Introduction
You may need to replace your midframe if it is bent or is preventing you from using your screen in a functional manner.
Step 3 of this guide requires you to use a heat gun tool used to loosen the adhesive attached to the display. Read the directions and wear proper protective gear to avoid burning yourself.
Before starting your repair process, be sure to power off your phone completely and disconnect it from any external power source.

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.
