    • Pull the screen from the front panel using your hands to fully remove it.

    . I bought the replacement display, ebay, same number, in London, I am in Mexico, and the screen does not have the 4 mounting ears, even my xe500c21 brings them in another position. so put it in, not having read this manual do not remove the battery, but at least turn it off. And that's it, now all the previous display, with a straight clamp I bend and break the ears, I lower them to make them narrow, bend a little, screw them, protrude in a thickness of sheet but fix it, another solution would be silicone.
