Description:

Steps:

1. Use the point of a spudger to scrape off any adhesive left on the frame.
2. Apply a bit of isopropyl alcohol to a cotton swab or lint-free cloth and clean the frame until it's free of adhesive residue.
3. Alternatively, use our adhesive cleanup kit.

4. If your replacement screen comes with adhesive pre-applied, skip this step.
5. Use your fingers to install strips of thin, double-sided tape to the raised lip along the edges of the frame. Use 1 mm strips for the top and bottom edges and 2 mm strips for the sides.

6. Use angled tweezers to peel off all liners from the adhesive.

7. Don't adhere the screen to the frame yet.
8. Align the screen's cable with its cutout in the frame.
9. Route the cable through its cutout, ensuring it reaches its connector on the board.

10. Align the right edge of the screen with its recess in the frame.
11. Press the right edge of the screen into place, then work your way to the left edge until the entire screen is adhered to the frame.
12. If the screen starts to feel misaligned as you work your way down, lift it back up and try again. Try to avoid stretching or creasing the adhesive.

13. Use tweezers or your fingers to slide the screen cable into its ZIF connector until it's fully seated.
14. If you're using tweezers, you can use the flat end of a spudger to help guide the cable into its connector.
15. Flip the hinged locking flap down to secure the cable.
