You mixed up the red and green screws, sizes are wrong.
The red screws are 9.5 not 14.3!
the yellow screws are 4.3 (mixed up with 14.3 ?) not 9.5 !
You do NOT need to remove the ribbons, just use a small screwdriver.
Excellent work !
Same issue as Tony on 09/03/2014
The screw sizings are mixed up. The red screws are 9.5, not 14.3
The yellow screws are 14.3 not 9.5. Please fix the repair guide text
It should be fixed now! Thanks to both of you for the tip. By the way, you can always edit the text yourself. ;)
Thanks for the info!
