To the OP get yourself one of those little boxes with all the compartments, or some egg cartons and keep track of what screw goes where.
Most will fit in multiple locations, but the LENGTH will be different.
Take pics with your digital camera.
Have plenty of good light, a magnifying glass and an ESD strap if you have one.
Be VERY gentle with the ribbon cables. Most require you to slide/pull little locking tabs before you slide them out.
See if you can locate a service manual or how to on the net before starting because sometimes there are "secret latches" where you need to press on a certain part of the case in order to release a latch inside.
Think pads are notorious for that.
Good luck!
