Step 3

              Separate the face from the display

At this point, the face is held on with little clips and adhesive. Go around the edge of the laptop screen gently prying the clips open.
The adhesive is on the inner edge. Since I didn’t care about the current screen, I also gripped the inner edge of the face, and pushed against the screen a little.

Step 4

              Separate the back cover from LCD

Each lower corner of the screen has two PH0 screws. Remove them.
Note that the two holes with screws have little triangle marks. This will make your reassembly easier when you try to remember which two holes to use.
Lift the screen 45º of the laptop. The back should now be disconnected from the main frame of the display, and should be able to be pulled up to 90º.

Step 7

              Swap panel

At this point, the LCD is removed, and the new one can be attached.
From this point forward in the instructions, you will need to pretty much work backwards.
I made notes to make it a bit easier.
Remember the little triangle markers when attaching the frame to the back.

Step 8

              Add new adhessive

Apply new adhesive to the back of the LCD face (otherwise there will be a little rattle).
I used standard double-sided tape.
I folded it lengthwise to thicken it, and trimmed with a razor.
If you look closely, you will see light markings where the tape should be applied.
(sorry about this last photo,iFixit makes the crop 4:3, which cuts off the image… Ill try to replace next time I replace one.)

Do each side separately, starting at the bottom, and working up.

Good guide, I used it to replace an LCD on a HP EliteBook 8540p.

The only difference between those two models for replaceling the screen is that there are 6 rubber pads need to be removed (and thus 6 screws under the pads) (the two rubber pads at the top center you need to remove to).
