What you need

Place the iOpener in the microwave and heat it for one minute on the highest power setting.

Lay the iOpener over the plastic tab to loosen the adhesive. Let the bag sit on the device for approximately 90 seconds before attempting to open the panel.

Use a plastic opening tool to pull the rear plastic cover away from the device until there is enough room to insert a spudger.

Insert a spudger under the cover, then pry it up and away from the device.

Remove the rear plastic cover from the iPod.

Insert a plastic opening tool into the seam between the white plastic front panel and the rear case.

Slide the opening tool along the edge of the front panel to free it from clips and adhesive.

Use a metal spudger to carefully pry near the Lightning connector and under all parts of the front panel assembly: the front glass/digitizer, the LCD display and the metal midframe.

-
-
Continue prying along the edges under the front panel assembly, releasing the clips and adhesive along the sides of the device.

Insert a spudger under the metal midframe and display on the left side of the home button.

Rotate the spudger around the home button and across the front panel, releasing the adhesive holding the display in place.

Once all of the adhesive has been released, gently separate the display assembly from the front glass/digitizer.

Remove the six (three on each side) 1.5 mm Phillips #000 screws securing the metal midframe to the display.
