13.3-Inch LCD Panel Removal: Dell™ Inspiron™ 7000

This procedure assumes that you have removed the front bezel. Follow these steps to remove the 13.3-inch LCD panel:

1. Remove the (8) 6-mm screws that secure the left and right LCD brackets to the front plastic cover.
2. Detach the LCD wire harness from connector CN2 on the right side of inverter board.
3. If present, carefully remove the grounding tape between the inverter board and LCD panel.
4. Loosen the 3-mm screw securing the inverter board.
5. Lift the LCD panel, LCD brackets, and carrier tray, as a unit, out of the back cover.
   Rotate upward from the bottom of the panel because the top slides underneath the plastic hooks.
6. Remove the hinges, which were previously held in place by pressure and screws.

To remove the inverter board, follow these steps:

1. Remove the 3-mm screw securing the inverter board to the back cover.
2. If you have not removed the LCD panel, disconnect the LCD wire harness from connectors CN1 and CN2 on the inverter board.
3. Remove the inverter board from the back cover.
