A blow dryer or heat gun work fine
Flippy Macher I'll tell you off the bat when using a heat gun be extremely cautious if it gets hotter then what you could actually touch meaning if you can't put your hand on there anymore you probably fried your LCD so be extremely cautious.
There's no adhesive on the LCD, it's just around the plastic.
You can try peeling it off slowly with a playing card/metrocard or something thin.
My only reason for you to use heat is that way you can stick back the screen after removing it otherwise you're going to need some type of adhesive to hold the screen back to the frame.
Flipp You can order entire new housings on aliexpress.
CallMeACynic Yes you sure can. But don't expect to get all the small parts. For example the rubber on the top of the bottom hinge, and the metal bracket which determines when the phone is open or closed. Basically it's doable if you literally take off every small part and build the new housing. A little warning, it's a real pita. So do it at your own risk. Aside from waiting a few weeks before getting the parts.
Just so you can see for yourself the difference. Go to globalpartsdirect.com and match up the parts. You'll see some have small parts.
william If you read up thread, Or rather if you did not read up thread, be really careful if you're using heat because you'll mess up the screen.
Use a metrocard, that's something that you have in New York, Or a wedge bar any plastic piece to pull it up. Even a playing card should help.
If you ever fixed any phone or have any plastic prybars that's the best tool.
Just curious what are you looking to do?
I would not advise you to use any metal knives or sharp objects you'll end up scratching the plastic screen and the real screen.

Yes there's two mics. one for speaker and one when off speaker. they are both the same. Though they need to be soldered on or using heat to pull off the old ones and put the new one on. or spend $20 and but a new board on which has a new mic, so in essence another $17-$18. though its backordered Now.
