Front Bezel Removal: Dell™ Inspiron™ 7000

This procedure assumes that you have removed the

display assembly

from the computer base. To remove the front bezel, follow these steps:

1. Use a dental pick to pry the rubber screw covers off of the bottom 2 screws and the rubber bumpers off of the top 2 screws.
2. Remove the (4) 6-mm screws from the front bezel.
3. Unsnap the front bezel from the back cover and remove it from the assembly.

Carefully insert your fingers between the LCD panel and the bezel. Roll the plastic up slightly to insert your fingers further in, and then lift upward to free the snaps. Start at the

middle bottom and then work around.

When replacing the bezel, ensure that the LCD wire harness is routed correctly through the openings in the back cover and is not pinched.
