Carefully lift—but do not remove—the LCD shield plate by lifting the end nearest the earpiece speaker a few millimeters from the display assembly.

Gently lift the other end (nearest the home button) to peel the home button cable off the display assembly.

Be extremely cautious as you peel the home button cable. It is a fragile cable. If you feel more than slight resistance, we recommend reheating and reusing the iOpener to soften the adhesive.

Remove the LCD shield plate off the display assembly.

Display assembly remains.
