Might want to use the spudger tool to pry the screen up. We had difficulty using the pry tool. to pull up the screen.
display is held to the base by 3 magnetized tips on the right edge and 4 on the bottom edge (charging port) of the display. the ones on the right are at the center and at each corner before the display curves. on the bottom edge, 2 are at the corners and the other 2 are 1.5” inward. the top and left edges are friction tips. prying along the edges releases the magnetic tips from the base.

Release the zero insertion force (ZIF) connector to which the TouchScreen cable is attached, and then disconnect the TouchScreen cable from the system board.
Need to Add the spudger tool and differentiate between the black spudger tool and the blue plastic pry tool.
When disconnecting the cables we found that the wording “ push the tab” was confusing. We had to pull up the black tab for the ribbon cables to disconnect.
i didn’t know what a spudger tool was but didn’t find any black tab to push or pull. both of my cables were taped on the bottom and top. they also had adhesive on the bottoms. i removed the tape, gently lifted the cables away from the silver cover the were stuck to and pulled the cables out from their zif sockets.
i figured out how the zif sockets work and am correcting my previous comment. on my unit, the zif sockets are black and the release levers are white. i “opened” the zif sockets by flipping up the white edges that were furthest from the cables. i removed the tape, gently lifted the cables away from the silver cover they were stuck to and pulled the cables out of the zif sockets.
