Using a small Phillips screwdriver remove the one (1) screw located in orange near the battery housing. Swap to a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the remaining four(4) screws in red on figure 1. Figure 1 Once the screws have been removed, disconnect the clips holding the back housing in place by using a safe open pry tool. Carefully separate the back housing. Set aside the volume and power button as it will fall out normally from the housing. Remove the two (2) small Phillip screws from the motherboard which can be found at the top right and lower left of the phone. We can now remove the 3 pieces of black tapes covering all the connectors. Raise the white section of the jawbone connector and take away the flex cable. Cautiously raise the power and volume button flex cables from the housing. They are held in place with a small bit of adhesive.

Warm the outside edges of the front housing using hair dryer or heat gun. Apply average heat and use quick movements for about 45 seconds. Then use a safe open pry tool to release the screen from the housing. Reheat the adhesive if required. Simply change the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your phone back together again.
