  1. HP TouchPad LCD Replacement, Front Panel Assembly: passo 1, imagem 1 %32
    • In the following steps, you will use a metal spudger to lift the front panel out from the rear case of your TouchPad.

    • The front panel is held in by seven clips (boxed in red) that are lightly anchored to the rear case. When you remove the front panel assembly, you are bound to break either the clips or their supports attached to the rear case. We will update this guide as we find replacement parts or a better method to remove the panel.

    • As you remove the front panel assembly, also be careful not to damage the ambient light sensor (boxed in yellow) or the two antennas (boxed in orange).

    Beware of the ribbon cable right beneath the volume rocker, as it's easy to shear that cable if you are too rough with the metal spudger.

    I wasn’t happy with using a metal spudger as it felt a bit forceful, as I have a bulk pack of opening tools I tried using them instead.

    I may have been lucky, but by using those tools instead with the angled lip facing inwards at points adjacent to where the mounting clips are located according to the above image (like this, https://i.imgur.com/dylp6BG.jpg ), I managed to open the unit without breaking a clip or scratching the plastic back panel by bending the outside of the panel enough to pop the lcd panel.

    • Insert a flat metal spudger in the gap between the rubber outer ring on the front panel assembly and the black plastic rear case near the USB connector.

    • Pry the front panel assembly up from the rear case, being careful not to damage the LCD or the glass panel.

    • As you work through the following steps, insert your metal spudger and pry the front panel up, but do not try to slide the spudger along the gap you're creating. Always remove your spudger, then insert it at another spot and pry upward.

    • Use the attached black tab to pull the display data cable straight up and out of its socket on the motherboard.

    • Pull the cable upwards and not parallel to the face of the motherboard. Doing otherwise may damage the socket on the motherboard.

    • Take care not to pull on the ribbon that is stuck by adhesive to the bottom of cable you are detaching. It does not need to be disconnected.

    The ribbon can be adhered to other parts placed under it. You'll have to separate them tighly so you don't damage the ribbon.

This was an especially easy and very helpful guide.... If anyone finds out where to get the HP Touchpad plastic retainer clips (which break very easily as it turns out) please let me know here or at gskdesigns@gmail.com.

Great Guide!
