Perform LCD Assembly Replacement without disassemble the screen cover?

I would recommend you review this IFIXIT guide: MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Early 2011 Display Replacement on taking the display assembly fully off. As its a lot easier to remove the cover glass and replace the LCD. Or, if you just want to get it done quickly, replace the complete lid assembly.

To take the cover glass off you do need to watch how to apply your heat gun as you can quickly damage the rubber. I use a small metal ruler to act as a shield protecting it from heat guns heat as I heat the edge.

Here's a good guide to follow on the steps to pop the cover glass: MacBook Pro 15" Unibody 2.53 GHz Mid 2009 LCD Replacement. Pick things up from Step19. Take your time as it doesn't take much to break the glass.

@danj Thank you so much for your help. I will follow this two tutorials¡ I will replace the complete lid but its really expensive¡ I have all tools so, i will try my best.

Just one question, how do you use the metal ruler?

Thanks a lot¡

I cover the rubber with it (shielding it) so the hot air flow of the heat gun is deflected from the direct heat. Place it just over the aluminum edge and rubber gasket leaving the glass exposed to the gun as you work the glass free.
