For your safety, '''discharge your battery below 25%''' before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.[br] | | [br] | | In order to remove the Screen & Digitizer you need to remove the battery first. Do not reuse the battery after it has been removed, as doing so is a potential safety hazard. Replace it with a new battery. | | | Note: This guide instructs you to replace only the screen while leaving the original frame and motherboard in place.
