Remove the bezel

Now we can remove the bezel. Start from the left side. Gently pulling the inner edge
of the bezel away from the glass. Once the edge is unsnapped go around the
perimeter unsnapping the tabs at the top, right side and the bottom. Bottom edge
is glued to the LCD. Once the bottom edge is separated, flip the laptop over and
using a plastic pick unsnap the hinge cover from the back cover. Open the laptop
fully and carefully remove the bezel

Release the LCD panel

The LCD is held to the back cover with two strips of adhesive on the right and the
left edges. Use a heat-gun or a hairdryer to warm up the back cover to help separate
the adhesive. Insert a plastic pick on the right edge and continue warming the back
cover. Insert the pick on the left edge and warm up the back cover. Continue advancing
the plastic pick behind the LCD to the bottom edge as adhesive separates. Maintain
temperature of the back cover, it must be hot to the touch but not burning. Use a second
plastic pick to continue separating the adhesive behind the LCD. Once the LCD is free
place it on the keyboard and remove all adhesive

Disconnect the video cable

Gently peel off the tape securing the video connector. Open the connector&amp;amp;rsquo;s bracket.
Using both hands disconnect the video cable. Discard the old panel

Apply adhesive strips

At this point the new LCD can be installed. Wipe the inside of the back cover with
rubbing alcohol. Install two strips of double sided adhesive on two edges

Connect the new screen

Take the new LCD screen and place it on the keyboard. Using both hands reconnect
the video cable. Close the connector&rsquo;s bracket. Secure it with tape. CAUTION! It is
very important not to force any of the connectors. You must not twist or slant the
connector when plugging it in

Install the new screen

Make sure that the video cable stays in the correct position and lift the screen up
aligning it with the bottom edge. Apply slight pressure on the edges of the LCD to catch
the adhesive
