Pay particular attention to the EMI shielding inside the rear housing, shown below. The EMI shield is easily damaged when replacing modules

Lower EMI Shield

EMI tape covers the top and sides of the display panel, and the lower EMI shield covers the logic board along the bottom of the unit. The EMI tape and lower EMI shield are easily damaged when removed, and removal is necessary in order to access most components within the unit.

Should the EMI tape that seals the display, or the EMI shield covering the bottom of the enclosure (see photo below) accidentally tear, use EMI tape to repair and completely seal the unit.
