    I have 2 note 2 phones model #: SGH-I317M. I have a broken screen that does not display in my note 2 but my brother's note 2 is working perfectly. Can I either transfer the motherboard in MY note 2 to my brothers note 2 or swap the broken screen with the new screen in my brother's note 2 ? Thanks. Reach me at anmac1789@gmail.com

    • Insert your plastic opening tool between the midframe and front panel assembly on the side of the phone.

    • Slide the plastic opening tool down the seam.

    I didn't have an opening tool, so I used a stiff guitar pick. Worked like a charm.

    for best result without any scratches or breaking frame, open the frame on table (solid), don't open on hand.

    The screen cracked using that plastic tool.

    • Free the clips along the power button side of the phone.

    • Lastly, free the two clips along the top and bottom edge of battery compartment.

    Start with the top clip. You can see it located next to the three battery connectors. Insert the spludge from the side gently to push, the clip should go off.

    Once this clip is off, the bottom battery clip can be unclipped simply by gently moving the two pieces apart.

    If you're primarily following the pictures, as I was, you might be frustrated that your display assembly isn't popping off. Unfortunately, a vital step was listed in the instructions but not photographed:

    "Lastly, there are two clips along the top and bottom edge of battery compartment that also hold the display assembly in place."

    • Lift the display assembly out of the midframe.

    unblock the edge at the middle-up of the battery compart!
