Gently pry off

CAUTION
Because the LED-type backlight circuit board
is much thinner than the board for the
electroluminescent-type, it is easy
to damage. Avoid bending or
breaking the LED-type
board.
Lift the board straight off the MLC, and set it aside
8. Orient the new backlight board in the same direction as the old board had
been (as shown below), align the connectors, screw holes, and button holes,
then gently and firmly press it into place.
