Introduction
Use this guide to replace the complete display assembly as a unit, consisting of the display housing, hinges, WiFi and display cables, LCD, touch screen and front bezel, as well as the interior electronics (microphone, camera and touchscreen controller).
In most cases this would only be done if you've purchased a used display complete and only need to swap out the display without having to open it to get to the LCD or touch screen.
