3. Remove the LVDS board.
4. Remove the modem card, if present.
5. Remove (and save for installation) any Kapton tape securing the modem
cable to the video board and lift the cable out of the way.
6. Remove the two 4-mm jack screws on either side of the display connector
that hold the video board to the I/O bracket.
7. Disconnect the touch-pad FPC cable from the side-lift ZIF connector J4 on
the video board.
8. Remove the 14-mm screw holding the system-board retaining clip.
Remove both the screw and retaining clip.
9. Remove the video board from connectors JP2 and JP3/JP4 on the system
board. Lift the end toward the touch pad up, then lift up and pull back the
other end to free it from the I/O bracket.
When installing the board, put pressure only on the areas where the connec-
tors on the video board and on the system board fit together. Pressing on other
areas may flex the board and break connections.
