    • Use a 1.5 mm hex screwdriver to remove the two hex screws on either side of the display (four screws total).

    • If you don't have a 1.5 mm hex driver, you can probably get these screws out with a T6 Torx screwdriver. However, if you use a T6 Torx driver you'll be more likely to strip the screws.

    • Disconnect the backlight cable from the inverter.

    • It is helpful to use a spudger to push the backlight connector away from its socket while you lightly pull its cables away from the inverter.

  17. NBeDQGpCsAicNauI

    • Lift the LCD out of the display assembly.

    • It may be helpful to press the latch release button and open your display slightly to push the LCD out of the display assembly.

  18. IwpmHcAHgfYMRHjK

    • Remove the two pieces of yellow tape covering the inverter/AirPort cables.

  19. yRYwFQSB6Aky2oVf

    • Disconnect the inverter cable by pulling its connector away from the socket on the inverter board.

    • The inverter board is a very thin and delicate circuit board that is easily broken. Use caution.

    • This connector tends to stick in its socket. It is helpful to push the connector with the tip of a spudger through the two small holes in the top of the socket while pulling the connector away from the socket.

    • Make sure to grasp the inverter cabling by the black tape and not the individual wires. Pulling the wires themselves will surely damage the inverter cable.

    • Slide the spudger to the far left and right edges to separate the inverter board from the adhesive securing it to the front bezel.

    • Remove the inverter board.
