    The Studio XPS 13 has really flimsy rubberized cables going into the monitor. The cable for my webcam just went bad so Im wondering if anyone knows how to replace it? I know for sure it's the cable because depending on how I open my screen, the webcam intermittently works.

    I know how to take apart the main machine and detach the cable going into motherboard...but how do you take apart the screen to detach the other end of the cable? Ive taken the four stainless steel screws on the monitor's front bezel but the screen does not want to come apart. Im also afraid of scratching the screen.

    Thanks.
