Loads of screws that don’t need to be removed just to remove the rear case.
Omit step 3,

Take great care not to pull on ribbon cables

One arm screws holding the Screen, the screws lost contact to the arm.
I did all steps, it worked perfectly!
At Step 3 the plastic parts holding the HDMI Cover fell out and I had to find out how to get it in again, but i figured it out with the good pictures here!
Thanks for that awesome work!
