This is way off.

First of all, unplug the battery as soon as it is possible.

Step 3: Only takes two screws to remove the fan. The far left one you have circled. The other two are unnecessary and are for heat sink. And you didn't circle the 2nd screw for the fan, found at the upper right side of the fan.

Step 4: Removing wifi card is unnecessary

Step 5: There's only 2 screws if you removed the fan screws. And are you taking out the motherboard while it's still hooked to power and all ribbon cables!?!? AGHHHH

Step 6: Yep and they are, still connected. Don't leave your motherboard dangling and putting stress on fragile ribbon cables - ESPECIALLY WHEN it's connected to power still.

Step 7: You got the screws under the edges of the lower bezel but not the ones in the middle. You need to remove those as well. Underneath the middle bezel is where you get access to the adhesive holding the screws in. Removing the adhesive this way makes it easy to remove the LCD and not have to use heat which can damage it.

Oh and you also need to remove the little rubber covers from the inside edges of the hinges so that you can remove the lcd cable and wifi antenna cables
