VIZIO TV Screen Replacement

Carefully flip the TV over.

Start by unscrewing the bottom part of the TV.

Unscrew the frame and slowly and carefully remove it. Set it somewhere.

Next, unscrew the nub and slowly and carefully remove it.

Carefully unscrew all of the screws in the back of the TV.

Slowly and carefully lift the back of the TV off and put it aside.

The gray metal piece that is stationed underneath the yellowish device is the first thing that we will start to usncrew.

Slowly lift up that gray panel and put it aside. Let's move on to the speakers.

Remove the speakers.

Next, there is this little chip looking thing at the corner of the TV, take the small screwdriver and put it underneath it and lift it up. Be sure to again be gentle, making sure you don't scratch or chip it.

After you are done lifting it up, pull it towards you and lift it on top of the TV.

Next, we go to the buttons. My thumb is situated on a panel on top of the button, press on it.

With your other hand (keeping the thumb pressed on the panel), slowly and carefully lift the button part up.

Now, we are moving on to taking out this other medal piece (please see the last picture in this step).

There are two metal pieces holding onto the bottom of the TV. Really the bottom part of the TV is what's keeping you away from the glass part.

Unscrew both metal parts, slowly lifting them up and putting them aside, if you think labeling will help, please do so. These steps are easy enough to know and understand, so labeling is not really needed.

There is this little sticker plastic thing that is located at the bottom. We are going to now use our pocket knife, the back part of it because we do not want to cut or rip that plastic section.

The tip of the knife should be used to help peel it and then the back of it should help lift it up.

It's okay, this is super sticky, so it will re-stick when you put it back together. Once done, go ahead and tuck it up (see last photo in this step) and move on to the next step.

Here is where it gets a bit complicated. There is a lot of tiny little screws around the edge of the TV. Unscrew them going around and putting them aside.

Make sure to get every little screw, because when we flip the TV (super heavy!) we are going to remove the frame and if one screw is in there, it will be super difficult to remove.

Once you get all of the screws, go back and make sure you didn't leave one so we can do one quick flip and done. :)

Now, again at the bottom, unclip the frame from the metal part. Make sure to do it carefully so that the plastic doesn't break.

Once done, flip the TV. It should look like the next two pictures.

Next, we lift up the frame from in front of the TV (those tiny side screws did the work) and set it aside.

Once done, lift up the glass section (carefully, it is glass) and replace it with a brand new glass screen!
