      • Use heat to losen the adhesive. A low temp hot air gun will suffice.

      • After heating up the adhesive, you can use a basic spudger to pry off the flex from the glass

      • be sure not to use too much force, this flex is very fragile.

      • use your iron, and low guage solder to apply a layer of your own solder on the pads

      • the new solder will allow for faster, and more controlled heat transfer.

      • a few back and forth strokes of your soldering iron should be enough to remove the flex cable.

      • be sure not to apply too much force with the iron, as you can cause physical damage to the pads.

      • Using a little bit of solder flux, can help decrease the amount of pressure needed to properly transfer the heat.

      • Line the corrisponding holes up, and make sure they are 100% overlapped.

      • failing to properly line up the holes can cause a short, or cold circuit.
