    • Starting on the edge that is opposite the hinge, use the plastic opening tools to pry the back plate away from the computer.

    • Loosen the three non-hinge edges.

    • Leave a plastic opening tool in each corner to ensure that one side does not snap closed before you are done opening the others.

    • DO NOT lift the back plate away from the computer; it is still connected to the motherboard.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to lift the side of the battery that is closest to the long edge of the computer.

    • As you are pulling the battery away from the computer, unplug it from the side closest to the short edge of the computer.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the front panel away from the screen. First, work across the top edge of the screen assembly, corner to corner.

    • Pry the front panel away from the screen, leaving adjacent edges touching near the hinge of the laptop.

    • When separating the screen and front panel, it may be helpful to leave an opening tool in the corners so they do not snap closed.

This is more of a TOP Lid replacement how-to than the actual lcd and touch panel replacement. many steps not mentioned here at all. MEH

Lane Jasper -

I feel as though this guide was based on false advertising. “This guide will help return your bubbly or malfunctioning screen back to its vibrant glory days “ Sure, by just replacing the screen. I was hoping for a fix for the “bubbles” in between the screen and the glass that this model is so well known for. I well.

Jonathan Smith -

Ditto - looking for how to perhaps remove the glass and reattach w/out air bubbles. Or - which part do I need to replace - minimum, not the whole top half of my laptop. thanks satelite p55w b5112 how to repair air bubbles under screen

mjashley -

Did anyone find out how to remove bubbles? Or just replace the inner screen - I assume the top layer of glass is kept? Only the inner screen gets replaced? Because the bubbles are along the non-black part of the display… I know that the bubble started as 1 tiny smudge from opening it with one hand… now there are multiple bubbles that interfere with operation. At times, the bubble sends a “click” because the screen flashes a zillion times until I restart it - its like having a stuck key except the stuck key is the bubble……

Since it is getting worse, I need to replace the part that has the bubble embedded. I don’t want to buy a new laptop, when its just a screen, and possible a fan (2nd time replacing it - but i run on ssd so it’s not as critical since it does not get hot ).

mjashley -

do you know wich is the part number for the screen?

solisjls -

I also need the part number. The lower left of glass is broken, so air bubbles are big and triggering “touch"es…
