Shut down the laptop

To begin shut the laptop down and disconnect the power cord

Separate the bottom plastic strip

Pick off two rubber covers from the bottom using an X-Acto knife. Remove the two Phillips screws
found under the rubber covers. Flip the laptop over and using a plastic pick separate the seem at
the bottom of the display assembly. Please Note: This computer powers on whenever the screen
is lifted off the keyboard.Open the display back up, shut the computer down. Using a plastic pick
separate the bottom plastic cover strip

Remove three Phillips screws

Remove three Phillips screws located under the plastic cover

Disconnect the video cable

Pick off the front display assembly from the back cover and place it on the keyboard. Peel off the
clear plastic tape over the video connector, lift up the connector bracket and using both hands
gently disconnect the video cable

Remove four screws

Using a Phillips screwdriver remove four screws from the metal rail at the top edge of
the display assembly

Separate the webcam assembly

Use a plastic pick to separate the webcam adhesive, then carefully lift off the metal rail, making sure
to separate the webcam cable from its guides. Free up the cable and set the rail aside

Disconnect the digitizer and sensor board

Use a flat metal pick to disconnect the digitizer's cable from the digitizer board. Then separate a cable from
a tiny sensor board next to the digitizer board. You may need to use tweezers to undo the accessory cable
from its guides

Transfer the Wacom digitizer with controller and sensor board

At this point the front display assembly can be separated. Set the main body aside and place
the replacement display assembly above the original. We need to transfer the Wacom
digitizer and the controller, as well as the tiny sensor board from the old display assembly
to the new one. The Wacom digitizer is attached to the back of the LCD using soft adhesive
applied to its perimeter. Use a flat metal pick to gently cut through the adhesive perimeter.
Place spare plastic picks between the separated digitizer and the LCD to prevent it
from sticking back. Continue using the flat metal pick to free up the adhesive perimeter.
Be very careful around the area where the digitizer connects to its controller. Separate the
digitizer board together with the digitizer. Pick off the tiny sensor board from the old assembly

Replace the tiny sensor board

Replace the tiny sensor board onto the new assembly, making sure the boards connector
is facing to the right. Align the Wacom digitizer with the LCD and reattach the controller
board. Use a micro fiber cloth to gently press on the adhesive. Place the new assembly
onto the keyboard and align it with the cabling. Insert the accessory cable in its guides.
Thread the sensor board onto the connector. Reconnect the cable to the digitizer board
using a flat metal pick. Insert the webcam cable into its guides. Make sure the cable is
properly routed to not get pinched by the case on reassembly. Carefully thread the cable
through all its guides. Place the metal rail onto its positioning pins and press down onto the
webcam board to catch its adhesive. Replace the four Phillips screws through the metal rail

Reconnect the video cable

Using both hands carefully reconnect the video connector, close the connectors bracket and secure it with
clear tape. CAUTION! It is very important not to force any of the connectors. As well you must not twist
or slant the connector when plugging it in

Install the display assembly

Do a final check on all cables making sure they are strictly within their guides. Lift the assembly up and
as we can see the screen is working, shut the computer down. Replace the three Phillips screws at the
bottom edge

Replace the bottom plastic cover strip

Replace the bottom plastic cover strip and gently clip it in. Replace two Phillips screws on
each side near the bottom. Replace the two rubber covers over the two Phillips screws.
Reconnect the power cord and start the computer by pressing the power button on the right side. Test
the stylus by dragging a window around the desktop and we're done!
