Introduction

You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

What you need

Step 1

              Heat the rear glass

Be sure to power off your phone before you begin.
Apply a heated iOpener to the rear glass for two minutes to loosen the adhesive beneath.
A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the AMOLED display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

Step 2

              Insert an opening pick

Pull on the suction handle to create a gap between the rear glass and the frame.
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
