noelmm Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 We've had around 7 or 8 out of 45 where the screen has failed, always in the top left hand corner. The devices don't look damaged so we logged a warranty claim as we stated we believe the design of the device isn't sturdy enough or there must be a fault with the screens used and the supplier has agreed to swap them out. I've also found a local repair shop who can change the screen for £50 (supplied and fitted) which is cheaper than I can get the screen for so it may be worth checking with local repair shops to see what they charge. 1
James-kennedy1997 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 we have one with a broken screen how ever it is a 40pin screen not the 30pin screen dose any one know what screen fits it as i have so far been unable to find one
TLARWise Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Accupart is listing the same model as the ebay listing as in stock - https://www.accupart.co.uk/products/chi-mei-n116bge-ea2-11-6-laptop-screen?_pos=1&_sid=e176418bf&_ss=r
James-kennedy1997 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I have found that the screens model number is very helpfully put in the screens PCB if you take off the black protective tape
mccltd Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Has anybody found a screen for the 40Pin model NT116WHM-A22. I believe its touchscreen but if theres a non 40pin touchscreen out there thats compatable that will do.
TLARWise Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 I don't know what difference the last three digits make to compatibility but Accupart have an NT116WHM-N10 which specifies 40 pin in the description. You could try contacting them to see if they can confirm. 1

TronXP Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 No disrespect to anyone but the only screen I would trust are the ones from PSA that Danny can get, I've never heard of Innolux We have been using Innolux for all of our replacement Lenovo Chromebook screens, never had any issues with them. Pretty sure they provide OEM for Lenovo also.

newtechman Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 So we have had about 9 Faulty so far (powers up - just black screen ) - council chaps replaced a batch of 4 with the E10 Model (more sturdy!) and gave NO REASON WHY???. Anyway now got in touch direct to get the other 4 swapped - sometimes discharge does the trick.. but staff and pretty pissed when they get nowhere!. 1 is a damaged screen appreciated the Ebay info above
Fazza Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I've not got a 'supply' of working screens that I can use to replace the ones where the backlight has failed - they're from the ones that the keyboards and USB ports have stopped working on!!! #SparesAndRepairs
newtechman Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Interesting the 40-pin model is actually a touchscreen from checking up specs.. maybe that might be causing the backlight issue since there is no touch on these??, so XMA (Notts) basically bring them back in, swap with E10 model and send these back to mfg to get sorted - - - Updated - - - Fazza, they should still be in warranty right?

Tried and it's like pulling teeth and just wastes our time trying to get through to them. Complete an utter waste of tax-payers money as the support is as rubbish as the laptop quality in our experience. 1
newtechman Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I know what you mean but i'm dragging on sending first batch down lets see... ok so you got the 30 pin or 40 pin? and I worried you saying USB/Touchpad not working???? I've just got another school getting 10 from DfE next week - Yikes
Pete8623 Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 I have one of the 40pin screens to repair with no side bracket just taped to the back cover do they use the same motherboards as I have another 1e with a good 30pin screen if the motherboards are the same the cable must just have extra unused pins for the touch so I should be able to swap the cables with the screen if the motherboards are the same. looking at this 40pin screen the touch isn't used it doesn't respond which makes me think the 40pin cable is only used because they had a supply of that screen
newtechman Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 That's right it is no touch with a touchscreen!. The problem is the touch 40-pin with be 2 connectors on the motherboard - I am not sure if they are left the USB converter Touch side disconnected. If they have, then you are in luck since its a 30pin plus touch, IF they have not then not much you can do but replace like for like. At present the failure rate is the worst i've come across so you might as well 'experiment'. All the best
Pete8623 Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 Thanks ive just checked the 40pin model and the mainboard just has 1 screen connector looks to be 35 pins
