Introduction

Since the display acts as a barrier to the hardware, it is important to remove it before replacing other components. Due to its simplicity, this guide only requires a few steps and tools to remove the display.

Tools

Step 1

Heat up the iOpener in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Place the iOpener clear-side down on each edge of the phone for approximately 30 seconds.
Place the iOpener on top of the screen for an additional 30 seconds.
Be careful with the iOpener as it will get extremely hot.

Step 2

Attach the suction cup to the display by placing it on top of the display and pushing down on the top of the cup until it is flat.
Separate the display and the device by inserting the plastic opening tool between them and sliding the plastic opening tool along the perimeter of the display.
It is normal to hear popping noises as the plastic opening tool breaks the connection between the display and the device.
Remove the display from the device by grabbing the ring of the suction cup and pulling up.

Step 3

Remove the T4 4.0-mm screws from the latch under the display by turning the screwdriver counterclockwise.
Pull the latch off of the device by grabbing it with the tweezers and pulling up.

Step 4

Remove the connector underneath the latch by grabbing it with the tweezers and lifting up.
It is normal to hear a popping noise during this step.
When reassembling, simply use your finger to pop this piece back into place by pushing it down into the device.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
