Remove all of the screws located on the bottom of the laptop:

-
5 Phillips 2.0 x 5.0 mm screws
“5 Phillips 2.4 x 5.7 mm screws”
“5 Phillips 2.0 x 5.0 mm screws”
I think the color for the sizes are mixed up, because the one near the screen bending part are the bigger ones, yet it says they are the “2.0 x 5.0 mm” but they are the bigger ones.
If I’m wrong, tell me because I’m not sure if thats the ways they’re named because I’m not an expert at screw sizes.

Question, why not just do step 21 on?
You can. Fold the computer all the way over and go from there. The only advantage to opening the bottom would be to disconnect the battery: a highly recommended procedure.
A little extra pulling the mother board out. But I guess better safe then sorry. All in all this was a good guide!
REMEMBER if your new touch screen does not work (no touch screen) go into the device manager and uninstall i2c hid device. restart the laptop and the driver (and touch) should work again.
I was able to install a new screen. However, the “touch” does not work. I tried the uninstall i2c hid (and also HID- compliant touch screen) trick, but no luck. My guess is its my fault during install. Before I go diving back in for a loose connection, does anyone know which connection I should focus on?
