    • Remove the screen cover from the screen.

    • Pry off a pair of small covers at the back of the hinges first.

    • Carefully grab the edges of the screen cover from opposite ends and pull off the screen towards you.

    There’s a pair of small plaster cover at the back of each hinge. You need to pry them off first or they will get in the way.

    • Grab the edges of the screen and pull it out towards you.
