Remove the 8.6 mm Phillips screw securing the antenna/camera cable retainer to the top left portion of the upper case.
Remove the antenna/camera cable retainer from the upper case.
Check your new part: The antenna cable and plate attached to the upper case may need to be transferred. Take care peeling the metal plate off, an adhesive is used to hold it in place.
Be sure to hold the display and upper case together with your left hand. Failure to do so may cause the freed display/upper case to fall, potentially damaging each component.
Remove the last remaining T6 Torx screw securing the display to the upper case.
Grab the upper case with your right hand and rotate it slightly toward the top of the display so the upper display bracket clears the edge of the upper case.
Rotate the display slightly away from the upper case.
Lift the display up and away from the upper case, minding any brackets or cables that may get caught.
Before proceeding, check if your replacement upper case comes with the battery level indicator installed. If not, you'll need to transfer the battery level indicator to your new upper case.
If your replacement includes the battery level indicator, stop here.
Remove three 2.0 mm Phillips #00 screws securing the battery level indicator to the upper case.
The battery level indicator cable is lightly adhered to the upper case—use a combination of the flat end of your spudger and gentle peeling to remove it.
Be careful not to snag the battery level indicator cable on the metal shield.
