Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 12 Steps
Alright, let’s tackle that LCD screen! Start by giving your battery a little love with the battery replacement guide. Next, gently disconnect the LCD connector from the motherboard – like a smooth dance move! Now, unscrew those hinges and carefully pull the screen away from the device. Time to get that screen open! Remove the vent, bezel, and rubber o-ring, which might feel like peeling off layers of a fun surprise. Finally, disconnect three cables and unscrew the screen to wrap up this mission. And remember, if you need help, you can always schedule a repair!
Step 1
– Grab your trusty T4 Torx screwdriver and remove the ten screws securing the bottom cover. Once that’s done, slide the cover straight back to pop it off.
– Heads up—there are two screw sizes here: eight of them are 3mm, and the other two are 5mm. Those 5mm screws? They always belong in the two center holes along the back edge. Keep track of ’em!

If those hinges are being stubborn, use the keyboard as your secret weapon—just slide them out with a little leverage.
– Let’s get started! To begin, use a trusty Phillis #1 screwdriver to remove the four 3 mm screws at the screen hinges. This will allow you to carefully pull the screen off the device. Take your time and make sure all screws are removed before proceeding.
Step 7
