After removing the screws, use a metal spudger or plastic opening tool to push the back cover out.
The metal spudger can damage the plastic housing, so use caution when applying any pressure to it. Use a plastic opening tool to reduce the risk of damage to the housing.
Remove the back housing of the camera by lifting it directly up.
The back cover may be slightly tight, therefore more force may be needed to lift it up.

Note:

There are 3 locking cam-lugs along the top edge of the back plate. These slot over the top of matching very delicate moulded catches. Carefully lift and lever this top edge first.

Insert the tips of your fingers into the space between the screen and back-plate.
Gently lift the screen up and out of the frame.
The screen is still held by a flexible display cable, therefore only lift the screen 0.5'' out of the back-plate.

The display cable has a ZIF (zero insertion force) connector on the end. This has a tab that has to be pushed out before the cable can be safely removed.
Using a plastic opening tool or fingernail, pop up the black clip holding the display cable. This will release the cable.
Slide the display cable out of the connector.
The display cable can be damaged due to excessive bending, therefore avoid putting unnecessary strain on it.
