAUTION! It is very important not to force any connectors.
As well you must not twist or slant the connector when plugging it in.

Lift the screen up and lean it on the back cover. We now can taste the screen.
Turn the laptop on. The start up graphics appear and we can finish the installation process.

Your new display is likely to come with no adhesive. We offer standard double-sided adhesive
and apply it on the right side of the back cover making sure that the tab wouldn't be under
the screen, so we can pull the glue out in case we need to replace the screen again.
Remove the protective film from the adhesive. Apply another piece of tape on the left side
of the back cover. Remove the protective film.

Lift the screen up and using a fine microfiber cloth apply pressure to the display along
the edges to catch the adhesive. Remove the protective film from the new screen.
Now we can replace the bezel. Start from the bottom pressing firmly to snap the tabs in.
Go around the perimeter. Use one hand to support the back cover while snapping the tabs along
the bottom edge.

Reconnect the power cord. Turn the laptop on. And we are done!

Really good tutorial. The hardest part for me was making sure I got the 40-pin connector seated all the way, but I eventually got everything working. Thanks!

Thanks, I followed the instructions step by step, and my PC screen placement was done without any issues. Laptop works fine.

Before you start replacing the matrix, the first thing you need to do is disconnect the battery so that there is no power because in this way you can only damage the matrix

Awesome Video! Do you know if it is possible to install the mini LED 3, 2k screen from the Legion 9i into my Legion slim 7 gen 8 AMD?

[adelahmed]

Thank you! Your video is very helpful.

[balazskovari]

Good video! A quick one, if I may? Can the camera be replaced without removing the display first?

[Aileron]

Disconnect the battery first! I tried doing things exactly the way the video describes - ended up frying something on the motherboard.

does turning off the battery in bios does the same as taking out the battery physically does it have the same effect or not

I want to buy this laptop screen, the normal one is 144hz? Also another difference if I wanna upgrade to 165hz display?

[SolAcu]

Good day! I currently have the same model of legion 5i laptop but it has the 120hz display instead of the 144hz display. Is it possible to upgrade from 120hz display to 144hz display?

[VictorLopez-tnqv]

nice video, is normal to have screen bleeding in this model?

[ryanzmuda]

Do you rally need double side electrical tape. Or would any double sided thin tape do. Also why does the official service guide say you have to do much more to remove this?

[TheRealMonkeyDogMan]

Can you provide a link for the replacement screen? Also, how many pins does this model have?

[stitch]

I did all the steps you did but laptop isn’t showing anything but it’s on and charging what did I do wrong

[hisokaiq]

is there a glossy version for the same laptop model? And what does "-$2 Matte IPS, 1080p, Professional color range" mean? cuz I read the descriptions and didn't get it also what is the difference between the "-$2 Matte IPS, 1080p, Professional color range" and the original display of the laptop?
