Use this guide to replace the screen bezel on your Lenovo ThinkPad T470 laptop.

The screen bezel is a plastic border that covers the internal components within the screen assembly including the WLAN and WWAN antennas and camera. You may need to replace your screen bezel if it is cracked or damaged. Be sure to clean any remaining adhesive on the display assembly and reapply fresh adhesive when installing a new display bezel for best results.

Make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources before you begin.
