Introduction

In this guide, you will learn how to replace the digitizer on your LG Ultimate 2. This is going to require you to use a plastic spudger to loosen the screen, your hands to pull the screen off, and a screwdriver to unscrew the screen from the rest of the phone. You need to be careful when removing the screen as it is attached to a data cable that could sustain damage.

Use a plastic opening tool or fingernail to separate the zip connector.
The zip connector does not detach completely from the phone, but acts as a flap.

Step 7

Insert the plastic opening tool between the screen and the base. This may be difficult because of the adhesive, but enough leverage should force an opening.

Step 8

Continue moving the plastic opening tool along the edge of the screen, separating the pieces from the adhesive.
A hair dryer might be useful to help melt the adhesive.
