ThinkPad 345C LCD Bezel

[Amyy]

Hi, this is my first post here so I apologize in advance if I'm doing anything wrong. Please let me know.

My friend has a (very cute!) ThinkPad 345C which works, but the LCD polarizer is degraded. She has plenty of experience with polarizer replacements on other laptops (wizardry as far as I'm concerned ), but we aren't sure how to get the bezel off and don't want to risk damaging it. We found the "volume 2" service manual (https://thinkpads.com/support/hmm/hmm_pdf/tpvol2.pdf) which covers 340x/345x/type 2610, but it only describes how to remove the entire display assembly.

Does anyone have any tips for us or a link to a guide?

Thank you!

2/4 or 6 fairly obvious front screws and then best to get a very thin spudger inbetween the LCD bezel and the outside of the LCD itself (the bottom LCD is often still double-sided-adhesive attached to the bezel. Then it's just a case of unspudging the plastic clips all around the outside. Good find. I've only ever found (and have) a 345CS - where they Asia only?
