then replace the screw to secure the LED indicator panel shield to the notebook.

Reassemble the notebook. Replace the main battery and secondary battery (if

The LED panel’s metal shielding is very thin and will break
if you bend it too much. Be careful when handling the EMI
panel shielding.

cables. Be careful not to damage the connectors or the
wires when installing this screw.
