    • The screen is attached with adhesive.

    • Do not heat the device too much, stop at regular intervals and insure that no pieces are being affected badly.

    • Use a hair dryer to gently heat the rear of the screen until it's almost too hot to touch.

    • Insert a jimmy between the screen and plastic bracket. Once a slim gap is opened, insert an opening pick between the plastic bracket and rear screen.

    • Reheat the screen as needed.

    • Continue to insert opening picks around the entire perimeter of the screen as you pry to avoid the adhesive from reengaging.

    • Once the screen fully releases, remove it.
