Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 4 Steps
Hey there, repair enthusiast! Just a friendly reminder: make sure to power down your device before diving in. Safety first! If things get tricky, don’t hesitate to schedule a repair. We’ve got your back!
Get ready to warm things up! Follow these steps to use a heat gun and make that stubborn adhesive a bit more pliable. If you prefer, a hair dryer works too, but the steps are a tad different. A heat gun is like a magic wand that blows out hot air, usually between 100 °C and 550 °C (200-1000 °F), and some fancy models can reach a toasty 760 °C (1400 °F). Before you dive in, check out the specific repair guide for all the juicy details, like where the adhesive is hiding and what sensitive components you need to watch out for. Don’t forget to peek at your heat gun’s user manual for any special instructions or safety tips!
Step 1
Before you dive in, it’s a smart move to have a fire escape plan just in case things get a little too toasty.
If you’re warming up some adhesive near or under a battery, make sure that battery is as empty as your phone’s memory after a big update!
Always remember to keep that heat gun unplugged when it’s not in action. Safety first, folks!
