There are a few steps here that arecritical that they are done correctly or the LCD screen wont fit back into thecase chassis
step 1
You must remove the 3 little rubber screw covers located on the top edgeof the laptop screen at the right, center & left side using the mini flat head screwdriver. Then remove the 3 screws located under the rubber covers.







step 2
Then you must remove the outer screen bezel, which unsnaps. Be verycareful not to force the plastic for it may crack! I would start from theleft hinge corner which is probably open, working clockwise with the littleflat head screwdriver prying it apart every inch or so. You may also haveto remove the bottom right andl eft rubber screw covers and remove those screws as well to free the bezel.
step 3
Now that the LCD is fully exposed you can see how destroyed the hingeand assembly points are damaged DUE TO POOR CONSTRUCTION BY THE MANUFACTURER'S DESIGN!
step 4
Then you must unscrew the 2 very small screws that are on the left hingeconnecting to the LCD screen. Now take notice how much space is betweenthe bottom of the LCD screen and the left hinge assembly. For this is oneof the things that can make this repair render your efforts useless whenyou try to reassemble! There is only about 1/16" clearance.
