Metal Alignment Pins on the Glass Panel
There are four alignment pins at the top of the glass panel near the camera, one pin at the
bottom near the IR remote sensor, and a pin on the left and right side of the glass. Important:
If the glass is removed from the bezel at an angle, the metal alignment pins may bend, causing
scratches on the inside of the glass and possibly requiring replacement of the glass panel.
