Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide outlines the steps in fully removing the LCD facial display of the Anki Vector. Such a procedure should be executed only if none of the solutions on the Anki troubleshooting guide were unsuccessful.
While disassembling Vector, make sure to check for loose cables/connectors and other broken parts. Often times these can be fixed without replacing the entire display.
Be careful to not rip the rubber sheet on the back of the display while removing or working with it, as it is very delicate and easy to tear.
