I'm trying to open the display to change the lcd on my aspire 5050, but I can't get the cover off around the top under the built in webcam, and don't want to break it. Does anyone have a service manual or can guide me on what I need to do to get the cover off around this area?

Replacing lcd is still standard for ALL laptops

Use a credit card and try to pry along the edges up, mostly snap-on latches

cheers ...

I've replaced more LCD's than I can count...this is the first Acer I've done and this one is a little different. Can someone who has actually changed an LCD in an Aspire 5050 reply please?

Thanks Pharlaptop...that helped. It turns out the two screws under the webcam had black stickers over that looked like factory blank-offs. Once the picture you sent confirmed the fact that there were screws there, I looked a little closer and relized they were stickers. Thanks again.
