Now take a spudger, and start opening the case at the top. There are four retaining clips at each side.

Unscrew these 5 screws (length 4.3mm) . They hold the front bezel (white or black part of the main body).

There are other screws that hold the motherboard (10×, 1.8mm) to the grey back plate. You do not need to remove them, unless you want to remove the electronics board (for example to prevent damage when cleaning the back plate in a later step).

This an incredibly useful guide. I have the new screen, but I have asked and have not gotten an answer about what double-sided tape is used to attach the new screen to the body. Could someone supply this information pleasae.
Is the ED060XC5(LF)C1 screen, the same quality and matte as the original one? I don't trust asian sellers so much, but the only one that I found on internet is this one.
After installing replacement screen the touch functionallity does not work, screen itself seems to work but you cannot make any touch selections, does anyone has an idea?
