MSI 1759 screen magnet locations?

[Larry Sabo]

Anybody know the correct location of the lid magnets on this screen? There's one on the left side mid-way down the screen but I have another shorter one (5x10mm) that was sticking to the top-right of the screen mounting frame that doesn't seem to have an obvious home.

Is it a GE70? There is an amateur video of a screen replacement here, and I can clearly see a left side magnet, but don't see any right side magnet...

I can't find a service manual other than some dead links here.

Thanks, @HCHTech. I carefully examined another video that didn't show the second magnet either. I just left it out, hoping the longer magnet does the job. I was worried though when I closed the lid and it didn't go to sleep. When the customer picked up the laptop this afternoon, he said he disabled Sleep on lid closed, so it's all good.

BTW, in that video, he has the cable installed wrong -- it goes under that bracket, not over it. If he damages that video cable he will get to change it and go through what I did.
