When you’re heating things up, just a little tip: the screen should still be cool enough to touch without turning your fingers into crispy critters. Keep it comfy while you work your magic!

The iSclack is a fantastic alternative to the suction cup! It requires way less muscle power to create that essential gap. So go ahead, give it a try and make your repair journey smoother!
- – Kick things off by sticking a suction cup on the bottom edge of the screen. Gently pull it upwards to create a cozy little gap between the screen and the case.
Step 5
Keep your screen opening under 180° while those delicate cables are still connected—otherwise, they might just decide to part ways!
Feel free to give that glue a little warmth with your hot air tool at regular intervals—it’ll help you peel things apart much easier. You’re on the right track!
- – Take that hard plastic plectrum and glide it all the way around the edge of the screen like a pro! While you’re at it, give it a little upward nudge to free those pesky hooked lugs of the display from the rear case.
