• The bottom end of the phone contains

the soft button and home button ribbon

cables. If you insert the metal spudger

too far into the phone you risk cutting

these cables.

• Slide the metal spudger across the

bottom edge of the display to separate

the last of the remaining adhesive.

Step 12:

• If the front panel is not easily freed, the

adhesive on the soft button cable may

need to be separated.

• These cables are thin and easily

damaged, therefore be certain you are

only peeling them off the display

assembly and not lacerating them.

• Insert metal spudger under the soft button icons on the display and pry the button cables

down off the inside of the front panel.
