For this tutorial you will need the following spared parts and tools

Tutorial: Step by step

Step 1 Battery cover

Remove the battery cover. Use a plastic tool to avoid scratching or damaging the case.

Step 2 Battery

Remove the battery by pulling on the bottom.

Step 3 SIM and microSD cards

Remove the SIM and micro SD cards

Step 4 housing

Remove the 5 Phillips screws that hold the housing.

Step 5

Use a plastic tool to separate the housing.

Step 6

Step 7 Motherboard

Disconnect the flex cables from the display that hold the board.

Step 8

Carefully spread the base plate.

Step 9 Tecla home

Press the key with your finger so that it comes out on the opposite side.

Step 10 HOT GLASS

Insert the HOT GLASS in the microwave for the time specified in the instructions for use.

If you heat it too long, the gel inside will expand and the bag will be inflated until the content is poured.

The last minute in the microwave is advised to interrupt every 15 seconds and knead the gel inside with your hands to distribute the heat.

Step 11 Screen (Display and digitizer)

Apply heat to the screen for a few minutes with the Hot Glass.

Step 12

Insert a spike into the joint between the screen and the housing and gently move it around the contour. Take special care at the top of not cutting the flex cable of the digitizer when passing the tine. Try to avoid that corner.

Both the digitizer and the display are fragile. You should not force it because you could break them.

Repeat the previous step and apply heat as many times as necessary until it comes off.

Step 13

Separate the digitizer from the rest of the screen. Note that the flex cable of the digitizer does not get stuck.

Step 14

Gently apply pressure to separate the display from the housing.
