Step 1 Prepare the replacement display



• The Framework Display Kit comes with an extra webcam bracket. If you're not using this kit to repair your display, skip this step.
• Inspect the replacement display and carefully peel off any protective liners.
• Use your Framework Screwdriver to remove the two 3.3 mm‑long T5 Torx screws securing the webcam bracket on the replacement display.
• Remove the webcam bracket.
• Remove any protective liners that may be in the webcam recess. The liners are normally clear or colored plastic films that easily detach.
• You can use the replacement bracket and screws, or you can reuse your existing ones.

Step 2 Install the display



• Carefully lay the display screen-side down on top of the Input Cover. The edge with the webcam should lay near the touchpad edge.
• The Input Cover magnets will align the display to itself.
• Use your fingers to slide the display off the Input Cover magnets towards the hinge edge so that the display cable can reach its connector.

Step 4
• Swing the locking bar down over the connector.
• If the locking bar can't swing all the way down around the connector, you'll need to insert the cable deeper into the connector.
• Lay the clear tab over the connector and press it onto the display.
