The motherboard died on this laptop so I thought, good enough excuse for a teardown?

Yup.

This guide should help you, regardless of whether you need to replace memory or the entire LCD.

Add Note Edit Step 7  ¶ 

  • Pop off the bezel closest to the screen, taking care not to damage the delicate ribbon cables underneath.

    • Unclip the three cables connecting the bezel to the laptop, lift away.

    • If you are struggling to get the bezel disconnected try closing the laptop and flipping it over. I did this and when I opened it again the bezel disconnected by itself.
