I made a detail layout of the screws....al together there were about 60 screws. No dead Pixels...and the pictures look increadible.
However...the movies in 768 still look the same although i'm in 1080p now
my girlfriend didn't record me like she said she was, but I took a couple of pictures.

Congratulations. That's a nice laptop mod.
