    • In the following steps, you will use a metal spudger to lift the front panel out from the rear case of your TouchPad.

    • The front panel is held in by seven clips (boxed in red) that are lightly anchored to the rear case. When you remove the front panel assembly, you are bound to break either the clips or their supports attached to the rear case. We will update this guide as we find replacement parts or a better method to remove the panel.

    • As you remove the front panel assembly, also be careful not to damage the ambient light sensor (boxed in yellow) or the two antennas (boxed in orange).

    • Insert a flat metal spudger in the gap between the rubber outer ring on the front panel assembly and the black plastic rear case near the USB connector.

    • Pry the front panel assembly up from the rear case, being careful not to damage the LCD or the glass panel.

    • As you work through the following steps, insert your metal spudger and pry the front panel up, but do not try to slide the spudger along the gap you're creating. Always remove your spudger, then insert it at another spot and pry upward.

I took my Touchpad apart to fix a problem with the USB connector. It is worth mentioning that it is possible to remove the front panel without breaking any clips or causing any damage. You will just need to use a second spudger to "release" the connectors from the front panel, instead of just prying the panel up like the guide says. (Wish I could give more detail, but my edits to the panel guide didn't make the cut. Maybe one of the Ifixit mods could explain it better.)

I also have tried this, what you do is use one tool to pry open the side so you can see a gap and the clips. Then with a second tool you un-clip the clips from the screen by putting a the second tool between the clips and the screen releasing it without any damage. They are a clip attached to the back case and the plastic acts like a sprig to keep the clips attached to the screen panel.

Thank You

Step 9 says, "Use your fingernail to carefully flip up the retaining flaps on the two digitizer ribbon cable ZIF sockets." That's what I did, but I found it impossible to reconnect the ribbon cables until I took out the board the sockets are on. Even then it was very difficult to reattach the ribbon cables. I recommend leaving them in place and removing the board - which is only held by two screws and a small ribbon connector.
