    • Now that the six 5mm screws were removed, remove and separate the screen assembly as seen in the image.

    • As seen in the next step, the backplate of the screen assembly will be removed. There is no hardware keeping this in place except for adhesive glue. Therefore the screen assembly backplate will be gently pried free.
