I got a board today that had no backlight on the screen and when I looked around the lcd connector there was corrosion and pins 3/4 on the cable were burned. I replaced the connector and now I am waiting on the cable to come in Monday.
I have replaced the cable on an Air board before but could you correct me if I'm wrong. Previously I removed the bezel covering the screen with a painters knife and hot air. The issue I had was removing the black cover that is covering the cable. The last time I did this I broke a piece off of it. It allowed me to remove and replace the cable but it damaged the appearance of the Macbook.
My question is what is the best way to remove the black cover that is surrounding the lvds cable?
I uploaded some images so you can see what I am referring to.
