In order to seperate the screen from the motherboard you must disconnect the ribbon attached to the screen.
-
To do this, using tweezers, flip up the cable clamp that is connecting the ribbon to the screen.
-
Once the clamp is up you can use the tweezers to gently detach the ribbon.
-
-
-
-
Now you must flip up the adjacent clamp as well, using tweezers like before.
-
After the clamp is flipped you can gently remove the second ribbon with tweezers.
-

-
Before removing the screen you must detach one more wire, the battery connector.
-
Using the tweezers, squeeze the connector attached to the wire and genlty pull.

-
Now that both ribbons and the wire are disconeccted, you can apply a downward pressure to the battery. You will have to carefully rotate the frame so that the battery can go through.
