Anyone with concerns over using the AMD 7040 series as a standalone might take some comfort in knowing that when you first boot it up, it will prompt you to enter standalone mode. Judging by past comments, this seems like a newer addition where people used to struggle to get into the bios to even change that setting.
I did struggle getting the AMD drivers to install though. I had to do a few cycles of removing/re-installing them. Ultimately, installing directly from the AMD product section (not auto-discovery) worked for me.
I'm also getting a lot of TMP alarms in Windows 11 event viewer. I ordered a RTC battery to see if that makes a difference. For now, I just disabled device encryption. I'll reply to this post with more details at a later date.
Very simple to follow. Great guide that made my replacement simple. My only feedback is to maybe include a good picture of the display cable. Mine came out a bit further from the display and it was tricky figuring out where it went back in. Maybe a step after 28 showing the display bezel going back on would be a good place for that.

Completed in about 45 minutes. Step 11 is missing a couple red circles on screws that need to be removed, but it was easy enough to figure out.
