    • The Framework Display Kit comes with an extra webcam bracket. If you're not using this kit to repair your display, skip this step.

    • Inspect the replacement display and carefully peel off any protective liners.

    • Use your Framework Screwdriver to remove the two 3.3 mm‑long T5 Torx screws securing the webcam bracket on the replacement display.

    • Remove the webcam bracket.

    • Remove any protective liners that may be in the webcam recess. The liners are normally clear or colored plastic films that easily detach.

    • You can use the replacement bracket and screws, or you can reuse your existing ones.
