Step 2

  • Carefully slide your plastic spudger tool into the crack between the outer edge of the bezel and the back of the display assembly.
  • Slide it all the way along all edges, carefully unclipping the bezel from the back assembly.
  • Be very careful and take your time - it’s easy to snap the bezel or to break the clips, making reassembly less secure.
  • Once everything is released you should be able to lift up the bezel and it freely come away.

Step 3

  • Remove the two screws holding the back assembly to the hinge mechanism.
  • Be careful as you’re unscrewing these! Support the display assembly with your other hand.
  • Lay the loose display assembly down and then fold the metal foil tabs up and out of the way.
  • Some models’ screens are held down by adhesive; if this is the case with yours, carefully pry the screen away from the back being careful not to damage any cables.
  • If your display is screwed down, there will be extra screws to remove and it should then come away freely.

Step 4

  • Fold the loose screen down onto the laptop’s keyboard, as if you were closing the laptop, with the rear of the display assembly still open.
  • Carefully remove the connecting ribbon cable as shown in the picture.
  • You may need to remove the sticky adhesive tape which holds the connector in place before you can remove it.
  • When reassembling, replace this with some fresh sticky table to help prevent it coming loose over time.
