    • We recommend that you clean your microwave before proceeding, as any nasty gunk on the bottom may end up stuck to the iOpener.

    • Place the iOpener in the center of the microwave.

    • For carousel microwaves: Make sure the plate spins freely. If your iOpener gets stuck, it may overheat and burn.

    • Heat the iOpener for thirty seconds.

    • Throughout the repair procedure, as the iOpener cools, reheat it in the microwave for an additional thirty seconds at a time.

    • Be careful not to overheat the iOpener during the repair. Overheating may cause the iOpener to burst. Do not attempt to heat over 100˚C (212˚F).

    • Never touch the iOpener if it appears swollen.

    • If the iOpener is still too hot in the middle to touch, continue using it while waiting for it to cool down some more before reheating. A properly heated iOpener should stay warm for up to 10 minutes.

  3. iPod Nano 7th Generation Front Glass/Digitizer Replacement: passo 3, imagem 1 %32
    • Remove the iOpener from the microwave, holding it by one of the two flat ends to avoid the hot center.

    • The iOpener will be very hot, so be careful when handling it. Use an oven mitt if necessary.

    • If you don't have a microwave, follow this step to heat your iOpener in boiling water.

    • Fill a pot or pan with enough water to fully submerge an iOpener.

    • Heat the water to a boil. Turn off the heat.

    • Place an iOpener into the hot water for 2-3 minutes. Make sure the iOpener is fully submerged in the water.

    • Use tongs to extract the heated iOpener from the hot water.

    • Thoroughly dry the iOpener with a towel.

    • The iOpener will be very hot, so be careful to hold it only by the end tabs.

    • Your iOpener is ready for use! If you need to reheat the iOpener, heat the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and place the iOpener in the water for 2-3 minutes.

    • Use a metal spudger to carefully pry near the Lightning connector and under all parts of the front panel assembly: the front glass/digitizer, the LCD display and the metal midframe.

    • The adhesive under the metal midframe/display assembly is quite strong and the components are fragile, so go slowly and gently. Make sure you do not bend the LCD screen.

  13. iPod Nano 7th Generation Front Glass/Digitizer Replacement: passo 13, imagem 1 %32 iPod Nano 7th Generation Front Glass/Digitizer Replacement: passo 13, imagem 2 %32

    • Pull the front panel assembly slightly down and partially out of the device.

    • You only need to open the device enough to gain access to the display cable connectors near the sleep/power button.

    • Do not separate the two halves entirely, they are still connected by several cables.

    • Insert a spudger under the metal midframe and display on the left side of the home button.

    • Make sure that the spudger is under the entire display assembly to prevent bending the metal midframe.

    • Rotate the spudger around the home button and across the front panel, releasing the adhesive holding the display in place.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to push the home button gasket toward the center of the button to release the light adhesive.

    • Work your way around the home button in this manner until you can easily remove the button from the front glass.

    • To prevent tearing the gasket around the home button, do not pry the home button out until the adhesive has been sufficiently loosened.

Tried everything to loosen the adhesive around the metal midframe... Nothing worked, and finally (after a lot of prying) I managed to get it out... only to have damaged the lcd digitizer underneath the screen!

If you're going to attempt this, have a spare digitizer nearby, and be willing to fail. After spending $60+ on parts and tools, i'm worse off then where I started.

I have no idea how this is considered moderate, meanwhile the Classic is considered very difficult.

So far, so bad. I left the iopener on there for 90 seconds. Not loose at all. Heated it again a little longer and left on for a little longer. Still not loose at all. Pried and pried and BROKE THE BLUETOOTH ANTENNA!!!! Still soldiering on, but the front part is not coming loose either. Beginning to regret the attempt big time.
