Introduction

    • Use a Heat Gun to heat the sides of the device and loosen the adhesive.

    • Heat the adhesive/device to just barely too hot to touch.

    • Pry up the the back of the device.

    • This process works best if you go one side at a time.

    • Peel this connector off the device.

    • This is basically just a sticker, but go slow so you don't tear the connector.

    • If you have not done so already, de-solder the boards from the device.

    • De-soldering the wires right now makes sure none of the wires are damaged or broken when we move the components.

    • The touch screen should lift right out of the device.

    • Use the Heat Gun to heat the adhesive between the screen and edge protector.

    • Pry the two pieces apart.

    • Be careful of the circuit ribbon for the touch screen when prying the two pieces apart. The ribbon threads through both pieces.

    • Remember: Heating the device to 'almost to hot to touch' makes the process easier to work with.

    • Tip: Try the heating & prying process on one side of the device at a time.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
