Replacing an Inspiron 1525 LCD video

Simple step by step guide to replacing the LCD on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop.

Check out the source code that went into making this video! It uses AviSynth scripting to speed up small sections.
video = DirectShowSource("MVI_0480.AVI")

fps = 20
speedfactor = 4

return video.Trim(0,2300) ++ \
video.Trim(2300,3250).AssumeFPS(fps*speedfactor).ChangeFPS(fps) ++ \
video.Trim(3251,5999) ++ \
video.Trim(6000, 6300).AssumeFPS(fps*speedfactor).ChangeFPS(fps) ++ \
video.Trim(6301,9599) ++ \
video.Trim(9600, 11300).AssumeFPS(fps*speedfactor).ChangeFPS(fps) ++ \
video.Trim(11301,0)

  1. Thank you very much, my screen went black today and I was like WTH do I do now.. Dell wanted $500.00 for a 3 year warrenty to fit it… I do have one question, when I removed the lower bezel above the key board. There is a plug on the top left hand corner that is not pluged into anything, what is it for???

    Once again, thank you for putting this video up and sharing…

  2. Thanks so mate, the video was really helpful. But I’d like to know something more, my laptop fell from a 4th floor and everything is all right except the cd reader and the screen obviously as you can see on my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iivtmWL7x2Y
    The question is: how can I get the full laptop cover fixed (not just the one on the screen).
    Thanks.

  3. What was wrong with your LCD? Just curious, I have a customer’s Inspiron 1525 and it has many, many green pixels from bootup to running OS. Ouput to an external monitor is good so I believe the LCD needs replaced. Just wanted some input prior to speaking with the customer to see what they want to do, I believe I can fix it really cheap for them and save them some money.

    Thanks
