Before removing the replacement LCD panel from its anti-static bag, we do one last check to ensure the data cable connectors are the same spot. The connectors line up perfectly (see: orange lines, below), so we're ready to unscrew the final screws holding the cracked LCD panel from the metal frame and make the swap.

Undo the screws which connect the metal frame to the LCD screen panel. There are two screws along the top edge and two more by the hinges.

After the last two screws are removed, carefully slide the broken LCD panel out and set it aside.

We now have three different sets of screws, grouped according to where they go in the notebook. The foam really helps organize these tiny fasteners.
