    • Open the case of the camera using your plastic opening tool.

    • Start on each end, working the tool into the opening and popping the casing up. Then work your way down the longer sides (top and bottom).

    • If you don’t have plastic opening tools, any flat plastic object, like a used gift card, can be used as an improvised alternative.

    • Carefully detach both ribbons by gently pulling one at a time.

    • The thinner ribbon isn't secured with a connector and you are able to pull it straight out.

    • Be sure to pull gently as you do not want to break either ribbon.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Broke my screen, bought a new one on the internet (ebay) and used this tutorial for replacement.

Good photos and every step is clear to follow
