Step 1 Display Assembly

• Use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the front edges of the phone for about two minutes. Stay approximately six inches away from the screen to prevent phone damage.
• Do not apply heat to any one edge of the phone for longer than a few seconds. Instead, use a continuous motion around the phone's edges.

• While the screen adhesive is still warm and flexible, insert a pry tool or plastic card between the glass display and the frame of the phone.
• Slowly slide another pry tool around all the edges of the phone in order to break the adhesive's bond to the display.
• When using the pry tool, do not use too much force or the phone's internals could be damaged.
• Do not insert your tool more than 1cm into the top edge of the phone to avoid damaging the fragile cables.
