Before you install your new front panel, you'll need to transfer the smart cover magnets on your OLD front panel to your new front panel.

Place the edge of a plastic opening tool on each side of the magnet near the top left corner of the front panel assembly.

Carefully wedge the edge of the right plastic opening tool underneath the magnet.

Steadily hold the right plastic opening tool in place.

Wedge the left plastic opening tool underneath the magnet and simultaneously pry and push it towards the right plastic opening tool.

This will require some force as the smart cover magnet is held in place with strong adhesive.
