Use an opening tool or spudger to peel back the outer rim of the display.

Continue to peel back the entire rim.

Now locate the two screws on each side at the bottom of the display.

TOP screw: unscrew partially.

BOTTOM screw: completely unscrew and set to the side.

Complete on both sides of display.

Carefully separate the display from the top cover.

Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to unscrew all four 0.8 mm screws from the left side of the display frame. Repeat for the right side.
-
Push the metal plates/rods that were attached to the display towards the top cover.

The display should be completely free of the top cover and able to lay flat on the keyboard (refer to photo #2).

With the display laying on the keyboard, locate the black square panel marked in the photo.
-
Grab the side marked in photo #2 and pull it towards you peeling off the surrounding tape and releasing it from the actual display board.

This will then remove the connection between the display and the top cover.

this guide is really bad, dangerous and should be removed !
at step 3 you crack and kill the existing display. If it was still somewhat working before now you are assured it is completely dead !
agreed, step 3 should use the opening tool on a top corner of the bezel, not against the screen. you just screwed up the screen if it worked at all
