I have ordered a replacement as well, and unless somebody else posts a howto, I am planning on taking a video of me taking it apart, then playing it back in reverse and hoping for the best .
I naively assumed it would come with some type of instructions on how to do the replacement. No such luck.
Does anyone have procedures on how to do the replacement?
Thanks.
I'm looking forward to it! If I get some time and some nerve, I may give it a try.
I sent a note to support asking for documentation. They sent a PDF with pictures on how to do the replacement. I've attached the document.

Not difficult; go slow and follow the PPT slides. I just put the screws and parts in an ordered stack; made it easy to reassemble. A couple of notes:Could you post a link to the guide you followed? Thanks!
I wish threre were a backlit keyboard available.
- On first boot, the keyboard didn't work. Some keys would register a random character. Make sure you have a USB keyboard handy. It worked fine. I did a keyboard/trackpad patch. I followed the Manjaro procedure. On reboot, the keyboard works fine.
- The screen was very dim, almost unreadable. FN+F2 worked to increase the display.
