Guide is almost 100% accurate for G73 SW.
The differences for me were:
Step 6: There are also 2 tiny little screws under the DVD ROM as well.
Step 10: my laptop has had the keyboard glued to the cover so be gentle with releasing it from its original place.
Step 11: is incomplete. be aware that you have to release all ribbon cables and contacts through the cut outs before attempting to release the top cover. I would find at least a description on how to release these cables very usefull.
My total time was around 2,5 hours. But i did such thing for the very first time. I guess next time i would be much more faster.
WARNING. Before you begin, make sure that you will get some extension or longer philllps screwdriver to release the screws on the chasis. most of them are too deep in plastic where I couldnt reach with ifixit driver. I uses hexbit 4 as an extension for the phillips bit, but it was emergency workaround and it was cumberosome to use it since the phillips kept sliding out of hex.
