Figure 4-42. 12.1-Inch Inverter Board Removal
To remove the 12.1-inch inverter board, follow these steps:
1. Remove the front bezel.
See “12.1-Inch LCD Front Bezel” found earlier in this section.
2. Remove the LCD panel.
See the previous subsection, “12.1-Inch LCD Panel.” You may not want to
remove this panel if you are replacing only the inverter board.
3. Disconnect the inverter cable from connector CN2 at the bottom of the
inverter board, and remove the cable.
4. Remove the inverter board from the back cover.
The inverter board is mounted on two plastic snaps. It is held in place by
these snaps and Kapton tape near the bottom of the board.
When replacing the inverter board, make sure you have the correct board. The
inverter board for a 12.1-inch IBM LCD assembly is different from the inverter
board for a 12.1-inch Samsung LCD assembly.
