Introduction

Prior to making this repair, it is important to confirm that the replacement itself is necessary. Check to make sure that no other solutions are viable. For problems such as pixel issues, inverter issues, or not being able to see color, a full replacement may be necessary.

Before beginning, make sure to completely power down the device and disconnect from any external power source.

Another PERFECT iFixIt guide!

Had to replace the screen in one of these little beauties, and this walk-through worked like all iFixIt tutorials: Flawlessly.

Kudos Mr. Barker!
