In reply to Jim. Yeah, it's necessary to separate the display panel from the top case first. Otherwise you will not be able to remove the video cable. The display removal instructions are published in another guide. I linked to it at the beginning.

Very nice guide – thanks!!
From your photos I am guessing it is not possible to replace the display cable without separating the touchscreen assembly from the display cover?

In reply to Ganesh. Ganesh, in my previous guide you will find instructions for the base disassembly. Here's the link: https://www.insidemylaptop.com/how-to-disassemble-lenovo-ideapad-flex-5-1470-model-81c9/ You need to replace the top case (keyboard) assembly. That's where the screw anchors are located. Search on eBay or google the part number: AM1YM000200. This is top case for a Lenovo IdeaPad 5-1470. I hope it helps. I found new top case available here: https://amzn.to/2stqgLE

Nice blog on the disassembly of the laptop. Any thoughts on replacement of the base enclosure? My hinge pulled off the housing for the screws and now I cannot close the laptop properly. Replacing the hinge is not going to solve the issue as the screws are not amenable to be fixed to the base. I need to replace the base but I have not been able to source it.

Thanks!
