STEP 1

Make sure the laptop is turned off.

Unlock and remove the battery.

STEP 2

If you look at the upper side of the screen bezel you'll find four rubber seals.

STEP 3

Remove all four seals with a sharp object. You can glue them somewhere on the screen bezel so they don't get lost.

Remove four screws located under the seals.

STEP 4

Remove the silver hinge cover from the left hinge.

Remove one screw located under the cover.

STEP 5

Remove one more cover from the right hinge.

Remove one screw located under the cover.

STEP 6

Now you'll have to start separating the screen bezel from the display assembly.

I'm using the guitar pick for that. You can use a piece of plastic.

Insert the guitar pick between the bezel and screen and wiggle it until the bezel separates. Continue removing the bezel with your fingers.

STEP 7

Continue removing the screen bezel on the display sides and after that move to the lower part.

Be careful because the bezel is very fragile.

STEP 8

Remove the screen bezel.

STEP 9

Separate the LCD screen from the display back cover and place it on the keyboard/palmrest assembly.

STEP 10

On the back side of the screen you'll find the video cable connected to the lower part of the screen.

STEP 11

Unglue the sticky tape securing the connection.

Unplug the video cable from the screen.

STEP 12

Now the damaged/failed LCD screen is ready for the replacement.

Replace the screen and assemble the laptop following all disassembly steps in the reverse direction.

In the next guide I explain how to take apart the case.
