    • Insert the flat end of a spudger in the gap between the laptop and the upper case assembly, near the display.

    • If there's not a big enough gap, repeat the previous step until you have space to insert the spudger.

    • When all the clips securing the upper case assembly have been released, lift the assembly slightly and slide it down, away from the display, about an inch.

    • Do not attempt to remove the assembly yet. It is still attached to the laptop by four cables.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to flip up the small locking flap of the keyboard backlight cable ZIF connector.

    • Be sure to pry up on the hinged flap, not the connector socket.

    • Gently pull the cable out of its socket.

    • Repeat the previous step for the keyboard, trackpad buttons, and trackpad cables held in place by ZIF connectors.

    Gently pry up onwards each of the white plastic connector just above the ribbon cable (or near the gray rib on the wider ribbon cable).

    • Pull the battery cable away from the connector in the same direction as the individual wires are running to disconnect the battery.

    • Pull evenly on the full width of the cable so that no individual wires are overly strained.

    • Grab the black tape attached to the display cable and pull straight up to disconnect the display cable.

    Before trying to remove the display connector, gently lift tape holding speaker cable and temporarily push cable aside to allow more access to the tape holding the display cable. Then proceed to lift the display cable.

    • Slide the point of a spudger under the black antenna cable until it's snug against the connector, and pry straight up from the board to disconnect the antenna cable.

    • Follow the same procedure to disconnect the white antenna cable.

    • To reinstall these antenna cables, hold the connectors in place and gently press them straight down. The connectors “snap” into their sockets much like the metal snaps on a jacket.

    • Make sure to plug each cable into the correct socket during reassembly. The white cable should plug into the upper socket, while the black cable plugs into the lower.

    • Lift the monitor straight up and remove it.

    Please add the step to unplug both wifi antenna cables and the display connector before removing the monitor. Both just pop up.

    Hi this comment is correct. This guide completely skips the important step of removing and replacing the wifi cables. Without this step the computer is unable to retain its wifi functions

    How to replace the lcd?

    Dima Samovol - Reply

    I have to agree with Sam Torres on this. I reached the same spot where the screen was off, but then which wire goes to which connector. The picture is too fuzzy to be completely clear. It looks like the one further to the back (lcd screen) might be the white one and the one closer to the front of the laptop (touchpad) might be teh black one but the only way to tell is to assemble everything and then get the bad or good news.

You have left out TWO very important steps.  A) tools needed: a - fine tweezer and b - magnifier glass [ and a lot of patience }.

With the open computer facing you. On the left side two gold electrode wires connect to the motherboard, note the wire placement of the two.

On the right side there is a ribbon connector on the right side. NOTE, when the monitor is lifted out, these will COME OFF. If you are a notice, you will be lost. My guess the new monitor will have these connector.  To rebuild: place the set screws for the monitor and then the left and right rear brackets. Go back to front view and insert the back ribbon connector to the motherboard on the right backside. Take a break. Use the magnifier glass and tweezer and attempt to align the SMALL ELECTRODE heads. When aligned they can be pressed on, a light snap will be heard. Please be carefull. This step took me 1 hour. After these steps, continue re-assembly.

Regard,

Would the display connector be the same for the touchscreen model? Or is there an additional cable/different connector?
