    • Use a plastic spudger to carefully pry the front bezel off.

    • Now remove the top cover by unscrewing the two Phillips #0 screws found at the bottom of the panel.

    • You are removing the cover behind the LCD, not the LCD screen. The two screws are the only thing holding it so carefully support it so it does not pull on and damage any cables.

    • Do not touch this area,it destroys the backlight!
