Gently close the laptop. Use guitar picks or something to prop the front of the screen so the two latches don't engage.

The hinges are stiff enough to crack the plastic! You may need to push on and support the rear of the laptop while closing it to prevent the hinges from cracking the rear plastics.

Using your fingernail or a spudger, remove the two screw covers from the top.

Remove the four 3mm screws on the rear surface of the laptop securing the LCD hinge.

Remove the two 5mm screws holding the top of the hinge to the base of the laptop.

When reassembling the laptop, put the longer screws in before the shorter screws.
