An LCD laptop removal can seem daunting and unwieldy, but can be performed with a fair amount of ease. Before performing any type of laptop repair, disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery. Locate the five screws holding the bezel of the screen in place and remove them. Gently place your fingers on the inside of the bezel closest to the screen and work your way around the entire screen loosening the pane with your thumbs. Plastic latches hold the panel in place so be careful not to apply too much pressure to these.

You may need to loosen a few of the plastic latches individually to fully remove the bezel. Place the bezel out of the way to prevent undue damage. Below the screen you will find the inverter; it is a long rectangular piece with wires attached at either end. Remove the wires and replace the inverter if needed. Three screws reside below the screen on the left and right sides, removing them will allow the plastic hinge covers to become free of the screen. You may now carefully lean the screen forward to reveal the video cable plugged into the back of the screen. Remove the tape covering the connection and unplug the cable from the screen.

The screen is still attached to the hinges via screws along either side of the screen remove these now but be sure to steady the screen so it does not fall and break creating a very large mess that is difficult to clean. Replace the screen and repeat these steps in reverse taking care not to force any screws in their respective holes farther than allowed. Even the slightest mistake could damage internal components rendering your hard work useless.
