Step 31 — Display
Performing the following steps incorrectly can easily damage the display and render it inoperable. The multicolor display data cable is especially fragile.
Position the display at a 45 degree angle and rest the computer on a cloth with the back panel ports facing up. Remove the two T8 Torx screws from each clutch cover.
Step 32
Close the display and pull off both clutch covers. You can use a non-metal flathead screwdriver if the clutch covers do not come off easily.
Step 33
Open the display to a 90 degree angle. Rest the trackpad face down on the work surface and allow the display to hang over the edge. If possible, adjust your chair or work surface height so the display will rest on your legs and the upper case will lie flat on the work surface. If you cannot make this adjustment, you can remove the display with the screen closed. We recommend removing the display with the screen open in order to avoid changing the position of the hinges once the display has been removed.
