    • Using tweezers, gently pull up and away on the ribbon cable connected to the motherboard, after which, the LCD screen should come off.

    • The motherboard ribbon cable has a specific connector.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. However, when installing the ribbon cable, the connector has a specific step. The connector has a tiny flap that clamps down onto the ribbon cable in order to make it secure.

Sir, my unit has many lines that appear on the screen. However, the lcd glass is pristine & has no cracks. Which part is defective? Is the lcd mother board the culprit? Thank you.
