-
Fully power off your phone and unplug any cables.
-
-
-
Screen seam: This seam separates the screen from the rest of the phone. Do not pry at this seam.
-
Bezel seam: This is where the plastic bezel designed to protect the screen meets the frame. It's held in place by plastic clips. This is where you should pry.
-
During the removal procedure, make sure to insert your opening picks in the right position to avoid separating the screen from its safety frame.
-
There are several plastic clips around the whole screen. If your opening pick gets blocked during the screen removal procedure, you've inserted your pick too deep underneath the screen.
