When it comes to handling electronics, make sure to rock an ESD-safe tool to keep your devices safe and sound. The metal spudger brings the prying power, while the trusty black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool are your go-to pals for a smooth repair journey.
– Grab a plastic opening tool or spudger and lift the screen gently once the adhesive has softened.
– Since this phone is water-resistant, trying to take apart the screen without breaking it is a no-go.

Hey there! Take a look at the upper right corner of the LCD screen. You’ll spot a connecting ribbon. Remember, handle it with care to avoid accidentally disconnecting it from the motherboard.
– If the plastic cover of your phone decides to break free from the LCD screen, no worries! Just take your trusty nylon spudger and gently pry off the LCD screen as well. You’ve got this!
