| [title] Separate the perimeter adhesive | |
| [* black] Apply a suction cup to the heated top edge of the screen, as close to the edge as possible. | |
| [* icon_note] If your screen is badly cracked, [guide|140533|covering it with a layer of clear packing tape|new_window=true] may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen. | |
| [* black] Pull up on the suction cup with a steady force to create a gap between the screen and the frame. | |
| [* icon_note] Depending on the age of your phone, this may be difficult. If you are having trouble creating a gap for the opening pick, apply more heat to the edge and try again. You may need to repeat this step multiple times. | |
| [* black] Insert the tip of an opening pick into the gap at a steep angle. Push down the opening pick so that it is level with the screen. | |
| [* icon_caution] Make sure the opening pick slides over the front-facing camera and is not pushing against it. | |
| - | [* icon_caution] The screen's glass is adhered to the screen's electronic component with adhesive. Do not insert the pick between the glass and the electronic component. Separating the glass from the electronic component will likely permanently damage the screen. |
| [* black] Leave the opening pick in the gap to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing. |
