Description:

Steps:

1. Use your finger or the flat end of a spudger to flip up the locking flap on the screen cable ZIF connector.

2. Use tweezers or your fingers to gently pull the cable out of its connector.

3. Flip the console over so the screen is facing up.
4. Apply a heated iOpener to the bottom edge of the screen for two minutes.
5. Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the screen until it's hot to the touch.
6. Be careful not to heat the console hotter than this—the frame is susceptible to heat damage.

7. Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the screen, above the right speaker and ventilation cutouts.
8. Pull up on the handle with a strong, steady force to create a gap between the screen and the frame.
9. Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap.
10. If you can't create a gap large enough to fit an opening pick, reheat the bottom edge of the screen and try again.

11. Slide your pick across the bottom edge to separate the adhesive.
12. Leave your pick inserted in the bottom left corner to prevent the adhesive from resealing.

13. Apply a heated iOpener to the left edge of the screen for two minutes.
14. When using a hair dryer or heat gun, heat the screen until it's hot to the touch.

15. Insert a second opening pick next to the first one and slide it up the left edge of the screen.

16. Repeat the heating and sliding procedure along the remaining screen edges.

17. Lift the screen off the frame to remove it.
18. If any adhesive strips are still stuck to the frame, peel it up with slow, steady force to release it.
