Removal

  1. Use the 10–34 Ncm adjustable torque driver and Torx Plus 3IP bit to remove the four 3IP screws (923-05251) from the two spring tensioners on the internal frame.

    • Note: The spring tensioners and TCON board are part of the display.

  2. Open the computer and place it facedown on a clean surface with the display hanging down over the edge of the table.

  3. Use the 0.3–1.2 Nm adjustable torque driver and T8 bit to remove the six T8 screws (923-05266) from the display hinges.

  4. Pull the display toward you about 15 degrees (1). Lift the display up and ensure that the hinges clear the edge of the top case (2).

Reassembly

Important

Ensure that you remove all protective liners and tape from a replacement display.

  1. Place the display on the top case.

    • Note: The display includes the TCON board and the spring tensioners.

  2. Ensure that the TCON board and spring tensioners are inside the top case.

  3. Set the 0.3–1.2 Nm adjustable torque driver to 0.6 Nm.

  4. Use the 0.3–1.2 Nm adjustable torque driver and Torx T8 bit to partially reinstall the six T8 screws (923-05266) into the display hinges in the order shown.

  5. Close the display and adjust it until it’s flush with the top case.

  6. Stand up the computer on a clean, flat surface to level the front-to-rear display hinge alignment.

  7. Ensure that the adjustable torque driver is still set to 0.6. With the display closed, use the adjustable torque driver and Torx T8 bit to fully reinstall the six T8 screws into the display hinges in the order shown.

  8. Roll (1) and tuck (2) the body of each spring tensioner so it sits flush against the internal frame. The spring tensioner cables should lay completely flat in the top case. The four screw holes in the body of the spring tensioners should align with the screw holes in the internal frame.

  9. Set the 10–34 Ncm adjustable torque driver to 11.5 Ncm.

  10. Use the 10–34 Ncm adjustable torque driver and Torx Plus 3IP bit to reinstall the four T3 screws (923-05251) into the two spring tensioners.
