Display Removal
CAUTION The new flat panel display comes with a protective plastic sheet over
the glass. Remove this plastic very slowly to avoid damage due to ESD.
CAUTION The surface of the display is very easily scratched. Avoid touching it
with your bare hands or other objects. Use a blower to remove any dust
from the display surface.

the backlight connectors (6), and pull the cables out of the rubber
display mount. Carefully lay these cables away from the display.

front frame.
