• When you remove this screw, make sure that the shield plate on top of the bracket plate, is just slightly pushed out of the way. This will free the bracket plate.
• After the removal of the bracket plate, you have access to the connector. Move the white clip gently to the lift (upright) position, to free the cable.
• The LCD should now easily separate from the logic board.

• Use caution and patience so as to not cut the cable on the bracket unit.
• After reassembly, you should hopefully have the same result as I did. Total cost $8.00 for the camera, $15.00 for the LCD and one hour of my time…
