    I stepped on my daughter's brand new laptop and broke her screen. I am trying to replace said screen with a new one but I cannot figure how to get the bezel removed. There are only two screws along the bottom and none on the top like my other laptop. I am unsure of how to remove this so I can replace the screen. It seems like it is one unit although I realize this can't be the case. :) Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    {If} you have those little round rubber pads around your bezel, my acer has six of them,there are screws under those.Use a small knife or really small screw driver and pull one off,then you can use a philips head driver to screw them out.
    then once out you can pry along the edges starting from the top and go around until bezel is loose then remove bezel to access screen.
    Just remember to unplug unit and pull battery out and press power button for 10 seconds to get all power out of laptop before you work on it.
