Introduction
If the screen on your OnePlus 6 is cracked, shattered, or otherwise damaged, this guide will demonstrate how to replace it and get your phone back to its former glory.
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.
Discharge your battery to at least 25% capacity and turn off your device before beginning.

Works great, thank you very much. I changed the microphone with this instruction.

If you have a glass back cover, be careful not to pull too much or it may crack. It's better if you keep heating the area before trying to get in with the opening picks, specially around the corners.

I was using a hairdryer on 2/3 heat level and my phone was very hot to the touch and it still wouldn't budge a millimeter to get the plastic tools in. Any advice? I'm not sure heating it more is safe for the rest of the phone, so I'm not sure what else to do.
