First, disconnect the highlighted cables

Next, take them out of their metal clips

the display cable (one furthest to the left) does have some adhesive under it

It also helps to move the cables as far to the right or left as you can to make removing the metal plate easier.

Next, there are 7 screws holding the metal plate in place

After that, the metal plate can be lifted right up and out (just be careful to not lose any of the screws when setting it down)

At this point, it may be easier to remove the display before continuing (see slide 15 [step 11] for how to do that, and then continue)
