Use a plastic opening tool to gently pry around the edges of the back cover, starting from a corner. Slowly work your way around until the cover is fully detached from the phone.

Detach the Display Cable
Locate the display connector and gently use a spudger to disconnect it from the motherboard. Handle the cable carefully to avoid tearing.
Heat and Remove the Display
Use a heat gun or hairdryer to apply heat evenly around the edges of the screen to soften the adhesive. Use a suction cup to lift the screen slightly, then insert a plastic opening tool and gently pry the screen away from the frame.
Install the New Screen
Carefully align the new screen with the phone's frame. Connect the display cable to the motherboard. Ensure the screen is seated properly before securing it with adhesive strips or tape.
Reassemble the Device
