Step 4
- Locate the seam between the screen cover, and the top panel
- Starting at one of the hinge corners, take a thin metal prying tool and gently insert it into the seam.
- Gently push the tool down towards the top panel until you feel the screen cover disconnect.
- Repeat this process all around the screen cover until it is completely disconnected from the top panel.
- During this process, you might hear a rough snapping sound. This is normal, and is just the sound of the screen cover’s connections to the top panel coming apart.
- Make sure to be gentle with your prying, and to move in small increments around the screen cover during this process. This is to prevent any cracks or damage to the cover, which could be harmful.

Step 6
- Locate the gold video cable that still connects the LCD cable to the display.
- There will be a piece of tape on the cable. Carefully peel this off, and the pins should come out easily.
- The pins are very small and delicate. Any pressure or twisting on them may cause irreversible damage, and require a replacement of the cable.
