Step 4

              Take out the screen               

• Lift the screen out (do not remove the screen!) with your fingers, it should come off easily.
• You are able to put the screen on the keyboard, there is enough space between the cable and the screen.
• Do not attempt to remove the screen, it’s still connected with the video cable, if you remove it, you could damage the cable and/or the connector!

Step 5

              Remove the plastic flap               

• Remove the plastic flap which is securing the connector. Do not entirely remove the flap, but just create enough space to reach the connector.
• And there is another flap which is directly on the connector, remove it with your plastic opening tool. You can remove this one entirely from the connector. The connector should now be visible.

In step 6, the second plastic flap is completely removed. Does this need to be replaced after installing the new screen?

Hi!

No, you can reuse the plastic flap. It will stay at it’s place when you place it back. You can even do it without the plastic flap, it’s just for extra security to hold everything at it’s place.
