Now you need to take apart your Gameboy. Flip it over on its front, so the back is facing up. Unscrew the six tri-wing screws. Two are at the top, two in the middle, and two at the bottom, under the batteries. Put these in a safe place.

Lift the bottom half of the case off the top one, then unscrew the three screws near the lower half of the PCB. Make sure you save these.

Once you have that done, you need to disconnect the screen. Lift both black plastic pegs toward the orange ribbon cable at the same time, then lift the cable from the connector.
