Step 2
- Avoid to lift only the display instead of the whole phone assembly as doing so may cause damage to the screen.
- Use an iSclack or a suction handle to separate the phone assembly from the rear panel.
- In case you can‘t manage to lift the phone assembly out of the rear panel you can insert the pointed end of a spudger in the headphone jack opening and press the phone assembly upwards until you create a gap between assembly and rear panel. Then use the spudger to lever the phone assembly out of the panel.
- Don’t remove the rear panel completely yet. There is a cable connected to it! It is running from the finger print sensor to the display unit.
