Once the screen is warm to the touch, apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the screen.

If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

Lift the screen including its safety frame with the suction handle to create a small gap between the screen and the phone assembly.

Depending on the age of your phone, this may be difficult. If you're having trouble, apply more heat to the bottom edge and try again.

Insert an opening pick into the gap.
