Step 1

- First things first, let’s keep your iPhone safe! Power it down completely to dodge any pesky short circuits. Just press that standby button for about three seconds until you see the 'Turn off' slider pop up on your screen.

- Now, give that slider a gentle swipe from left to right and hang tight until your iPhone is fully powered down. You're doing great!

Step 2

- Loosen the two Pentalobe screws on either side of the Lightning Connector and stash them away safely in your screw storage. You've got this!

Step 3

- First, let's set the stage for success! Place your iPhone 8 on a soft, clean surface to keep it scratch-free while you lift the display.

- Next, grab a hot air tool, whether it's a heat gun or a trusty hairdryer, and give the outside of the display a nice, even warm-up. You're on the right track!

Tools Used
  1. Heat gun

Step 4

- Stick a suction cup on the display just above the Home button and give it a gentle tug upwards. This will create a tiny gap between the aluminum and display frames – you're doing awesome!

- Now, grab a flat plastic tool and slide it into that narrow gap you just made. Use it to nudge the aluminum frame upwards a bit. Flat plastic picks work wonders for this task!

Step 5

- With a gentle touch, push the display upwards using your trusty plectrum to pop those lugs free from the aluminum frame. You're doing fantastic!

- Next, swing the display open towards the standby button. Lean it against something sturdy to keep those flexible cables from overstretching. You've got this!
