Step 1 — Rear Bezel
The following procedure allows the changing of the rear display bezel without removing the display assembly from the computer. Do not attempt to rotate the display back farther than the hinges allow or your computer may be damaged.
Open the computer with the display facing you and rotate the display back as far as possible.
Remove the T6 Torx screw from the bottom left corner of the display assembly. The computer casing will not allow the screwdriver to be inserted directly into the screw, so be careful not to strip the screw.
Step 2
Remove the T6 Torx screw from the bottom right corner of the display assembly.
Step 3
Use a spudger to begin separating the two halves of the display assembly. Slide the spudger between the gray plastic strip and the metal front display bezel. Work up and down along the edge to free the three tabs along the left edge.
Freeing these tabs may require some force. Be sure to support the display assembly with your other hand to avoid putting too much strain on the hinges.
