Using the Phillips #1 screwdriver, remove the 3 screws shown in the picture.
It’s not mentioned here, but be sure to unplug the LCD flex cable at the top of the motherboard before removing the motherboard. To do so, gently press the clips on either side of the receptacle toward the top of the Game Boy. When they are both pressed up, the orange cable will slide freely out
Thanks Ben. That's a very good point. Just ripping it out will cost you a couple bucks, not to mention your Gameboy will not work until you replace that ribbon cable.

Gently pry and lift the LCD Display from the front panel.
if there is any adhesive, you can take off the foam, then put 90% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) on it, and it will loosen the adhesive on the screen display, making it easier to take it off.
Pretty sure you need to take the front cover off first?

Horrible instructions, TBH.
Broke the plastic around the screen and doesn't turn on anymore -_- . Guess now I can put a backlit in but not how I wanted it to go
Same thing happened to me, but its not really an issue. The way I see it, this is an article for replacing the screen, so it doesnt much matter if the one you’re taking out is broken.
These instructions are top tier. Replacing a screen is not normally a quality of life upgrade decision. It is because the original is damaged or defective. The comments above are misleading. There is a plastic plexiglass thin protective film on all gameboys. If you have a spudger or thin guitar pick of the same plastic consistency then you can slowly slowly slowly weaken the GLUE holding down the plastic screen and then yes you can push the OG LCD screen out without prying. But you will need replacement glue strips to reapply the plexiglass window. That is if it didn’t bend an crease at any point. If it is no longer flat it will not fit properly and will need factory part replacement. Also canned air for dust an dirt. Along with isopropyl alcohol and some medical grade Q-tips. Regular tips can work but the cotton ends must be tight and free of stray fibers. iFixit is the leading publisher and will ALWAYS be first stop before confirming via a second outlet. This is what any mechanic or tradesman would do.
I would like to also add that following these steps damaged part of my LCD underneath the glass. Its easier to get rubbing alcohol and something thin like a sludger or tweezers. Put on the rubbing alcohol around the front of the screen and on your prying tool and gently lift off the plastic cover and then you can gently push out the screen. The plastic cover can easily be reattached with super glue or double sided cellphone seal tape.
