As seen in the first picture the LCD panel has a steel case that structurally holds it together. In order for this entire project to work the intuos tablet must read through the lcd panel to the pen and the user on the other side. You should now be able to remove all components of the LCD and set aside the back casing. Carefully remove LVDS cable and LED FCC cable from the panel.Īfter the panel is out (and put somewhere safe from harm), the next step is to remove the inverter and lcd controller by removing the screws that are now visible (one is hiding under the hdmi port).
You can unclip the LED underlight.Īfter the bezel is removed the lcd panel is held in with aluminum tape, simply cut it off and remove the panel. The touch controls should be stuck to the bezel with adhesive leave it there for now. When removing the clips on the bottom(where the white LED underlight is) and the side (where the touch controls are) be very careful when removing the bezel as the circuit boards are clipped on and have easily torn FCC traces soldered to them. With the Dell ST2220L, the first step is to remove the front lcd bezel that is held on by clips around the edges as shown in the picture.
