    • 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.

    • During reassembly, certain clips/edges may not snap into place properly even with a lot of force. 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.

Vielen Dank für die sehr gute Anleitung. Es hat alles perfekt geklappt.

Das Display selber sitzt zum Teil aber sehr fest im Gehäuse und man muss sich überwinden etwas Kraft anzuwenden.

Sollte man zu fest ziehen (und einem das Display entgegenspringt) besteht ja die Gefahr die filigranen Kabel abzureißen.

Mein Lüfter läuft ständig. Sollte die Wärmeleitpaste eingetrocknet sein?
