Technical Installation Note
Replacing the LCD on a Video Assist 3G 7" is a delicate procedure. It requires the removal of the outer casing and the careful disconnection of the display and backlight ribbon cables from the main logic board. Because the internal components are packed tightly to maintain the portable form factor, it is highly recommended that this repair be performed by a technician or a user with significant experience in small electronics repair.
