Introduction

Removing the display is required for replacement of a broken, cracked, or damaged display.

If your screen is malfunctioning, check out this troubleshooting guide for screen malfunctions before you open up your device.

Warning: It is important to note that the display is a thin sheet of glass. When using tools to remove the screen, make sure to go slow and use caution. The screen can crack easily and break into small glass shards. Users may want to wear protection for hands and eyes.

Was all good till I got here:

The display was glued to the metal backing. Needs something to heat up the adhesive in order to remove it.
