Removing and Replacing Parts 4-17
8. Gently lift the display assembly so the hinges are free of the base.
Do not lift the assembly too far up because the LCD FPC cable is still con-
nected to the LVDS board. The FPC bobbin and hinge covers will lift with
the assembly; the connector cover may lift with the assembly.
9. Place the display assembly on a support so that the LCD FPC cable is not
stressed.
10. Remove the connector cover to expose the end of the LCD FPC cable that
connects to the system board.
11. Remove the two 2.5-mm screws securing the LCD FPC cable connector to
the LVDS board and gently lift the connector off of connector C24 on the
LVDS board.
The display assembly is now free from the base. The hinge covers may
remain in place.
12. Remove the ground springs from the holes in the system board rails in the
base of the computer. These fall out easily when the computer is turned
upside down.
