Hi @mymmy , Don’t know the answer as it will depend on skill level, but here’s the maintenance and service guide for the laptop, that may help. It details all the necessary pre-requisite steps and the procedures to remove all the components from the laptop. This should speed things up if no one is familiar with it already.
I would say that’s subject to your skill, patience, and access to tools. When I first go into phone repair it took about an hour to do a screen and now I can get it done in less than 15 minutes on iPhone. Samsung took me about 3 now I got it down to under an hour.
@mymmy - Stipping a system down for parts gets into how far you want to go. Someone with a good power driver and desk setup should be able to breakdown a system to the basic sub assemblies in around 30 to 45 mins. Breaking down the sub assemblies gets into what there worth is. Some parts are glued which will take more time to unglue and could be damaged in the process. I would add in 30 minutes more to take some of the sub assembles apart.
840 G5 takes about an hour with manual tools. bezel is glued. newer models, G7 and G8 panel is really thin and removing bezel can very much break the panel.
