    Gateway MD2614U Bezel Removal

    I'm trying to replace the backlight inverter of my laptop but I'm having trouble removing the bezel. There are no bezel screws that I can find on this model as there are no rubber feet, and the general setup leaves little to be searched for release tabs or hidden screws. The sides pop off very easily but the top and bottom won't budge.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Again, there are no rubber feet on this models bezel.

    Was wondering if you ever figured this out. I am having the same issue!!
    Thanks

    Yeah I figured it out. You have to give it a lot of force for the top portion, and to get the bottom portion out you have to pretty much take the case apart. I'd take the case apart and set each screw aside based on size and then either remember where they went or draw yourself a picture.

    Thanks. Appreciate the info. Yours had no screws on top, all on the bottom right? This is the first time I've run into a laptop built like this one.
