The screen adhesive is very strong, requiring significant heat to soften it. If you have difficulty separating the adhesive, reheat the screen and try again.

Use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot mat to heat the top edge of the screen until it's almost too hot to touch.

Be careful not to overheat the phone—the battery and plastic components are susceptible to heat damage. Stop heating if the frame becomes too hot to touch.

If you're using a hot mat, set it to 80° C (176° F) and place your phone screen side down for 10 minutes.
