Add Note Step 2

  • 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.

  • Use a small suction cup near the Home button to gently pull up the bottom portion of the iPhone's display assembly.

  • The display assembly is still connected to the iPhone by several cables, so don't try to remove it entirely just yet.

  • Rotate the display assembly up until it is at an angle of approximately 45 degrees.

I managed this in about an hour to fix a broken "volume up button" and combined with replacing a broken ringer/mute switch. Thanks for the guide!!!

Two very minor comments to consider:

- Step 19 indicates three 1.8mm screws and one 3.8mm. In my 3G i found the middle "1.8mm screw" is actually smaller. Hopefully this helps someone who didn't notice that on the way out...

- Step 14 doesnt mention the flexible clip that is attached to the logic board and fits under the bezel on the right hand side near the dock connector end. Most people will find it anyway, but it might help those like me (who are pushing the limits of their technical skills) to note the preferred method for handling this. I just moved the logic board towards the opposite side and popped it out with a screw driver...

These are only minor points but overall i found the guide to be excellent and much easier to follow than anything else i found including you tube videos etc.
