Before starting to remove the screen, remove the strip of black tape stuck over the screen ribbon cable (right hand end in the last picture) carefully lift the connector lock on the old screen connector and remove the ribbon cable completely.

Fit this ribbon cable to the new display before fitting the screen and the feed it through the slot provided as you install.
