How to replace the touchscreen of the Opel Astra K

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra K - Years 2015-2022
Part: Onboard computer

As we can see in the video, the flickering of the screen is a well-known and very common issue on this version of the Opel Astra K, so the most effective solution is to replace the screen. We can find the screen at a great price on AliExpress with the code 1005007935101577 for 74.39 euros, with free delivery in approximately 10 days. Before starting, always disconnect the car battery to avoid short circuits, then we need to remove the plastic frame surrounding the instrument panel and the screen - they can be very tight if they have never been removed before. Using a 7mm screwdriver, remove all visible screws, and then disconnect the rear electrical connectors. Now we need to separate the touchscreen glass, which is glued to the LCD display: use a heat gun to soften the underlying glue, allowing you to lift the screen; be very careful not to break anything. Remove any traces of glue from the display surface and the frame, then apply a moderate amount of gel glue along the edge of the frame. Position the new touchscreen accurately, pressing evenly to make it adhere. Reassemble the instrument panel in its place, screwing in the 7mm screws, reconnect the connectors, reposition the outer frame, making sure all the clips snap into place. It is a job that requires patience and delicacy.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
