Step 2



• Using a pick or slim plastic tool, work around the edge of the frame to loosen the glass.
• Watch out for the ear speaker, camera and light sensor on the top of the phone.
• When working the glass free around the bottom of the phone, slide the tool out to avoid damaging the left and right home buttons (as shown in picture 2).
• NOTE: The LCD is also glued to the frame and will most likely break when removing the display.

Step 4
• Connect the new display and seat it in the phone, without removing the plastic for the adhesive.
• Turn the phone on to make sure the display and home buttons work. If you glue the display without testing it first, it's a pain to take it off again once it has been glued and runs the risk of the display breaking.
• If the display works, remove the plastic covering the adhesive and seat the display in the phone. Push gently around the edges to ensure a good seal
