Thank you for your efforts.

Hey, it’s been some time but as I remember you do not need to remove any screws (as per the post). You just need to unplug the screen cable.

I have replaced the screen, it’s now as easy as you explained. The double sided tape used was very hard to take out. But alas, it works now.
