This step is for anti-glare display machines only. Skip this step if you have a glossy display.
Remove the two 8 mm Phillips screws securing the Bluetooth/camera cable retainer to the upper case.
One of the screws may remain captive in the Bluetooth/camera cable ground loop. If replacing the display, be sure to transfer this screw to the new unit.
Lift the AirPort board/cable retainer assembly out of the upper case.
Be sure to hold the display and upper case together with your other hand. Failure to do so may cause the freed display/upper case to fall, potentially damaging each component.
Remove the last remaining 6 mm Torx screw securing the display to the upper case.
Grab the upper case with your right hand and rotate it slightly toward the top of the display so the upper display bracket clears the edge of the upper case.
Rotate the display slightly away from the upper case.
Lift the display away from the upper case, minding any brackets or cables that may get caught.
Thanks for a fantastic guide! I needed to replace my track pad and this served me well. Also was the perfect opportunity to clean out all the dust. A couple minor mods and a trackpad guide could be published for all those like me.
