Remove outer metal frame
  • Start lifting the outer metal frame from the side with lifting tab. This is to avoid any scraping motion over the buffer board gold foil flex cable.

  • The corners on the lift tab side is slightly flexable. Probably need 2 pry tool on each side of the corner to release it. Be gentle as LCD glass is just under the outer metal frame. Luckily it sits in a plastic tub (see next steps pics) so should be safe from any prying tool
