[* red] Loosen the three large-headed Phillips screws along the other side of the iPhone about one half turn.
[* icon_reminder] Before removing the display assembly, note the position of the cables for the digitizer and display. For reassembly, both cables must be completely pulled through the slot cut in the outer case. Otherwise, the digitizer cable will not reach to its socket on the logic board. The second photo shows the cables in the correct position.
-[* orange] During reinstallation, not touch the metallic area at the base of the cable on your new display, as this can cause problems with the LCD. If you do touch it accidentally, clean it gently with an alcohol wipe before continuing.
