***READ: This display was cracked, and I swapped it with a secondhand IPS FHD assembly from a liquid damaged laptop that was intact. Nothing was wasted, as I keep it for a spare magnesium lid with bezel for a non-IR 7490.***
Within the assembly/removed from assembly. Notice the fact the seal is “one way” and cannot be reversed:
