    • Using a plastic opening tool or spudger, pry up the screen after the adhesive has melted.

    • When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that's ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The metal spudger is great when you need serious prying power, but the regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.

    • Because it is a water-resistant phone, the screen cannot be taken apart without breaking.

    • The plastic cover of the phone may separate from the LCD screen. If so, also remove the LCD screen with the regular nylon spudger.

    • In the upper right area of the LCD screen, there is a connecting ribbon. Be careful not to rip its connection to the motherboard.

    • Do not hold the phone too close to your face or eyes. Small glass shards may dislodge or the metal spudger may slip.
