      • Before installing the screen board, make sure you know how it will be oriented. The cables need to line up with their sockets.

      • Gently press the board into place on the replacement screen.

      • The residual adhesive should be sticky enough to reuse. If the board isn't staying in place, use thin double-sided tape to secure it.
