8.Open the computer so that the display rests in your lap and is protected by a soft cloth.

9.Warning: Be especially careful when working near cables that attach to the 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.
