Power Off the Device
Press and hold the power button until the power-off menu appears. Select 'Power off' to turn off the phone completely. Wait for a few seconds to ensure it is fully powered down.
Remove SIM Card Tray
Use the SIM card ejector tool to remove the SIM card tray from the side of the device. Set it aside in a safe place.
Heat the Edges
Using a heat gun or hair dryer, gently heat the edges of the screen to soften the adhesive. Keep the heat source moving to avoid overheating any area.
