HP ElitePad 900 Home Button Replacement

Several of the clips that hold the screen in appear to be spring loaded and magnetic. I theorize that the official replacement tool contains magnets that pushes those clips back toward the center of the screen, releasing them. I’m wondering if the same thing could be accomplished with the proper end of a bar magnet. I do know that if you lay the removed screen down on the 6 little screws that hold the battery in, you will have a devil of a time finding them stuck to one of the clips. At least the floor of the shop got a good sweeping. ;^)
