Replacing a screen is a relatively uncomplicated task. To do this, you will need a standard #1 screwdriver and something to hold screws in (in a pinch, parts taken off the XO can serve as temporary screw holders).

Next, remove the screws circled in blue from the bottom of the screen. There are two on each side (right/left) of the XO, so make sure to get all four.

Next, carefully slide the screen out, pulling the bottom out. Do not tug it or let go, as it will still be connected to the motherboard by two cables.

Lift up the plastic latches and gently pull out the cables. This will allow you to pull out the screen.
