The Apple TV is a great little device, but it can be frustrating to use. The screen on your Apple TV must be replaced from time to time due to wear and tear or other issues. This article shows how to replace your Apple TV screen and includes tips so that you can do this yourself without damaging any parts!

If you have a previous version of iTunes installed on your computer, you might need to uninstall it before installing later versions.

Gather your tools and get comfortable.

- You will need a screwdriver, which you can use to remove the screws that hold your Apple TV screen in place. If you don’t have one, you can use any small flathead or Philips head screwdriver for this job.
- You should also have a dry cloth or paper towel handy to clean the screen before you put it back in place; otherwise, dust may adhere to its surface and cause problems with future operations (such as adding new content). Be sure not to damage anything while doing so!

- When unplugging cables like these ones for easy replacement purposes only—do not forget about them because they’re very easy to forget about when busy doing other things around home!”
