    • Work your way around the monitor, putting the flathead screwdriver into the space between the front and back covers, and prying up.

    • Twisting the screwdriver can help, but you can easily mess up the plastic without getting anything out of it by doing so. Be cautious.

    • Ideally you want to pry at the locations that have the little gaps, which are locking mechanisms.

    • You should hear a poping sound and the back cover should lift a little if you are prying at the right locations.

    • Remove the bundled cable connector that is going to the top of the monitor. Grab the black tape that holds all the individual wires together, and pull gently.

    • Be careful to pull evenly on all the wires. You can do this by pulling strait out and not at an angle. Jiggling a little bit can help, but be careful.

    • Remove the bottom foil tape from the back of the LCD.

    • Be sure to keep it. It helps dissipate static to the ground while the screen is in use. I recommend leaving the side of the tape that is sticking to the shield, where it is.

    • Remove the 4 connectors that bring power from the powerboard to the LCD.

    • The connectors have a plastic locking tab on them, and the available space make them very difficult to pull out.

    • Next step shows one way to remove them without too much trouble.

    • Insert a Flathead screwdriver into the holes on the top of the shield. Lodge the tip between the socket and the connector and slowly push the connector out of it's socket.

    • Be very careful that you are NOT pushing on the socket itself, but the connector, ideally on the locking tab.

    • The power board and logic board are inside the shield.
