- Now, proceed to the top of the motherboard, near the camera and begin releasing the tape on the left side of the device, holding the motherboard in place. Carefully pry the upper portion of the motherboard up and release the one screw underneath.
- With the phone slid closed, begin slowly prying around the motherboard to fully release it from the front screen assembly as shown in figure 3.
- You can now heat the front of the screen assembly to warm the adhesive. Use a heat gun or hair dryer on a medium setting for about 45 seconds, using quick movements around the outside edges.
- Use a safe open pry tool to pry between the touch screen digitizer and front frame, carefully releasing it from the housing. Reheat if necessary.
- Carefully release the touch screen flex cable from the back of the screen assembly and feed it through the housing to fully remove the digitizer.
- You can now replace the touch screen digitizer or LCD.
Applying Adhesive to the Touch Screen Digitizer:
Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.
