Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 We apply heat

We apply heat to the screen to heat the glue and it will be easier to take off the screen. We must apply a lot of heat, since the LCD screen is completely attached to the chassis of the phone is quite complicated to take it off.

When we finish taking it off, we must remove a small shield that protects the screen connector to disconnect it.

We disconnected the battery, removed the front camera, and disconnected the flex from the home button.

Remove the 2 Phillips screws (PH # 00) that hold the motherboard and we can remove it.
