Step 2
- The snap seals don’t need a lot of pressure to open, and may break if forced. Be gentle with the opening tool.
- Wedge the sharp edge of the plastic opening tool into the seam between the back panel and the rest of the laptop, then gently pry the panel up.
- There will be a snapping sound as you remove the back panel, but that is just the seal loosening.
- Continue breaking the seals by sliding the plastic opening tool around the entire laptop under the seam until the back panel is free.
- Once you have broken all the seals, carefully lift the panel off.

Hey there, thank you for the great guide. My computer fell off a desk and has a very minor signature on the screen- specifically, the top left hand corner/left side of screen is slightly lighter than the original coloring / rest of the screen. It doesnt impede use of the laptop at all, but frankly I’d prefer to repair the laptop since it was a big investment.
I’m concerned that maybe the fall damaged the corners or snap seals- if they were damaged, could they cause a distortion on the screen? if if I replaced the screen, would that solve the problem? IF anyone had any ideas, id appreciate!!

This excellent guide also works for the Model GL502V. A few very minor differences and my own personal high-tech sticky-tack seal solution. Ifixit FTW!

You don’t actually have to take the bottom of the laptop apart and separate the hinge. You have enough access to simply pull and unscrew the bezel as is.

Just look on the sticker which is on the screen cable. It is written there.
