• Now that the screws are removed, gently lay the screen face down on the keyboard. It is best to lay a cloth on the keyboard first to keep debris form entering the keyboard.
• After laying down the screen, carefully disconnect the ribbon cable located at the bottom middle of the display screen by pulling straight back towards the laptop cover.
• Be gentle, if the ribbon cable is damaged in the removal it will need to be replaced as well for the new display to work.

Hi,

If I have an i3 with non-touch matte display Dell Chromebook 7310 and an i5 touch glossy display, is it possible to swap the displays/lids so that the i5 has the non-touch matte display?
