13.3-Inch LCD Bracket Removal: Dell™ Inspiron™ 3000 and 3200
- Remove the front bezel.
- Remove the LCD panel.
- Remove the hinges.
- Remove the bracket from the back cover.
Remove EPE foam (taped in place). Remove bracket screws BR1, BR2, and
BR3. Remove the bracket using 2 plastic wedges. Be careful not to break the plastic case
of the back cover or mar the EMI finish on the inside of the cover. Start in the lower
left corner. Insert a plastic wedge under the bracket and apply pressure upward to free
the bracket from the back cover. Insert another plastic wedge one tab at a time along one
side of the bezel. Free the bracket from the one corner and this frees the bottom of the
bracket. Free the bracket from one side. Repeat the procedure on the other side. Freeing
the sides will free the bottom of the bracket. Finally, free the bracket from the top of
the bezel. The 2 top tabs should come free easily.
To reinstall the bracket, the LCD cable harness and the inverter board cable must be
under the bracket and through the correct channels in the bracket and the back cover. Be
careful not to break the hidden plastic tabs when reinstalling the bracket.
