STEP 1

REMOVE THE TWO SCREWS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE

OF THE DOCK CONNECTOR.

STEP 2USE THE KNIFE TO PRY THE SCREEN ASSEMBLY UPWARD. USE

CARE TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE TO THE RUBBER SEAL

SURROUNDING THE SCREEN ASSEMBLY. USE CARE TO PREVENT

THE KNIFE FROM ABRUPTLY SLIDING UNDER THE ASSEMBLY.

STEP3THE SCREEN ASSEMBLY IS CONNECTED TO THE LOGIC BOARD

WITH THREE RIBBON CABLES. IN THE IMAGE YOU CAN SEE

RIBBON CABLE 1 AND 2. RIBBON CABLE 3 IS HIDDEN

UNDERNEATH RIBBON CABLE 2. DO NOT PULL THE ASSEMBLY

TOOL, DO NOT PULL THE CABLE BEFORE OPENING THE

LATCH.

STEP 7

IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO, REMOVE THE SIM-CARD

TRAY.

STEP 8HINT: USE A HAIR DRYER TO HEAT UP THE ASSEMBLY

BEFORE YOU TRY TO REMOVE THE GLASS. THE GLUE WILL

BECOME MUCH WEAKER WHEN WARM.

IF THE GLASS BREAKS, HOLD THE GLASS FAR AWAY FROM

YOUR EYES OR WEAR PROTECTIVE GOGGLES. SMALL

GLASS FRAGMENTS WILL SPRAY AWAY FROM GLASS AS

YOU PRY.

SLIDE THE PLASTIC OPENING TOOL BETWEEN THE SEAL

AND THE GLASS. APPLY GENTLE FORCE SINCE THE

ADHESIVE BETWEEN THE GLASS AND THE SCREEN

ASSEMBLY IS QUITE STRONG.

STEP 9

REMOVE THE BROKEN GLASS PIECES ONE BY ONE.

USE CUT-SAFE GLOVE TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST THE

SHARP GLASS FRAGMENTS.

STEP 10USE THE SHARP FLATHEAD TO REMOVE BIGGER PIECES OF

GLASS, SINCE THE ADHESIVE CAN BE QUITE STRONG.

AVOID APPLYING TOO MUCH FORCE, DO NOT BEND THE

ASSEMBLY TO AVOID BREAKING THE SCREEN. KEEP THE

SCREWDRIVER FROM SLIPPING ONTO THE SCREEN TO AVOID

SCRATCHES.

STEP 11

AS YOU RELEASE THE BROKEN DIGITIZER FROM THE

ASSEMBLY, TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE ORDER OF THE

CONNECTOR CABLES: BE SURE TO BRING THE RIBBON CABLES

INTO THE SAME ORDER WHEN YOU INSTALL THE NEW IPHONE 3G

DIGITIZER.

THE DIGITIZER REMOVED FROM THE ASSEMBLY. REMOVE THE

BOTTOM PROTECTIVE FILM OF YOUR NEW DIGITIZER AND APPLY

ADDITIONAL DOUBLESIDED TAPE OR ADHESIVE OF YOUR CHOICE

TO NEW DIGITIZER IF NEEDED.

GLARING WHITE PIECES IN THE IMAGE.

THEY WILL KEEP THE NEW DIGITIZER FROM SITTING

FLUSH.
