Step 2
– Grab your trusty plastic opening tool and gently work it into the seam to pop off the back cover of your phone. You’re doing great!

Tools Used
Step 5
– Alright, let’s get to work! Once you’ve popped off the back cover, it’s time to disconnect these 4 important cables:
– 1. Multitouch cord. Simple and straightforward!
– 2. Display cable. There’s quite a bit of heat-dispensing tape here, so take your time. Gently peel it off and pull the cable towards the bottom of the phone.
– 3. Bottom board connector. It’s cozy under that heat-dispensing tape; carefully peel it off, pop it up just like you did with the multitouch cord. Remember, you only need to disconnect it from the main board—no need to remove the entire cord.
– 4. Antenna connectors. Just lift them up and out of the way, making sure everything stays tidy!
Step 6
– Gently slide your trusty plastic opening tool along the edge of the screen. Before you dive in, double-check that all cords are unplugged and free from any sneaky spots. Now, carefully lift the screen away from the metal frame like a pro!
