In Need of A Service Guide Or Help With LCD Panel Replacement MD7818U

Thread Starter 

Was wondering if anyone could hook me up with a service guide for my MD7818U.

 

I need to replace the lcd panel due to water damage.  I cant seem to get the bezel off as there is no screws also I think the hinge covers are causing issues and I dont know how to remove them also

 

If someone could help me out it would be appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Probably just some screws underneath, then popping up the power bezel to expose the hinges area. LCD frame is just a matter of prying off or some retaining screws underneath the small round plastic buttons

cheers ...

Would you happen to have a guide or illustration of this? I dont see the screws under neath....just some seperate compartments for cpu...hard disk.....battery door.

 

Can't visualize it

Sorry yes,,there are screws on the bottom casing but I dont want to take apart the whole thing if not needed.  Can this model not have the bezel removed without that hassle.?

 

I can unsnap the sides using my hands but there are strong resistance at the corners near the hinges and at the top with the webcam

You don't need to take the whole thing apart, but there are times where the bottom screws hold the the top part (power bezel and hinges) together. Unless you can pop out the top upper beyel where the screen is.

Are you sure there are none of these on the bottom of your screen bezel
