Step 9 — Metal Display Clips

During the display assembly removal process, it is highly likely that the metal clips around the perimeter of the of the display assembly will break.

To replace a broken clip, first remove the T5 Torx screw securing the broken base of the clip to the display assembly.

Place a new clip on the positioning pins molded into the display frame, and reinstall the T5 Torx screw to secure the two pieces together.

Repeat this process for any other broken clips around your display assembly.
