[title] Soften the left edge adhesive
[* icon_caution] The adhesive securing the screen to the back cover is very strong and requires a lot of heat before you can create an initial gap.
[* black] Apply a [guide|25705|heated iOpener|new_window=true] to the left edge of the screen for three minutes.
- [* icon_note] Alternatively, use a [guide|151116|heat gun|new_window=true] or [guide|157348|hair dryer|new_window=true] to soften the adhesive. If you're reusing your screen, be careful not to overheat it—temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) damage most LCDs.
-[* red] While you wait for the adhesive to soften, note where it is on the left and right sides of the screen and back cover.
