Very carefully you will need to pry the grey frame off of the lcd. But do this only after you are sure you have removed all of the screws. It is possible that you will have to dissassemble the whole camera in order to access some of the screws on the LCD assembly. Sometimes there are some right in or near the hinge.

The screen looks cracked and multi colored but the actual glass isnt broken or cracked

Your LCD/monitor is cracked from the inside. There are several things that can cause a screen to crack from the inside. The two most common are pressure on the screen or dropping the machine. Sorry, but it is irreparable. You need to buy a replacement.

Hi, I accidentally dropped my notebook, it happens when I was getting ready for a play, then BAM! My notebook dropped. Whenever I try to turn it on, lot's of colors appear on the screen. But, there...

If you can here audio coming from the system then this means that windows is running. This is a definite problem with the LCD of the computer. It is not a problem with the video card or the motherboard. To further prove this connect your laptop to an external monitor and it is sure to work. It is likely that the lcd panel or the lcd cable needs to be replaced. Unfortunately this not something that you can fix yourself. Contact Asus or a local computer shop for assistance.

Black marks on screen i think it needs a degaus but dont know how to do it

LCD monitors do not need degaussing. They operate in a completely way to CRT monitors.
Tiny black marks are most likely dead pixels, if the black marks are large then the LCD screen may be damaged (cracked glass).
This type of damage cannot be repaired simply, the screen needs to be replaced.
I suggest you put your money towards a new LCD monitor.

Notebook with a cracked monitor

Not to sound argumentative, but it's not a useless paperweight yet. You can still connect an external monitor, and toggle over to it.

(Connect a VGA monitor, to the VGA connector on the back of the laptop, turn the VGA monitor on. Hold the Fn key down, tap the key that has the Monitor icon on it)

You can buy a replacement LCD screen online. BE SURE you get the Correct one.
(16:9 ratio. 1920 x 1080 )

To remove the LCD screen:

1.Remove the AC adapter, (Charger), if plugged in.
Remove the Battery. There must be No electrical power source/s!

2.Get the proper tools.
A.I use an X-Acto knife, and Philips head screwdriver.
B.A soft, lint-free cloth to cover the keyboard, and palm rest area. Helps to keep any accidental damage to this/these areas.
C.A multi-compartment container

3.Open the laptop, LCD screen in it's normal user position.

The first thing to remove will be Screw Head Covers.
There are at least 4, if not 6 screws, that hold the Bezel to the Top Cover.
The Bezel is the thumb width frame, that goes around the LCD screen facing you.

Look around the Bezel for the screw covers. They normally will be the same color as the Bezel. Some are hard plastic, some are a rubbery compound.

I use an X-Acto knife, to pop these covers off. Use CAUTION of course, as the knife is very sharp. I have also used a No.2 Jewelers screwdriver, in lieu of the X-Acto knife. Depends on the type of screw cover. (Soft rubbery covers I use the Jewelers screwdriver)

There are usually 4 screws across the top, and 1 in each bottom corner. This varies so look close.
When removing the screw covers be careful. They'll jump right off the table! Put them in the multi-compartment container.

Remove the screws. Put them in the container.
Take your fingers, and work along the inside edge of the Bezel. You are separating the Bezel from the LCD screen, with the inside edge. The Bezel clips into the Top Cover, and will make a Pop, Pop, Pop sound as you go along, and remove it.

After the Bezel has come loose all the way around, you may have to shift it to one side, to clear the cover latch at the top. Lay the Bezel aside.

Looking at the LCD Screen you will see a metal bracket that goes around it, and is screwed to the Top Cover. Remove all the Philips head screws going around the frame.

Carefully lift the LCD screen out of the Top Cover. You of course, are not trying to save the screen, but there are small cables connecting the screen to the body of the laptop.
With the LCD screen up a bit, you can lay it over a little, and have more room to access those connectors.

Designs differ in cable connections. There may only be 1 signal cable, and 1 power cable, and 1 wireless antenna cable, or there may be more.

If you have the new LCD screen, observe the way it's connectors are shaped. Compare them to what you see on the laptop's LCD screen. The connector's are a Male and Female connector. Looking at the new one, you can see where the two connectors come apart. This way you know what to separate.

The connectors are different sizes, so don't worry about marking them. You can of course if you wish.

The metal frame of the old LCD screen needs to come off, so it can be mounted to the new one. There are tiny Philips head screws usually, that are on both sides of the LCD screen. Look close as only certain ones need to come out, to remove the metal frame.

Reverse your steps to install the new LCD screen.

(BE SURE to connect all cables before you reinstall!

There may be an antenna cable that is mounted in the LCD screen area, and comes out of the body of the laptop. This is the Wireless Antenna I referred to above)

LCD screen is cracked. Can it be replaced. I will pay fof it, and try to replace it myself. Thanx

It is often that the LCD Screen can be replaced but if you wanted to change or replace it, therefore you can buy it but it's rare to find some replacement. And then if you further buy a LCD replacement and then the price is the same with the price you buy a new one LCD Monitor, then much better buy a new one.
I tried that here buying LCD to my Computer but the same price to buy a new LCD Monitor.
Hope this tip might help you.
Good luck!
Please rate me.
Thank you.

If it was hit hard enough it damaged the display panel, therefore would not be feasible to replace. They cost as much as a new set.

LCD won't come on.

hi   
If you switch on your screen it just goes dead again. If this is the case then all you have to do is replace your backlights of your lcd. The backlight are florescent tubes Which are gas filled and they have a lifespan of plus/minus two to five years. Once the gas is depleted the backlights try to go on then switches off 
This problem occurs alot on all different lcd screens eg. ibm, gigabye and alot of other name brands and even the cheapies. the backlights come in different lengths so you have to open your screen and remove them carefully so that you dont damage or crack the liquid crystal. i have been repairing lcd screens for a while and this is the problem most of the time.  
You can order the backlights from RS components. They supply and sell backlights if you wish to do it yourself 
Glad to be of any assistance
