Step 1 Screen

Insert plastic opening tool into the corners of the Paperwhite and slide around the edge perimeter to remove bezel.
Be sure to begin prying along the edges, these are the optimal points for removing the bezel.

Step 2

Remove the eleven 3.2 mm Phillips 000 screws from corners of mid-frame and from behind the black strip as shown.
Do not forget the screw in the middle of the black adhesive strip.

Step 3

Carefully lift and remove the mid-frame.

Step 4

The screen itself is glued to the mid-frame. If your replacement screen does not include the mid-frame, heat the screen with an iOpener and gently pry it from the mid-frame with a blue plastic opening tool.
