Replacing the LCD display on an Insignia device, whether a tablet, TV, or car navigation system, can be a challenging but rewarding DIY project. This guide covers detailed steps, tips, and precautions for replacing LCD displays on various Insignia products, including tablets like the Insignia Flex series, televisions, and car navigation units. The article also includes helpful visuals and video references to assist you throughout the process.
Insignia is a brand known for budget-friendly electronics including tablets, TVs, and car entertainment systems. LCD display issues can range from cracked screens to unresponsive or blank displays.

- Tweezers
- Replacement LCD display compatible with your Insignia model
- Anti-static wrist strap (recommended)
- Soft cloth or mat to work on
- Adhesive strips or tape (if needed for reassembly)
- Power off the device completely.
- Discharge the battery below 25% to reduce risk of fire or explosion, especially for lithium-ion batteries in tablets.
- Work on a clean, static-free surface.
- Insert a plastic opening tool along the seam between the front case and rear panel.
- Carefully pry open the clips securing the rear panel. For example, the Insignia Flex 10.1 tablet has 26 clips that must be pushed toward the center to release[1].
- Take your time; forcing the clips can break them or damage the case.
- Locate the LCD flex cable connecting the screen to the motherboard.
- Use a plastic tool to flip the locking tab on the connector and gently pull the flex cable out[4].
- Be gentle to avoid tearing the ribbon cable.
- After disconnecting cables, carefully lift the old LCD screen from the frame.
- Some models may have adhesive strips holding the screen; use a heat gun or hair dryer on low heat to soften adhesive if necessary.
- Place the new LCD screen into the frame.
- Reconnect the flex cable by sliding it into the connector and locking the tab.
- Ensure all other connectors are properly seated.
- Snap the rear panel back into place, ensuring all clips lock securely.
