    • Place a suction cup firmly onto a corner of the screen.

    • Lift up gently until you see the screen separate from the casing.

    • Repeat this process for all four corners.

To counteract this, lift the edge up, place the suction cup further inwards on the screen and pull it slightly upwards while pressing the edge of the screen downwards. The edge should snap correctly into the housing.
