    • Pry the LCD screen off of the circuit board using the opening tool. The screen is connected to the motherboard with light adhesive, which is easy to remove.

    • The LCD screen will still be connected to the circuit board by a ribbon cable.

    • Use a soldering iron to melt away the connection between the ribbon cable and circuit board.

    • Be careful! High temperatures from the soldering iron may result in injury.

    • Only make contact with the solder connection so that none of the phone’s components are damaged by the heat.

    • Once you heat the solder connection, lightly tug the ribbon cable free. The LCD screen will be completely removed from the device.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device with a new LCD screen, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Note: you will need to use the soldering iron again to attach the new LCD screen ribbon to the circuit board.
