1. Remove the 4 corner buttons & the bumpers. The buttons pop right out if you use something thin, like a tiny screwdriver, to lift them out at the inner edges.

2. unscrew the screws under each button, and unscrew the 2 screws on the plate behind the screen, above the keyboard.

3. gently pry the case apart. the top comes apart easily but the bottom requires a slight bit of force. Don't rip it apart though, the bottom edge is somewhat delicate.

4. The screen should now come off of the top part, and you should be able to put the working screen in its place.

5. retrace your steps & put the whole mess back together.

6. Enjoy.

I'm kinda tired right now so I may have missed a step. If you encounter anything that I didn't describe here, PM me. Oh- this will hard reset your device BTW, but if you've ever had to hard reset before you know that everything will come back in a few minutes.
