[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1300172, member: 8287"] Is yours the White 24" or the Aluminum one? What are the exact specs? The White 24" is easy to take apart. Mostly the screws on the bottom of the display then the front lifts forward then up and off. There is a catch at the top of the front Bezel. Once inside, you have to take off the LCD. Just be careful and first remove the LCD's plug from the main board. There are two very small Torx screws. You will need a couple of sizes of Torx drivers. When you lift the LCD be careful of the Inverter wires and unplug them before lifting it out. The rest is easy but do get the Heat Sensor off the old hard drive and on the new one. Let me know your exact model and specs. If yours is the new alunimium one, more of a pain. You need suction cups to get that front glass panel off and be CAREFUL! :D [/QUOTE]
