That would be the guide to take off the upper DISPLAY ASSEMBLY, not the screen.

I was expecting you to bring iOpeners and get the actual glass LCD out …

But it’s a good guide.

Is there a way only the screen can be replaced on Dell XPS 13, not the entire display assembly. From what I have got so far, the entire panel above the keyboard is a single unit
