+[* black] Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the screen, while avoiding the very edge of the glass.

[* icon_note] The watertight adhesive holding the display in place is very strong; creating this initial gap takes a significant amount of force. If you're having a hard time opening a gap, apply more heat, and gently rock the screen up and down to weaken the adhesive until you create enough of a gap to insert your tool.
