    Afaik there is no tutorial on this, but it ain't hard: unscrew the 6 screws under the pads, remove the black part by gently pulling it towards you/middle of the screen (begin in the webcam area), the rest ist more or less self-explanatory.

    I recommend you to read this thread about the cracking issue.

    If you have to take the backcover of the screen off you should be careful with the WLAN antennas. They are connected to your WLAN card, on the motherboard with 3 wires.

    Good luck with it - if your friend fixes it for good, would you let us know how he did
