Display assembly
This section describes removing the display assembly in its entirety and disassembling all the display
subcomponents.
If you only need to remove the display bezel, webcamera/microphone module, or display panel, you do not
need to remove the entire display assembly from the computer. See Display subcomponents (bezel, webcam,
panel) on page 34 for more information about removing the display subcomponents that do not require that
you remove the entire display assembly from the computer.
Before removing the display assembly, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or in Hibernation, turn
the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system.
2. Disconnect the power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from the computer.
3. Disconnect all external devices from the computer.
4. Remove the battery (see
Battery on page 31), and then remove the following components:
a. Optical drive (see
Optical drive on page 32)
b. Top cover (see
Top cover on page 39)
