That being said, I was able to change my screen in about 20 mins with nothing more than a small philips and flat tip screwdriver.

First, gently remove the laptop screen bezel. This can be done without any tools. Just carefully make your way around the screen separating it.

These screws are tricky to get to due to the angle the screw driver is at.

With the bezel removed, you will find screws in each top corner and 3 screws in each bottom corner to remove backing plate.

VERY carefully disconnect web cam ribbon cable. The connector pulls straight down. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the laptop closed, carefully pull the silver ribbon cable away from the old screen. It is fastened by sticky glue. 

Peal back connector securing tape and carefully disconnect ribbon cable for old LCD screen.

Remove 4 (ea) screws securing LCD screen to screen carrier. NOTE: These screws are shorter than the previously removed hardware.

Fold back cable out of the way. 

Now the screen can be easily removed. Just install your new screen and installation is in reverse order.
