B&N Nook Glowlight Plus 2015 Teardown

Step Type:

Drag to rearrange

To open device use spudger/Credit card. Begin opening by freeing the right side, starting either the upper right or lower right side.

The screen is held on by 2.5mm of adhesive throughout, Check out third picture with the screen removed to see adhesive strips.

Watch out for backlight and data cable located in upper left behind screen.

Run spudger/card through Right Side, Top Side and Bottom side. After you have cleared these, pry screen open with the left side acting like a hinge..

With the device partially open, 3 Connections need to be removed. Remove the ribbon cables by pulling up on the black bar from the opposite side, this frees the ribbon cable.

From top to bottom the cables are backlight, screen, & touch. Pretty cool to see the display locked on last image after you remove the screen cable. Consider converting to art hanged e-ink display before junking in the future :)

After removing 3 ribbon cables, partially close screen and finish freeing the last left side of the screen from the adhesive strip. After free screen will pull off.
