   That's why I don't reassemble until the LEDs run an hour.  The more the screen   
   comes apart, the greater the likelihood it won't survive another attempt.     
   Look for one of the plugs not fully seated (I've done that a bunch of times).     
      
   General comments on display removal: be very careful with the bonded ribbons -   
   try not to flex them much.  If the display is held down with double sided   
   tape, make sure to carefully life the screen out. I use a heat gun (carefully)   
   to heat up each side    
   one by one, and with a small suction cup, pull up while sliding a thin plastic   
   shiv along working until the side is free.  I then put some paper towels on   
   the released side so it doesn't rebond when you move to another side.  If you   
   try to lift the    
   screen without releasing the tape, the screen WILL crack. Make sure those   
   sheets go back *exactly* as they came out.  If you get one upside or backwards   
   or out of order, it will affect the picture as at least one of the sheets is a   
   polarizer.  Make sure    
   the four corners of the display itself are safely nestled inside the frame.    
   You can use a combination of feel and magnification if necessary to make sure   
   the screen isn't sitting on the lip even by a micrometer.  If the display   
   isn't tucked properly    
   inside the frame, it WILL crack when you snap the outer mask back in place.
