    • Phillips #000 is highly recommended. As you can see i'm too broke for the iFixIt equivalent.

    • The iSesamo is also always handy.

    hi jon. i have a 4 day old Alcatel one touch fierce that will not power up. Can you help?

    I have no sound! Sometimes it crackles or I'll hear part of a ringtone but that's it!!

    • With the back plastic removed.

    • "DO NOT REMOVE"

    • Challenge accepted

    I'm finding the 2nd cover difficult to remove. It seems secured somewhere top center. Perhaps around the camera lens. I'm nervous to continue in fear I may break something. Any additional info for this step would be useful

    Julie Copeland -

    I feel the same way

    sanchezkk -

    under the void sticker there is an additional SCREW!

    • Trying to remove the front panel assembly.

    • It seemed to have quite a bit of adhesive.

    • Luckily i have a good amount of picks available.

    • Oh no, i think i hear cracking...

    • Crap! i totally saw this coming.

    • To avoid this use a heat gun to loosen the glue...not too much heat though.

I'm so glad I found this link!!! I broke the screen on my phone two weeks after I bought it, and refused to pay someone $80 to fix it (I didn't pay that much for the phone!). I have NO experience replacing a cell phone screen and this teardown looked pretty straightforward, so I figured it was worth a try. The step by step was easy, worked perfectly, and I can finally see my screen! YAY! Thank you!

Note: Use patience, and it's a breeze!

Barbara Prather -

I also successfully repaired my phone although this guide made it seem like you couldn't do it without ruining the LCD. I'm pretty proficient in phone and electronic repair but I think even beginners could do this one. The new glass that I bought had adhesive already applied to it so I could see exactly where it would be adhered from the factory. I heated the front with a heat gun and started at the top left corner. Once I got a pick in there I started going into the gap with a little X-Acto knife, cutting away at the foam like adhesive. I worked my way down the left side, then went back to the right side, cutting as I went. When only the bottom was attached, I held the phone by the top of the glass and let it dangle. Using the heat gun on the bottom of the glass allowed the weight of the phone to separate itself from the glass. Cleaned it up and put the new glass on, works like new again.

I'm about to give this a try Dan. Thanks for your encouragement. Just one question: how did you "clean it up" before putting on the new one? Thanks!!

Janene -
