How to replace a broken or cracked screen display unit on a Samsung Chromebook 303C12-A01. The process is pretty simple, but as you’ll see in the video, there are things that can go wrong – but even so, you can probably get it working OK in the end, as I did with this one. I bought the cheapest possible replacement screen on e-Bay – maybe if I had gone for a slightly more expensive one the engineering would have been a bit more accurate! Still, it all worked finally.
Buying the screen: I got mine from Ebay. Here are a couple of links. Let me know if they break as I expect I’ll need to update them from time-to-time!

ABOUT ALPHATUCANA
This channel is about ‘waking up’ from our matrix-induced slumber, and about leaving the World a better place than we found it. For most of us, our powers and motivation are strictly limited. We are fundamentally alone in a vast and mysterious Universe, but In the struggle to survive, to ‘succeed’, or to just get by, we sometimes forget the bigger picture, and we sometimes forget to just relax for a while and remember what an amazing World this is. There is plenty to look at: science, Nature, society… And there are plenty of games to help us get away from it all… So on this channel, I vlog about science, Nature, enlightenment, current affairs and much else besides, I upload sightseeing videos showing London, England, or my holidays elsewhere, and I upload gameplay videos. So why not join in for a while and see what you think?
POSTING SCHEDULE
This depends in part on whether I have had time to record videos in between going to work and living the rest of my life! Usually it runs like this:
– Sat or Sun: a vlog or sightseeing video at midday (UK time).
– Gameplay videos: pretty random – typically at midday on weekdays, but not all the time.
– If I have something extra to post it usually appears at some random time 🙂 I may livestream occasionally too.

Is it a 30 pin lcd connector or the 40 pin ones?
Thanks
Was really helpful I was able to change a chromebook screen in 15 minutes even though I was a beginner
Can I send you a picture of what my chromebook looks like? Someone is blocking the bottom part and I can’t put it back on
Worked perfect, cheers 👌
I normally don't comment but when I do it means your video was spot on! Straight to the point and very helpful. 2 kids broke the screen. Let's see how this new one holds up.
so after you replace the screen and start the computer, everything will be back to normal ? everything that was previously on there will still be on there ?
Who else broke their crome book while in school
We got this for the nephews to start virtual school due to the pandemic JustU.Faith/samsungCbook and it’s exactly what we needed. Mind you my nephews are 7 and 9, and are only using it for school related work plus zoom messaging. Easy to learn, simple to set up. Over all good purchase at a great price.
Please someone reply. I accidentaly turned the scree on during the process. What does that do? And does it harm the screen.? I dont care about the machine
Where can I purchase this screen? Mine has like little yellow greenish speckles
ok
My screen flickers or turns black unless I position it all the way to the back, I think it is the cable, is there a replacement for that as well?
Any suggustions if you do all this and the new screen just stays white with a little logo in thr top right corner and reset doesnt work. Ive replaced it before this time it is not loading
I just bought this model. I needed a second rig and a Chromebook looked like a good choice. The screen was broken when I got it, so thanks so much for the video! Really helped me out. All in all I spent 73$ for it!
Thank you, I'm gonna try and repair it myself. my daughter said Mom don't throw your laptop away google for screen replacement. Your video was very helpful.
Thank you for this helpful video. You was a bit hard to hear though. But all is good you helped me save a lot of money.
That last screw is being a real blighter!!! It's always the last one that's trouble!! Turns an otherwise simple task into one that would make a minister curse!!!
Mumble much?? You can buy a refurb machine cheaper than a new screen//
Thank you I hope you are doing well
