First, remove and discard the metal tape in
yellow rectangles in the image below. Then use the blade cutter to carefully cut along the
red lines. Finally, remove four T10 screws marked with small
orange arrows. (Just slightly move the 'metal sponge' out of the way to access the upper right one.)
Flip the display and note the alignment of the neodymium magnets with the edge of the metal frame. (I'll explain the relevance later...)
Now we'll have to remove the two brackets with the magnets. Those are not only held in place by the screws we just removed, but also by some strong glue. Carefully force those brackets away from the display frame. If the spudger won't do, use that flat end screwdriver.
Once the glue is defeated, remove those brackets and put them aside. (Simply cut along the black tape with the blade cutter if it still sticks to the bracket.)
Remember the position of the 'metal sponge' at the bottom of the display. Remove it carefully and set it aside.
Remove the black and transparent tape at the sides and the bottom of the display. Discard that removed tape.
Now, we'll actually lift the frame of the display. Prepare a wide cardboard box for that frame to rest against. Using a spudger, carefully unsnap the metal frame from plastic/metal holders (5 at the bottom, 2 on each side).
Once all of those are unsnapped, flip the display, lift the frame and rest it against that cardboard box.
Use tweezers and carefully unglue the metal tape - only the part attached to the LCD panel (
blue arrow). Use the spudger to carefully lift the LCD panel itself. Just lift one of the bottom corners, then carefully rest it against the lifted frame.
N.b.: There are 6 fragile ribbon cables at the top, connecting the panel to the T-CON board. Do not break these!
In the image below you can see the fine dust in the location the ghosting occurred at this particular display.
