Apply warmth to the screen's right lateral border, ensuring it reaches a temperature that is perceptible upon contact.Elevate the temperature of the display's right-hand side to a level where tactile sensation confirms the heat.

• Ensure the depth of pick insertion remains limited to a maximum of 5 millimeters.Proceed along the right-hand border of the device.
• Maneuver the pick's tip around the lower-right corner, directing it towards the power button; you will encounter resistance indicating a retaining clip's position securing the screen.This clip firmly holds the screen in place.Reposition the pick so that its planar surface is situated beneath the screen's edge.
• This orientation facilitates separation.The flat edge of the pick will be used to leverage the screen.Maintain caution to prevent damage during this process.

Utilize a prying tool to widen the separation between the display assembly and the device's chassis.The release of the right-side securing clip will occur as the gap expands.The display is referred to as the 'screen' in this procedure.Position a second prying tool adjacent to the initial tool, on the right-hand side.
This second tool facilitates maintaining the separation while the clip disengages.

Using a prying tool, reposition the initial pick towards the lower-right section of the display panel.The lower-right corner of the screen's surface serves as the target location for the pick's movement.Employ a second prying tool and maneuver it to the upper-right corner of the screen's surface.The upper-right corner of the screen is the designated area for the second pick's placement.
This action of moving the second pick is intended to break the adhesive bond.The adhesive holding the screen in place will be released through this separation process.Maintaining the picks in their current positions is crucial to avoid the adhesive re-attaching.The inserted picks act as a barrier, preventing the adhesive from reforming a seal.
This prevents the adhesive from re-bonding the screen to the device's frame.

To facilitate separation, apply heat to the screen's upper border until its surface reaches a temperature comfortable enough to be touched.

• To prevent damage, ensure the repair tool's insertion depth remains limited to a maximum of 3 millimeters near the upper boundary.The upper edge should be carefully examined to maintain structural integrity during the separation process.Employ a prying action around the upper-right corner, extending along the top edge, to disengage the two retaining clips and the adhesive bond.
• This maneuver effectively breaks the adhesive seal and releases the clips that hold the component in place.

Apply warmth to the screen's left border, continuing until surface temperature is high enough to be felt upon contact.

• To prevent damage to the two screen-to-phone cables, ensure the opening of your tool does not exceed 2 millimeters along the left side.Carefully maneuver your opening tool around the upper-left corner of the display assembly to begin separating the adhesive.Continue the separation process by sliding the tool along the left edge, progressing towards the lower corner.
• The adhesive bond between the screen and the device's frame will be released as the tool is moved.
• Avoid inserting the tool beyond the specified depth to safeguard the delicate cable connections.

• Carefully pivot the display assembly to the left side of the device.
• Should resistance be encountered during screen separation, re-examine the device's edges to identify any remaining adhesive or secured clips.
• Secure the display panel against a supporting structure, such as a box, to prevent undue stress on the internal connectors.

• Carefully monitor the location of every screw during the repair process, ensuring each is reinstalled in its original position.
• Employ a specialized tool, specifically a tri-point Y000 driver, for the subsequent steps.The six screws holding the logic board cover in place must be detached using the tri-point Y000 driver.A single screw, measuring 2.1 millimeters in length, is among those that require removal.
  
  • Five screws, each with a length of 1.5 millimeters, are also part of the fastening assembly.Accurate screw placement is crucial for proper reassembly and functionality.
