To replace the screen in your Sony Vaio A517S notebook, you will require the following steps. I am sure that these steps will help to replace the screen of many other models of Sony Vaio series. The steps are as:

• Before replacement process make sure that your notebook is turned off. And remove the battery.
• With the help of screwdriver, remove the rubber cover from the screws. On each corner of the screen, there are screws, so make sure that you have to remove all the screw rubber. Under the screw rubber there are screws, remove them with the help of screwdriver. Try to remove the screen bezel, don’t apply to much force on the bezel, it is made of thin plastic.
• After removing the bezel, you will need to replace the screen inverter. To replace it, simply unplug the two cables which connected with the screen inverter.
• Then, carefully remove the LCD screen from the cover. Unplug the video cable and the power supply from the screen. And replace the old screen with the new one.
