Thank you very much, it is very helpful.
Just before I try to do this, I have a question to someone who has done it
before.

Will I need to disassemble the whole LCD, as in detaching the hinges from
the chasis? Or will just removing the front bezel and rear cover do the
trick?
I think all I need is to tighten something in the hinges....

Cheers!
