How to fix Nexus 7 mismatched screen. Tutorial

Nexus 7 loose screen

You may already have a Nexus 7 at home and everything has gone well so far. But we get a lot of information that some Nexus 7 models arrive with the screen out of adjustment. It is likely that when holding it on the left side we will hear a small click and the screen separates a little or sinks, that is, it is a little loose. Do not be scared, it is something that is happening a lot but it has a very simple solution that our colleagues from El Androide Libre have explained to us. This is where the tutorial on How to fix Nexus 7 mismatched screen.

If your screen is loose and you only bought it 15 days ago, go to the store and change your Nexus 7. After 15 days you would have to go through the technical service, something that you can avoid doing the repair yourself.

With a simple guitar pick or credit card and a screwdriver you can fix it. Remember that although it is simple, you do this at your own risk and expense. The steps are the following:

First: You must remove the rear plastic cover. Use a thin, hard plastic tool such as a pick or a credit card to gently pry off the latches on the lid. There is no glue or screws, so a little care won't break it. Start at the top, then the sides and finally disassembling by hand is enough.

Second: Tighten the screws on the left side and the bottom a little. Do not use too much force so that they do not go over the top.

Third: Put the cover back on and check that the screen does not move. If it does, it starts over.

The friends of El Androide Libre leave us a video tutorial where we can see the operation in full and explained, to take away our fear when doing it.

In these operations it is necessary to be calm and in a place where the tablet cannot fall or where if it does, it will not receive a blow.
