How to remove and replace LCD screen in a Toshiba Satellite M500/M500D, Satellite M505 and Satellite M505D laptops.
In this guide I'm removing and replacing the LCD screen in a Toshiba Satellite M505 laptop. The guide should work for Satellite M500/M500D and Satellite M505D series laptops.
Warning! This is not the proper way to remove and replace the LCD screen. Ideally you should disassemble the whole laptop, remove the display panel and only after that take it apart and remove the LCD screen.
I will remove the LCD screen without separating the display panel from the laptop base. This might cause damage to your laptop. Be very careful if you decide to follow my guide and proceed on your own risk.

STEP 1
Turn off the laptop and remove the battery.
There are four screw covers on the LCD screen bezel.
Remove all four covers and screws found under those covers.

|
 |
STEP 2
You can remove the screw cover with a sharp object.
One side of the screw cover is sticky. Glue all covers somewhere on the screen bezel so they don't get lost.

STEP 3
Start separating the screen bezel from the display cover on the top.
Work slowly, try not to break to many latches. :)
A guitar pick or another piece of soft plastic could help a lot.

STEP 4
Continue separating the screen bezel.

STEP 5
Remove two screws securing the mounting bracket on the top of the LCD screen.

STEP 6
Remove three screws on the right side of the screen.
You'll have limited access to one of the screws.
