What you need
-
-
Take the battery sticker/phone info off. Remove all visible screws from the back.

Place the sticker aside and save it for when you are done. It has important phone information that you do not want to lose.

Use the pry tool to pop out the plastic backing component, taking care not to go too deep. Its a lot easier to get out when you start from the bottom left or right.

-
Take the 2 screws out on the board.
-
Lift the lock on the two ribbon holders that are for the screen.

Start at the left or right bottom edge, and try to gain as much leverage to the entire sub-panel assembly (digitizer and screen) as possible, the end result will be messy, but your goal is to minimize the mess.

YOU WILL CRACK THE SCREEN.
-
Make sure to clean up any stray bits, they will crack your new screen if you leave anything behind.
-
Do a dry run and practice fitting all the cables through the slots and around the board to the back. Once you feel confident, apply the tape/adhesive that the screen should have come with .
