You may need to pry off the window plate of your old screen if the new screen doesn't have one.

If required: Remove the window plate from your old screen if your new LCD doesn't have one. Save this part for re-install.

If your new LCD does not come with a window plate: Tape your old window plate in place as shown in the photo. Make sure it lines up properly and fits into the grooves. This makes re-assembly much easier.

If necessary clean the window plate and LCD with a micro fiber dry cloth. Make sure there is no debris or dust before you re-install. DO NOT use any liquids.

Now just reverse the steps to re-assemble your camera with the new screen.
