Now gently separate the metal bezel from the main body of the LCD panel

Lay the LCD panel down on with viewing side UP and remove the metal bezel

Make sure you are careful when removing the bezel from the TOP edge as you will be exposing the 8 flex cables mentioned in step 1.

Note the 3 flex tabs on the left edge

Do not damage any of the tabs or flex cables as these are the Row and Column Drivers. Damage to these will will cause faults like vertical/horizontal lines or white screen etc.

WARNING - Once the bezel is removed the LCD is LOOSE in the black plastic frame - only held in by the small gasket underneath.
