Step 1
First things first, make sure your phone is completely powered down before diving into the disassembly. Safety first, right?
Feel free to use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate to warm things up, but keep a close eye on the heat—those screens, batteries, and plastic backs can be a bit sensitive to the hot stuff. Let’s keep your device happy!
– Warm up an iOpener and place it on the left side of the back cover for about a minute.

Depending on the age of your phone, this might be a bit tricky. Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Just apply a little more heat to the edge and give it another go. If you’re still having trouble, you can always schedule a repair.
– Get ready to rock this repair! First, place a suction cup on the warmed-up edge of the back cover, right near the edge.
– Now, give that suction cup a good pull! You want to create a little space between the back cover and the frame. Get ready to slip in your trusty opening pick!
– Slide that opening pick into the gap you just created. You’re almost there!

Alright, champ! As you’re carefully cutting through the adhesive, don’t go too deep with that pick. Keep it under 5 mm to avoid a trip to the hospital for those delicate internal bits. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
– Slide the opening pick along the left edge, like you’re giving the adhesive a little high-five, towards the bottom left corner. Keep sliding until you feel a little satisfying click.
– Leave the pick in the bottom left corner – it’s like a little party favor for the adhesive, keeping it from sticking back together.
