Replace ccfls in Acer X223W

[Pamela]

Has anyone replaced the CCFLs in an Acer X223W?

I have the lower set that is bad, and want to replace the upper and lower at the same time. Just not exactly sure on how to remove them from the panel. I have replaced them in TV and laptops without a problem, just need the info on how to get them out of the panel without damage to it.

The panel is an M220Z1-L03 by Chi Mei

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I usually start by removing any cover that is over the TCon/LVDS Board.I then replace one of the screws back to stop the board flopping around while I carry on.Take off the Surround metal screen,ensure that the CCFL leads are free,I then remove the screw I put back in earlier,drop the screen onto a towel or something similar to protect it.Then I ease out the black plastic surround BUT only enough to be able to remove the Top lamp and replace it, then when I have done that, will then put that half of the Plastic surround back in correctly then turn the thing over and do the bottom lamps.I would then test the lamps before fitting the Screen back in, and if all is well then replace screen,metal surround, cover etc in reverse order...hope that helps.
