How do I take the correct photo of my laptop screen using a foot ruler?
To verify your screen properly, we need a full photo of the entire screen with a foot ruler, not just the part number or a close-up of the connector. A complete photo helps us confirm:
- Part Number (PN)
- Connector type
- Connector position
- Width and height
- Mounting layout
- Shape of the connector area
To take the correct photo, follow these steps:
- Lay the screen flat on a table with good lighting.
- Place a clear foot ruler across the bottom edge of the screen (just like the sample images).
- Make sure the photo shows the entire screen from left to right, with the ruler fully visible.
- Include the part number label, the connector, and the connector area shape all in the same picture.
- Take the photo straight from above — avoid angles so the measurements are easy to read.
- If needed, take one close-up photo of the connector with the ruler for exact connector width.
Your photos should look similar to our sample references — showing the whole panel, the full ruler, and the connector area clearly.
This helps us confirm compatibility quickly and prevents delays or sending the wrong screen.
