Please be careful at step 5. This is because the wiring attached to the microphone is very delicate and might snap when you are wiggling the bezel free from the rest of the computer. I did this and spent a lot of time soldering back the thin microphone wires. Pull the bezel away carefully, taking care not to snap any of the wires.
