Introduction

If the battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions. Be very careful when heating the phone when removing the screen. As the battery is in the center of the phone, avoid heating the center, focusing only on the edges to heat up the adhesive.

              Display Assembly

Power off your Nokia 6 before beginning disassembly.
Insert the SIM card ejection tool into the hole on the left side of the phone.

Step 4

Take a Jimmy and slide it under the glass after the adhesive has been softened.
Place a pick under the glass after lifting with the pry tool so that the screen won’t re-adhere to the frame again.
Make sure to not touch the LCD edge underneath the glass layer with the metal pry tool or the cards. This can damage the ribbon cables underneath and compromise the structural integrity of the phone itself.
The corners of the screen are the most fragile part of the screen. Make sure that the entire edge of the screen is dislodged from the frame before prying at the corners.

Thanks for the instructions. Looks like I could do a lot of things wrong and my screen is cracked. I think I will go buy a new phone as my Nokia is 3 years old now.

Re-assembly requires you to insert the plastic tabs on the midframe back into their slots on the bottom side of the enclosure.

Make sure that neither the soundcloud downloader tool nor the cards touch the LCD edge under the glass. This can cause damage to the ribbon cables underneath and make the phone less stable.
