  • To open device use spudger/Credit card. Begin opening by freeing the right side, starting either the upper right or lower right side.

  • The screen is held on by 2.5mm of adhesive throughout, Check out third picture with the screen removed to see adhesive strips.

  • Watch out for backlight and data cable located in upper left behind screen.

  • Run spudger/card through Right Side, Top Side and Bottom side. After you have cleared these, pry screen open with the left side acting like a hinge..

  • With the device partially open, 3 Connections need to be removed. Remove the ribbon cables by pulling up on the black bar from the opposite side, this frees the ribbon cable.

  • From top to bottom the cables are backlight, screen, & touch. Pretty cool to see the display locked on last image after you remove the screen cable. Consider converting to art hanged e-ink display before junking in the future :)

  • After removing 3 ribbon cables, partially close screen and finish freeing the last left side of the screen from the adhesive strip. After free screen will pull off.
