Introduction

This simple five-step guide will show you how to replace your Element GC-1020's display.

  1. BNHUEhkppHt1nTow

    • Unscrew the four screws (size: 3.175mm) on the left and right side of the Element Electronics GC-1020 device using the PH#0 screwdriver.

  2. UO2RFBnNFqVwXmhh

    • Carefully pull the back of the device (the silver portion) apart from the rest of the device.

    • If you pull back too forcefully the power button would move out of place.

    • Unscrew the visible Philips head screws (size: 3.968 mm) on the motherboard located on the top of left and right sides. Use a PH #0 sized screw driver head for removal.

    • Carefully bend the plastic frame to remove the motherboard.

    • Upon doing this make sure your power button on the bottom left side stays attached to the outer frame because it will loosen as the motherboard is moved upwards.

    • The display is attached to a dark yellow, flimsy, plastic material. This material is then attached to the motherboard. Tear off the plastic, successfully detaching the motherboard and display from each other.
