I would advise you not to use this guide. Specifically, following step 15 will result in damage to your display bezel and/or the display housing. The LCD/touch screen assembly slides down to release it from the latches holding it in place. If you simply pry it apart without sliding it down, you will break the retainers that hold it together.
I found this out the hard way, by following this guide. I'm in the process of rewriting the entire guide with the correct procedure for removing the screen assembly from the housing, which should be done soon. When it's complete, the "In Progress" flag will be removed.
The new guide is complete. Please, for the sake of your display, use it instead of this one.
