I power on my Chromebook, it seems fine at the bright white boot screen, but once I get to something dimmer (Discord window, wallpaper, anything dimmer than pure white), I notice a rapid flicker on the screen. The backlight never completely dies out, but the flickering is an eye strain and a huge annoyance. I already tried this guide in an attempt to get at the ribbon cable and nudge it back into place: Lenovo N22 Chromebook Screen Replacement But now…I think I’ve done something horribly wrong. I tried to follow these steps, and made it as far as step 2. I have an N22 Touch rather than just the N22, but I figured that besides the touch screen they would be pretty much the same on the inside. But once I tried to lift up the keyboard, and felt some resistance, and found that in the top-right corner (by the power button), there appeared to be a piece of metal with a screw attached to the underside of the keyboard. When I tried to loosen this screw, it didn’t budge. Possibly stripped? I can’t lift the keyboard at all. Help!
Hi @stevonnie4ever , The hardware maintenance manual for the touchscreen model doesn’t mention any screw attached to the keyboard only the ones holding the upper case assembly to the base and the cables attached from the motherboard to the keyboard and the touchpad. (see p.25) On p.31 is shows how to remove the LCD module and on p.33 how to disassemble the module so that you can check if the video cable connection to the LCD panel is secure. If the panel is faulty the part number for a touch LCD panel is 5D10K85106. Search online using the part number only to find suppliers that suit you best. Have you proved that the problem is with the display/display connection? Try connecting an external monitor to the laptop and check its display.
I have had screws that felt like they were glued in. It took a lot of pressure and rotation force to break them loose.
