This is a terrific guide. Thank you very much for providing it.

Some of the screws may be different sizes in different 'books. Keeping them separated, or measuring as you remove them, helps. Also, a few of the rubber spacers, etc are not the same in mine as in the photos, and some connectors also differ. I found it helpful to take notes at each Step when they differed from the picture. A guitar pick helps when trying to get the top case free.

loner on the left on mine

#

all were 9 mm on mine

#

no spacer on mine

#

When re-installing, see the photo in Step 14 regarding where the cables go

#

temporarily removing the cable clamp just to the screen side above it also helps in moving the cabling out of the way at this step

#

if you pull the connector apart, like I did (sigh), the red wire goes towards the screen.

#

mine are both at the right-sided location

#

mine has a black cover over the silver, and no clip

#

the back center tends to catch on the frame; takes some wiggling
