Repair manual

The official repair manual for this laptop stated that the display must be removed before the palmrest
can be taken off. But, as you can see, for anyone who is mechanically inclined enough to be able to
cross a country road, this is not actually necessary. (Although this procedure does require the removal
of the screen, which is next.)
The first thing that needs to be done when removing the screen is to disconnect this ribbon cable from
its connector on the motherboard by pulling it upwards. This is the only electronic connection that the
screen has with the rest of the notebook.
To release the screen from the main assembly, the 3 screws shown here by red arrows, and also by a
circle containing the letter 'D' next to each screw.
Make sure you keep track of all screws, put them in something, and keep track of which ones go
where.
