Vielen Dank für die sehr gute Anleitung. Es hat alles perfekt geklappt.
Das Display selber sitzt zum Teil aber sehr fest im Gehäuse und man muss sich überwinden etwas Kraft anzuwenden.
Sollte man zu fest ziehen (und einem das Display entgegenspringt) besteht ja die Gefahr die filigranen Kabel abzureißen.
