Preparation
Save your work and shut the computer down through the operating system, unplug AC power and every external device, and work on a clean, grounded, ESD-protected surface while sorting each screw by its original location. Handle every cable by its connector and put each one back in its own place during reassembly.
Replacement
- Undo the two screws on the right hinge (1) and the two screws on the left hinge. (printed page 31).
- If the bezel or any of the display assembly subcomponents have to be swapped, ease the bezel out of the display enclosure with a plastic tool, working from the top (1) around both sides (2) and along the lower edge (3). (printed page 32).
- Lift the bezel (4) away from the display enclosure. (printed page 32).
- If the raw display panel has to be swapped, take out the four Phillips screws that hold the panel to the display enclosure. (printed page 33).
- Open the display panel (1) at its top edge and swing it forward until the panel lies upside down in front of the display enclosure, peel the tape off the display panel connector (2), unplug the connector from the panel (3), and take the panel out. (printed page 33).
- If the hinge brackets have to be swapped, undo the two screws that fix the outer caps on each side (1) and the three screws that fix the hinge (2). (printed page 33).
- Undo the two screws at each end cap (1), lift the caps on the left and right (2) away, unplug the display cable (3), unplug the antenna cable (4), and take the hinge off. (printed page 34).
- If the camera module has to be swapped, pull the camera (1) away from the display enclosure, where double-sided adhesive holds it, and lift the module (2). (printed page 34).
- Unplug the module cable (3) from the camera module. (printed page 35).
- If the display cable has to be swapped, free it from the routing path (1) that runs along the display enclosure and take it (2) out. (printed page 35).
