    • This specific device's ribbon cable is torn.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to unlatch the screen from its case.

    • We recommend starting on the side with the gold ribbon cable as the latches are more tricky.

    • Unlatch the screen corner by corner instead of an entire side at one time.

    • The tearing sound is the adhesive holding the screen to the case. It will re-stick when you put the screen together.
