Step 1

Flip the device over so the base is facing the ceiling.
Lift up the tablet stand.
Remove the four 2 mm screws from the tablet using a T5 Torx screwdriver.

Step 2

Flip the tablet over with the screen facing upwards.
Place the suction handle in the center of the screen and slowly lift off the screen until it is at a 30 degree angle, starting by gently prying up the bottom.
Do not pull the screen beyond a 30 degree angle. Additional internal components must be disconnected first.

The eDP cable (the wider one) can tear very easily where it does a 90-degree bend. Be careful here, especially since this isn't an easy part to find.

Also, the lower right side of the screen is stuck down with adhesive. It can be pulled up, it again, be careful not to tear the eDP cable in the process
