Introduction

For this repair I replaced the LCD and Digitizer that comes with a frame. When ordering the part you should make sure it has the frame, because if you repair the front assembly without the frame, there will always be a slight lift in the screen. If you repair it without the frame it will still work, but you will run the risk of cracking the screen again due to that slight lift.

    • Start by removing the Sim card tray, which also happens to be your volume button

    • I personally used an iSesamo tool to unclip the tabs off the back housing, You can also use the Jimmy or some plastic prying tools.

    • Do Not pry the back housing around the bottom of the screen. Pry on the left, right, and top. After that the back housing should slide off on the bottom.

    How do this please

    • Using a Spudger lift the motherboard from right to left.

    • After lifting the motherboard from the frame remove the tape, and lift the black tab with your Spudger to remove the flex cable.

    • When you place the new screen remember to replace the tape over the flex cable.

    • Before putting the mother board on remember to transfer your ear speaker from the old frame to the new one.

As long as your phone is on and working, you should be able to connect your phone to your laptop and use it as if it were an external hard drive.

Any idea how the power button comes off the original frame? I bought a new frame, glass assembly but I’m suppose to bring over the camera & power button but I don’t see how that can be done…
