What you need
Step 1
Display Assembly
- Turn off the device before beginning your repair.
- Using a heat gun, carefully apply heat around the edges of the display to soften the glue. Heat should be applied to the point where the phone isn’t too hot to touch, but close enough.

Will the glue work againg when reassambling?

Rodolfo, no - the glue cannot be reused during reassembly. There should be a step 4.
Step 4: enclosed you will find a rectangle of double-sided adhesive. Use scissors/knife to trim off thin strips of adhesive, and place these around the edge of the housing where the glue was previously bonded (remove any residual glue from the housing before placing the adhesive).
You can get the gist of it by watching from 9:52 on this youtube video on replacing a Moto G screen (different phone, same principle): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdRJsQUl…
Now reverse the first 3 steps.

Just a heads up:
If you replace the screen, make sure to transfer the plastic ear piece from the original screen to the replacement. (It’s the one with the metal bar) I was unable to find a replacement through any of the suppliers I use.
