Good people... help !!!
I have an Asus l3800c laptop,
the hinges are hard and the screen flickers when I move it.
I want to open it and check the connections and maybe replace the hinges.
Do you know how to open the top buttons plate (next to the screen) ???
Thanks a whole lot in advance .

Hi Thumpit!

Welcome to TechIMO!

I havent been able to find any diagrams of your laptop hopefully someone else will have the info, but I urge you to take it to a professional shop to have this work done. While you may be able to fix it notebooks are notoriously hard to fix.

Thanks Vern,

I am very confident in fixing it as I have done alot of similar work.
I know every model has a place were you can start unclipping it from and I would be really happy if someone who knows this model can help!!!
I dont want to force it open,

thanks again
Galore.

If you van find the rioght LCD panel, it should be a cinch - the plug to the main part of the lappy should be just below the hinge!

I'm sure once opened it shouldn't be dificult to fix.
my screen flickers sometimes and if I move the screen a tad it stops therefor I'm assuming it's just the connections... however I need to know how to open it safely!!!
If you know please help... I can't find any info anywhere.
thanks again

Galore.

THought I should forward this: thanks be to lappie
I know how to open the top button plate.
Look at the the top button plate next to the screen.
On the left side is the LED for the volume mute.
When you look a little to the right (about 4 centimeters), there is a little hole in the top plate. You have to stick
a tiny screwdriver or paperclip or something in there and push down. At the same time you have to slide the top plate to the left.

At first it wouldn`t move, so I used just a little screwdriver on the right side of the plate to help it move.
Don`t force anything! If all goes well, the plate should slide gently off to the left.

Now you can reach the screws off the screen and the connector of the screen on the videocard.
