How To Disassemble the LCD Display in a 17 Inch Powerbook

Male Speaker: LCD replacement. To begin, grab your Philip head screwdriver and remove the two Philip head screws from the base of the LCD. Once those two screws removed, get your small flat head and you putting off. Join the short into the LCD. Prying open very little. Notice their clips, rolling along side of the LCD. These will have to be individually snapped with a small flat head screwdriver from the basal. Take extra care when snapping these from the basal as you can very easily damage your back case. Once the few clips are snapped, gently pry open more and more with your putting off until you get the entire side unclipped. Once you finished one side of the LCD, do the same for the other.

You want to take extra care in making sure that the one side that's already become unclipped is not snapped back together. Once you have removed the back case, grab your flat head screwdriver and remove all the tape from the back of the LCD. Remove the tape from the slip magnet. Once that removed, just pry of the slip magnet with your flat head screwdriver. Now remove the tape from the video cable and remove the video cable from the LCD. Now get your Philip head screwdriver and remove the four Philip head screws from either side of the LCD.

Now remove the four Philip head screws from the top of the LCD. And now the last four screws from the LCD. Once that is complete, now remove the invertor cable from the invertor board. Now grab your pudding knife and gently insert it between the LCD and basal. Gently lifting up on the LCD as you move along with the base of basal. Take extra care while doing this, not to bend the basal. Now, take you inverted cable, and round it through the small hole in the basal. Now lift up and out to remove the LCD from the basal.
