My screen has been having some issues, and it's an aftermarket screen I installed about 10 months ago. It's been fine up until about 3 months ago. It is flickering, but if you tap up in front of the keyboard a little, it will start working. I am assuming a loose connection, so I was going to tear it down and check it all out.
Problem is, i can't figure out how to get the damn keyboard off again. I looked at the disassembly manual (supplied below for your convenience) and it says to move the keyboard up towards the display, then pull it back over the touchpad. I can not get the thing to come loose for the life of me. I've had it apart before, so I know I can do it, I just need a little reminder.
Another thing, which could make everything above useless... I sent my computer off to HP sometime last year to get another MoBo, keyboard, and odd, free of charge. can i ask them if i can send it back, and them fix the screen, saying it started about the time i got it back from them? or will they even deal with it since it's an aftermarket screen?
I've got the three from underneath the battery. I will mess around with it some more tomorrow, I just wanted to get another opinion before I broke it. I thought maybe the Tear-Down manual forgot a step or something, from what I remember they did leave out a few steps in the r3000 manual.
