Steps:

1. If the Glass is cracked, contain further breakage by putting packaging tape on the broken glass. I recommend pitting on safety glasses in case any breakage is loose from the tape.

2. Remove the 2 screws on the Dock Connector side. Refer to the second image for taking of the front assembly.

3. Angle the screes to a 45 degree angle and use a spudger (or your finger) to disconnect cable 1.

4. Tilt the display to an almost vertical angle and use a spudger (or your finger) to disconnect cable 2.

5. Disconnect Cable 3. You will need to open the locking mechanism with a spudger (or your finger) to remove cable 3, otherwise it would be physically impossible to remove and reconnect cable 3.
6. Sometimes the colours are inverted. In this case, the locking mechanism latch is always the smaller colour.
7. In some Non-American countries, the latch is non-existent. In this case you would have to slide the cable off the port, and you would have to apply pressure to reconnect it.

8. Reconnect Cable 4 from the picture.
