Step 1

              Display Adhesive

Remove all traces of adhesive and debris from the phone’s frame. Clean the adhesion surface with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) and wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth.
If glue or glass remnants are left behind, the new display will not mount correctly and may be damaged.
Peel off the clear plastic backing from the pre-cut adhesive strip, exposing one side of adhesive.
