LVDS Board Removal: Dell™ Inspiron™ 3500 Portable Computer

You can remove the LVDS board without removing the palmrest. To remove the LVDS board, see the exploded view of the

base assembly

and perform the following

steps:

1. Remove the

display assembly

2. Remove the

keyboard

3. Carefully lift the LVDS board off of connectors J2 and J3 on the video board.

The board is surrounded by an EMI fence.

When installing the LVDS board, put pressure only on the areas where the connectors on the LVDS board and on the video board fit together. Pressing on other areas
may flex the board and break connections.

NOTE: For grounding purposes, an EMI tape may run from the LVDS board to the I/O bracket. Note the placement of the tape and, during
installation, replace it in the same position.

NOTE: The LVDS board is unique for each type of LCD panel. During installation, make sure that the LVDS board is the correct one for the panel
and that any EMI tape attached to the board is replaced in its original position.
