Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This prerequisite guide for the One Education: Infinity showcases the process of disconnecting the display assembly from the upper portion of the hinge mechanism for removal.
Additionally, note that this guide has the user remove the battery prior to disassembling the upper case to prevent any electrical damage while disconnecting the display cables.
