Wow, no - didn't even see those! I'll be home in a little while to check it out. Thanks for pointing those out!

I didn't see those either. That would explain why the back cover wasn't coming off.

You need about 5 hands to do this job with all the clips to be disengaged simultaneously.

There are 4 tabs on each corner of the socket. We have 3 sockets and 12 tabs altogether. How can I possibly push 12 tabs all at once? Are any tools for this job? Otherwise, I have to break all the tabs in order to remove the back of cluster. Any suggestions?

The Answer is making two credit card strips use as tool. Insert credit card strips on each side of socket and bending outward, in the mean time, push center of the socket. I start black socket first. It works.

You can use credit card strips to help remove back of the cluster. Two fingers to pry the side of socket and one finger to push center of the socket.

I am unlucky to have a corner break off due to manufacture initial hard screw down.

When you remove back of the cluster, you do not need to loose two black tabs.

Over all it is unsuccessful for me since I am still having missing pixels. I think the corner break off is the reason. I may have to replace the entire cable or I may just ask for professional help via ebay repair service.

this is why I'm paying the 140 to get mine fixed by one of the pros on ebay with a warranty, I would be that guy to attempt repair myself and screw it up.
