Replace screen on GX740....

Hope someone can point me in right direction....

The retention clip which attaches itself to the base unit from the screen, black plastic, has broke on one side, and is now causing issues on closing the lid, The plastic bezeling is coming off etc...

Therefore I am in need of a replacement screen

Have already found this excellent guide witihin these forums http://forum.notebookreview.com/msi/455694-msi-laptop-lcd-screen-replacement-upgrade.html

However, I believe that I am able to upgrade the screen to a better resolution than the current stock? I believe a Dell screen can be substituted instead ?

If so can someone point me in the direction of a supplier (EU) to obtain this replacement screen ?





Many thanks

 

majster_msi may be able to help you with any spare parts. You won't be able to send them a PM though until you've reached the minimum recorded posts prerequisite.

 

ah ok,

many thanks

 

You should be able to install any screen with 1xCCFL backlight. I upgraded my GX740 screen to a Samsung 1920x1200 1xCCFL screen from a Dell Precision M6300.

 

As you can see the left hand side catch is broken, which in turn has damaged the bezel around outside....

So Im also looking not only a new screen and a new bezel :/

 

a bezel or possibly the screen back cover that holds the screw is broken too.

 

Are these parts hard to obtain ??

At present the opening and shutting the case is a complex maneuver trying to open it without damaging it further ....


Thanks

 

Ask me using PM I have parts you need on stock .

 

you have PM Majster, thanks.


I have attached a few more photos

 

Hello Master, i have the exact same problem than seamn, my black/red plastic cover of the screen of my GX740 is broke, and im damaging it and the screen itself more every time i opening or closing it. You said you have replacement for this plastic, you still have them in stock? where i can find it?

Thanks for all from spain ;

 

The hinges are too tight. You are going to need replacement for those too (or loosen them a bit somehow) as you will break any other lid you put in there.

 

I actually have a very similar problem as well! Mine's just from opening and closing the laptop as often as I do. After having it about 2.5 years, the left side around the hinge started clicking a bit and needing a slight amount of extra force to open, then one day the bezel just cracked! Haven't closed the laptop in probably 5 months now. Been looking for parts everywhere! Hope you get it figured out!

 

Hey Majster, still happen to have some bezels on stock ? Magnets broke mine aswell, I hear this is a common flaw poor build quality if u ask me for such an expensive piece of hardware.
