so i have been able to successfully disassemble/reassemble my pt2 after my mainboard got fried in a storm.
separating the screen from the back plate can be a bit daunting, especially since there are moments when the screen could bend/break when prying.
to outline, as best i can, what i found to make removing the screen easiest is to have 2-4 of these kind of pry tools: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/Hb26e538d13df...ar-Pry.jpg i recommend having several b/c one side can chew one of these up pretty bad. since i only had 2, i used a knife to clean up the pry edges between each side.
what i did was start with the "top side" where the buttons and ports are. once i was able to get it into the space between the screen and bezel, i was able to move the pry tool from corner to corner and release the tabs. from there i moved in a rotation, going to the bottom edge of the display and separating that side, then the next short side, and finally the last long side.
be patient and take your time, but you can have it done within 10-15m.
