Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the screen and the metal frame.

Insert an opening pick into the gap under the screen and the plastic bezel, not the screen itself.

[* icon_note] A [guide|10588|plastic bezel|stepid=132754|new_window=true] is secured to the underside of the display, and needs to lift up with the display. Inserting a pick between the bezel and the display will damage the panel. | |

+ | [* black] Insert an opening pick into the gap under the screen and the plastic bezel, ***not the screen itself***. |
+ | [* icon_caution] Make sure to insert the opening pick ***[https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/FL4pIZcVVsmS6Jnq.full|under the thick plastic bezel|new_window=true]*** to avoid damaging your screen. You should see a visual gap, and the pick shouldn't catch on anything. If you can't see the gap, you'll need to pull the screen up more. |
[* icon_note] The watertight adhesive holding the screen in place is very strong; creating this initial gap takes a significant amount of force. If you're having a hard time opening a gap, apply more heat, and gently rock the screen up and down to weaken the adhesive until you create enough of a gap to insert your tool. |
