      • Insert the plastic opening tool into the seam near the corner of the device.

      • Slowly slide the tool around the perimeter of the device, gradually prying up the screen.

      • It is normal to hear snaps as the spring clips holding the screen in place are released.

      • It is also normal to hear adhesive separating, as a small amount is used to help secure the screen.

      • When the screen is free of all spring clips and adhesive, slowly open the device like a clam shell with the hinge being the left hand side of the device.

      • Do not completely separate the screen from the case by more than a few inches, as they are still connected by three orange ribbon cables.

      • Safely place the device back on the table by laying the screen face down.

      • There will be some slight overlapping of the back of the case over the screen.

      • Gently remove the chip with a pair of precision tweezers by grabbing the chip from one side, being careful not to pinch on a black piece of hardware on the chip.
