As with any electrical items, all work you carry out on SmartBench should be performed in a clean environment to avoid any debris getting into components and potentially causing damage.

We do supply these 7" Touch Screen's on our website if you would like to purchase this product directly from ourselves
Tools you will need:
-
PZ1 Screwdriver
-
2mm Hex Driver
-
4mm Spanner
First remove your console from your Smartbench and place it screen down onto a flat (preferably soft) surface ensuring that there is nothing on the surface that could scratch or damage the screen. We recommend laying it down on a microfiber cloth.
Disassembly
Once the console is removed and in a suitable position start by loosening the two PZ1 screws holding the cable strain relief clamp in place.

Now the screws are removed you will be able to lift the cable strain relief clamp out to reveal the connector.

To remove the cable simultaneously press down on the retaining clip and pull the cable out.

Next, remove the four screws with your 2mm Hex Driver.

Lift the case off the assembly.

Remove the four screws holding the black interface board on with a PZ1 screwdriver.

Unplug the two power wires from the interface board

With the four screws and the power wires removed you will be able to pull the interface board off the Raspberry Pi by disconnecting the 40 pin GPIO connector.

Disconnect the display loom from the Raspberry Pi by pulling up both sides of the locking tab then pulling the loom out.

Using a 4mm spanner or socket, remove the four M2.5 stand-offs holding the Raspberry Pi to the screen and remove the Raspberry Pi

Reassembly
Your new screen will come with a new display loom and power wires.
Connect the new display loom to the screen by pushing the loom into the connector then pushing the locking tab into place. Make sure that the contacts are facing up away from the PCB.

Connect the new power cables (red and black) to the screen PCB. BLACK goes GND and RED goes to 5V The yellow and green cables that come with your new screen are not necessary.

Re-fit the Raspberry Pi and fasten the four M2.5 stand offs.

Connect the display loom to the Raspberry Pi by pushing the loom in then pushing the locking tab down.

Connect the power wires to the interface board. RED goes to +, BLACK goes to -.

Reconnect the interface board to the Pi with the 40 pin GPIO connector. Take care to make sure all the pins are lined up before applying pressure to avoid bending the pins.

Tuck the power cables under the Raspberry Pi, this will keep them out the way and make fitting the case easier later.

Re-fit the four M2.5 screws to secure the interface board.

You can reassemble the console. Start by placing the case and back plate back over the screen and inserting the four bolts into their holes.

At this point you will need to pick the console up and gently squeeze the screen and back plate together to allow the bolts to engage.

Tighten the four bolts with your 2mm Hex Driver taking care not to over tighten them to avoid stripping the threads in the rear of the screen.
Insert the cable into the socket ensuring that it is going in straight and that it is in the correct orientation; if correct the retaining clip will be facing out towards the rear of the console.
Push the cable flat against the bottom of the housing and replace the strain relief clamp. Take care not to overtighten this as it is easy to strip the threads in the plastic housing.
