1. Step 1 Before you begin
  Allow your phone's battery to drain below 25%, as a charged lithium-ion battery is a potential safety hazard.
  
  Unplug any cables from your phone.
  
  Hold the power button and either volume button, then slide to power off your phone.

3. Step 2 Tape over any cracks
  If your screen or back glass is badly cracked, lay overlapping strips of packing tape over the glass to protect yourself and make disassembly easier.
  
  Make sure there's a smooth area near the bottom edge that's big enough for a suction cup to stick to.
