Introduction

Another name for the display is the screen. You would want to replace your display if it cracks or glitches in a way that prevents you from carrying out your usual tasks. Replacing a worn out or malfunctioning display would help you use your laptop better, since it enables you to view the tasks you perform.

Lenovo offers four types of displays for its ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen and this replacement guide applies to all four. The four displays include: the 14 inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS anti-glare 300 nits, 14 inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS anti-glare multi-touch, 300 nits, 14 inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS anti-glare 300 nits, and 14 inch HDR WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS glossy with Dolby Vision 500 nits. The display resolutions are found in the parenthesis.

If you follow the guide closely, you should be able to replace your display without any complications. Be sure to power off your laptop prior to beginning your repair and unplug it from the power source.

Step 2

Use a Jimmy to lift the cover directly up off of the locating pins.
