Installing MacBook Core Duo LCD Assembly

Step 1 LCD Assembly



• Remove the small piece of foam tape stuck down above each of the bezel covers.
Step 2



• Use a spudger to slide the left bezel cover towards the LCD panel.
• Do not lift up vertically on the cover! Unlike the large display bezel, this one has horizontal hooks to keep it in place. These will break easily.
• Lift the left bezel cover off the display assembly.
Step 3
• Use a spudger to slide the right bezel cover toward the LCD panel.
• Lift the right bezel cover off the display assembly.
Step 4
• Lift the inverter out of the display slightly and disconnect the backlight cable from its right side.
• Place the inverter back down in its recess.
Step 5
• Remove the single 3.2 mm Phillips screw securing the display data cable to the right clutch hinge.
Step 6
• Move the display data cable out from under the mounting arm of the right clutch hinge.
Step 7
• Remove the twelve 4.2 mm Phillips screws securing the LCD assembly to the rear display bezel.
Step 8
• Lift the LCD assembly out of the rear display bezel, minding any cables that may get caught.
