The display can be separated from the logic board, just pull it free from the logic board connector.

My fitbit zip came apart at the seams. I decided to go ahead and clean the screen off since it was coming apart already and the screen looked dusty. Any ideas on how to put it back together? I goes back together and when I hold it everything functions, but I can't get it to stay together. Silicone? Glue? Any suggestions?
