    • Turn the device over so the screen is facing you.

    • Place a suction cup firmly onto a corner of the screen.

    • Lift up gently until you see the screen separate from the casing.

    • Repeat this process for all four corners.

    • During reassembly, certain clips/edges may not snap into place properly even with a lot of force. To counteract this, lift the edge up, place the suction cup further inwards on the screen and pull it slightly upwards while pressing the edge of the screen downwards. The edge should snap correctly into the housing.

I replaced my screen and upon turning the device on I have a black screen. Already made sure connections are all attached correctly. Tried hard reset with power and volume button down for 15 seconds. A bad new screen? Any other ideas?
