Hi, Harwant,
I started to copy the relevant pages out of my service manual, but
there is too much and it is worse than useless without the accompanying

4 Remove the three
mounting screws that
secure the CPU stiffener
to the bottom case.
Replacement Note: The
left-most CPU stiffener
mounting screw is also a
battery contact. If you fail
to reinstall this screw, the
battery may not charge.
5 Lift the CPU stiffener
and attached display
housing straight up and
remove the unit from the
bottom case.
