cloth.

display. If any of these cables are damaged, the entire display module must be
replaced.
Warning: At the left clutch, the wrapped cable connected to the LVDS (low
voltage data signal) connector is extremely delicate. Do not pull or pinch the
LVDS cable. Do not allow the screwdriver to touch the LVDS cable.
Locate the two large silver-colored screws. Gently move aside the LVDS cable so
you can access the screws.
Remove the two silver-colored T8 screws from the left clutch. Notice that the screw
closest to the LVDS cable has a sloped screw head. (Do not remove the smaller
screws.)
Important: When installing the replacement display, make sure the screw closest to
the LVDS cable is the screw with the sloped head.
