| Step 1 Removing The Face Plate. Step 2 Removing The Button Bar.  | Insert your small screwdriver tip under the lip of the left side of the button bar and slide upwards until the bar is disconnected from the metal LCD housing.. NOTE: DO NOT LOOSE THE RUBBER CONTACT FOR THE THUMB STICK!!!! |  | Then carefully unplug the button bars flex cable. By lifting the tab upwards and sliding the cable out. | Step 3 Removing The LCD. | | The flex cable connectors are quite week and require extra care. so don't force to hard or you could have a very nice looking Door Jam. |  | On the left side of the LCD screen there is a metal bracket lip that is holding the LCD in place. You need to unhook the left side of the LCD from this housing by sliding a small flat screwdriver in between the LCD housing and the LCD mounting bracket. slowly popping the tabs for the LCD to come out. |  | Slowly pull the other side out and then tilt the LCD at a 90◦ bend so you have access to the flex cable connectors. |  | Lift up the clamps on the connectors, the brown clips are the only part that will lift up, any more pressure and you could remove the whole clip... |  | I recommend putting the LCD back onto of the faceplate. so that dust and other debris don't fall onto your screen and window. DO NOT WIPE YOUR WINDOW JUST YET, it is very easy to scratch the inside of the faceplate, if there is excessive dust try blowing it out with your can of air, or use the very soft and clean wiping cloth, A micro fiber rag has too many " Micro Fibers" and actually scratches the screen worse. | Step 4 Removing The LCD Brace.
