-
Remove the metal handle from the suction cup. It's easier and safer to grip the suction cup's base instead of the metal handle.
-
There is a rubber gasket between the silver front bezel and black display assembly. A bit of force is required in this step to separate the iPhone's display assembly.
-
Be very careful when opening the iPhone so that the cables under the display are not severed.
-
Use a small suction cup near the Home button to gently pull up the bottom portion of the iPhone's display assembly.
-
If the display assembly is to damaged to allow the suction cup to adhere, tape with a strong adhesive such as duct tape maybe used.

Step 6

-
Ribbon cable "3" is held in place by an FPC style connector. Unlocking this connector is a must before removing the ribbon cable: use a plastic spudger to flip up the white plastic tab holding the remaining ribbon cable in place. The white tab will rotate up 90 degrees, releasing the ribbon cable.
-
Slide the black ribbon cable out of its connector, and remove the display assembly from the iPhone.
