  • A layer of adhesive around the perimeter of the display holds it securely to the front case. The following steps require prying up on the display with a spudger to free it from the adhesive.

  • The display is inherently delicate due to its thin glass construction. In the next few steps it is essential to work slowly and gently while prying the display from the front case.

  • Insert a spudger in the gap between the front case and the display near the top right corner. Slowly and gently pry the display up at several points along the top edge of the display, working your way toward the left corner.
