Introduction

The display assembly is the screen that is paired with the frame of the tablet. It is the output component to present information and is made up of the glass panel. Your display may need to be replaced if the glass cracks or is broken. Your device could also experience something called “screen burn-in.” Screen burn-in is a discoloration of areas on an electronic display. Image retention on tablets can sometimes be cured by turning the device off for about an hour. If the screen on your device is cracked, follow this guide to reinforce your screen to avoid injury until you replace the display. Make sure that your device is powered off and disconnect the device from any external power source.

What you need

Step 1

              Display Assembly
  • Place an iFixit opening tool in the crease where the display assembly and back of the device meet.
  • Slide the tool firmly through the crease on one side of the device, twisting as you go to create separation.
  • When you reach the corner, carefully pry the two halves of the device apart.
  • There are small clips along the edges that need to stay intact in order to properly reassemble the device. Be very gentle when prying so as not to break the clips.
  • Repeat for the remaining three sides and corners.
