    • To separate the cover, carefully lift it up and away from the hinges (in order to clear the headphone port), then pivot it towards the hinges to expose the circuit boards.

    • Don't fully remove the cover yet, or you may damage the delicate ribbon cable that still connects it to the motherboard.

    • Using tweezers, gently pull the five marked ribbons out of the ZIF connectors along the sides of the motherboard.

    • These ZIF connectors are held in place by friction and do not have locks—lifting the flaps on these connectors will break them! Note that in some models the upper-most connector may have a lock.

    • Three of the ribbon connectors have plastic clamping flaps that cover the ribbon to prevent slippage. Use the tweezers to flip them up before ribbon removal.

    • When reassembling the device, be sure to flip the ZIF clamps back down.

    • While the SD card reader is shown as removed in this photo, it is optional for the removal of the motherboard.

    • Carefully pivot the motherboard 90 degrees toward the hinges to reveal two more ZIF connectors on the underside of the motherboard.

    • Both have latches that must be flipped up. The left, longer latch is black; the right, shorter one is white. Flip up the flaps, slide the ribbons out and remove the motherboard.

    • Note which way the ribbons slide into their connectors carefully, as they are different.

    • From the hinge, slide the outer portion of the top shell so that it separates from the inner portion.

    • This step was edited recently because the previous version was risky. It told people to use a spudger and slide it around the edges. DO NOT DO THIS!!! It will snap tabs off!

    • The casing will become loose, and just lift the casing off.

    • Once it is loose, just lift.

I am lost, where is the rest of the guide?

Jo Jones - Contestar

Is it possible we could get a link to a screen replacement?

Rupin Soland - Contestar

Almost every guide on the internet skips over getting ribbon-cable through the hinge…

Devin Shrhs - Contestar

and its the step that gets messed up the most so that may be why since you have to roll up the ribbon to get it through the hinge giving it a good chance of breaking the ribbon. Sucks because the only way to tell is to hook it all back up to see if it worked.

Jacob -

This guide is WORTHLESS - it’s ''cut-out in the middle'' at step 19 and in the most important part (ribbons)!!! I’ll make my own guide (possibly this year) This is a joke…
