Apply a heat gun or iOpener to front of screen to allow it to warm up the glue.

Be careful not overdo the heat. Use a low temperature and take your time to separate the screen.

Good job but I have just 1 speaker out.

MissHeather - Jul 4, 2016

Do you mean you took one speaker out or the speaker is no longer functioning properly?

Hello Ms. Heather I cannot access the motherboard, I am unable to remove the back cover. Pls help
