Disassembly - Step 1
Power off the device
Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the outside edges of the screen
Use medium heat about 2 inches from the device for about 15-30 seconds
Continuously move the heating source to insure no areas are overheated

Disassembly - Step 2
Using a plastic pry tool or nylon spudger, begin lifting the screen away from the device
Be cautions of the area marked to the left, as this is where the screen flex cable is located. Work the other 3 edges then flip the screen to the left.
