            Remove the 6 rubber screw covers and screws, found around the edge of the laptop screen, surrounded in red and blue.

            Use the plastic opener tools to remove the screw covers. Just apply firm pressure to the edges to pop the screw covers out, they are attached with a light adhesive.

            There are four 2.5mm X 4mm-L Phillips #0 screws along the top.

            Now we must remove the plastic panel.

            Slide a plastic opener tool along the outside edges of the front screen panel, separating it from the screen. You may need to apply some firm pressure.

            Once the panel is separated from the screen, gently pull it off and set it aside.

            Remove the screen from the back screen panel. 
- 
            Set the screen facing down gently onto the keyboard. 
- 
            Now that the screen is placed face down onto the keyboard we are going to remove the wire connecting the screen to the device. 
- 
            The wire is held on by an adhesive tape that must be lifted with the spudger tool. 
- 
            Once the tape is lifted, slide your finger under and gently pull up the rest of the tape to free the wire. 
- 
            Gently pull the wire towards the back of the device and the screen will now be free.

                  - 
            Finally we must remove the metal mounting hardware attached to the screen.

            Remove the six 2mm X 3mm-L Phillips #0 screws.
