To remove the display assembly, see Figures 4-12, 4-16, and 4-17 and follow
these steps:
1. Close the computer and place it upside down.
2. Remove the four 16-mm display screws from the bottom of the computer
(see Figure 4-17). The display screws have a “D” tooled into the base plas-
tic beside them. Once the screws are removed, the display assembly is
very loose (see the figure above).
3. Hold the computer firmly and turn it back over.
4. Remove the top half of the cover over the monitor connector. This connec-
tor is on the back of the computer.
5. Remove the 5-mm screw that was beneath the cover.
6. Unlatch the LCD latch.
7. Slowly open the display assembly so it is at a 90-degree angle to the base.
This action repositions the hinges so you can remove the bezel later.
