    • Remove the two screws which are located at the bottom corners of the screen.

    • The screws are underneath little covers which can be removed with a craft knife.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
