Clean the reverse side of the replacementtouchscreen with the supplied alcoholwipe.14. Peel the backing from the 8 pieces offoam tape already adhered to the reverseside of the touchscreen. Thencut 8 pieces of equal size from the suppliedroll of 3/8” double-sided foam tape(the thinner of the two supplied 3/8”rolls) and place them (backing side facingout) on the tape already on thetouchscreen before peeling off thebacking. The double-thickness of thefoam tape will allow enough distancebetween the touchscreen and the picturetube once the new screen is inplace.15. Replace the new touchscreen over thepicture tube (with the cable on the leftif you are facing the game), making surethe screen is properly and evenlyaligned over the picture tube. Thenclean the front of the screen with thesupplied alcohol wipe.16.
