This procedure assumes that you have removed the front bezel. Follow these
steps to remove the 14.1-inch LCD panel (see Figure 4-28):
1. Remove the eight 6-mm screws that secure the left and right LCD brackets
to the front plastic cover.
2. Detach the CCFL cable from connector CN2 on the right side of inverter
board.
3. Carefully remove the grounding tape between the inverter board and LCD
panel.
4. Remove the 3-mm screw securing the inverter board, and unsnap the
inverter board from the back cover.
5. Lift the LCD panel, LCD brackets, and inverter board as one unit out of the
back cover.
Rotate upward from the bottom of the panel because the top slides
nderneath the plastic hooks.
