    • Before starting, make sure your laptop is completely powered off.

    • Open the laptop and position the screen to face you.

    • Carefully wedge a Jimmy between the black screen border and the silver monitor backing, and then rotate the Jimmy upwards and away from you until they separate.

    • If your screen is not cracked, there is a chance of doing so here. Perform this step with caution, control, and focus.

    • Reinsert the Jimmy and slowly twist it to begin separating the remainder of the screen.

    • Continue this along the edge until the top and two sides are fully separated.

    • Allow the top edge of the screen to rest against the keyboard.

    • There is a thin hinged bar hugging the front of the port to keep the wire housing in place. Use your nail or a thin object to lift it up and out of the way.

    • Use the hinged bar to slide the wire housing away from you and out of the port.

I tried to perform this operation, since the top cover got a scratch and a ding. I bought a replacement top cover and tried to reinstall a perfectly working screen from one cover to another. I followed this manual to step 2 and realized that top is easy, sides are much harder. On the sides with the opener tool you start to touch directly the screen glass so the “slowly twist“ move suggested in this manual would likely create cracks in it. Finally I decided not to execute this procedure since the risk of losing the screen is too high. In case you replace a broken screen - then it is ok.
