This procedure assumes that you have removed the front bezel. Follow these steps to remove the 13.3-inch LCD panel (see Figure 4-26):

1.Remove the eight 6-mm screws that secure the left and right LCD brackets to the front plastic cover.

2.Detach the LCD wire harness from connector CN2 on the right side of inverter board.

3.If present, carefully remove the grounding tape between the inverter board and LCD panel.

4.Loosen the 3-mm screw securing the inverter board.

5.Lift the LCD panel, LCD brackets, and carrier tray, as a unit, out of the back cover.

Rotate upward from the bottom of the panel because the top slides under- neath the plastic hooks.

6.Remove the hinges, which were previously held in place by pressure and screws.
