How to dismantle Acer Aspire 4530 (And Fix The WebCam Problem)

If your WebCam sometimes works and sometimes doesn't
Chances it is due to the lose wiring of the WebCam USB Cable
When you open/close the lid the Cable loses connection

To fix it you have to dismantle the front panel (There is no tearing of warranty sticker in the process)

Edit: Now I am trying a new solution 
It is actually very simple 
Use the Bison AP Driver instead of SuYin 
It works better as shown here.

The full guide to dismantling Aspire 4530 is available here

The front panel is boxed in blue



This is how to dismantle front panel

  1. Unscrew the screws circled in red
  2. Gently using a flat head screw driver gently lever the clips boxed in green
Additional tips
If the rubber pads boxed in blue drops out

Do not panic and send back to the service centre
They are attached to the laptop using double sided adhesive tape
Simply clean the surface and replace the pads using new double sided adhesive tapes

  • You should see a gap between the front panel and the body of the laptop

  1. Using the flat head screw driver detach the front panel gently
  2. You should see the front panel exposed

  1. Again Gently detach the keyboard by pushing it upwards and then outwards towards you
  2. Do not pull the keyboard there is a flat cable still attached to it

  1. If you need to replace the keyboard this is it
  2. Continuing you should see 2 wires (left and right) running from the LCD through the hinge

  1. Gently pull (just a bit will do) and loosen the wires to ensure the wires are not strained at the hinge part so when you close the lid the wires will not be strained
  2. Remember to tighten the connectors while you are at it
  3. Replace everything and reboot
The Picture below therefore should be the antenna of the Atheros Wireless Card
