Introduction
If the device's screen is experiencing problems in its visuals, such as discoloration or image distortion, your device may need a display replacement. Otherwise, if the device does not register touches then you may want to replace the digitizer. Confirm the device is powered off before starting the disassembly.
What you need
-

Unscrew the two 3mm screws at the base of the device using the Torx T5 screwdriver.

Unscrew the eight 2.5mm screws along the perimeter of the display using the Phillips #000 screwdriver.
On my GO 5000 Tomtom have thoughtfully drilled out one screw head to prevent removal of the screen. A very small “backwards drill bit” screw extractor is required to remove this screw.

Separate the display from the digitizer. The display is now fully removed from the device.
This tells you how to remove the LCD screen. That’s all. Nothing about the digitiser, which is the part most likely to break. Please re-flag as “LCD removal only”.
