One only needs to go to page 14 of this guide to install a new front bezel. This can be replaced without virtually dismantling the entire computer. By that, I mean you don't have to take the battery out, you don't have to take the top of the case off, you don't have to take the entire display off. Simply pry off the old front bezel with a plastic card, just as in the directions, being careful not to overextend the display on its hinges while in the processes.
