Steps

  1. Insert a flat-head screwdriver (maximum width: 4 mm) into the slots on the display bezel near the hinges, and gently apply pressure to release the bezel at both ends, creating a gap.
  2. Insert the flat end of the scribe into the gap created under the display bezel.
    NOTE:Do not use the flat head screwdriver to pry up the rest of the bezel. Instead, use the flat end of a plastic scribe to continue prying along the bezel.
    CAUTION: When inserting the scribe into the bezel, keep it parallel to the display. Pressing it downward can damage the display.
  3. Keeping the scribe parallel to the display, carefully slide it along the bottom edge of the bezel to release the latches on the lower side.
  4. Insert the scribe diagonally into the hinge section to carefully release the adhesive near the portion of the bezel above the hinge.
    CAUTION: Do not lift the scribe vertically as it damages the screen. Slide the scribe horizontally to disengage the adhesive and pry the bezel upwards.
  5. Insert the scribe into the corner of the display bezel near the hinge. Keeping the scribe parallel to the display, carefully slide the scribe along the edges from one corner to the other (right to left or left to right).
  6. Lift the display bezel from the display assembly.
