Step 11
Remove Glass Display
- Insert your spudger, perhaps an iSesamo, to the top right of the display. You will want to slide it between the glass and the plastic bezel.
- There is a good amount of adhesive along the top of the display.
- Replace the spudger with a guitar pic to hold its place.
- Be careful how you insert the spudger, though, since there is a cable that connects the display to the logic board between the ear speaker and rear camera hole.

Continue Removing Glass Display
- Using the spudger (or iSesamo) in a saw-like motion, work your way down the right side of the display. Make sure you put the tool under the LCD and not in it.
- In the picture shown, I originally put the iSesamo in the LCD which caused the damage to the right. The guitar pics are under the LCD after I corrected my movement.

Thanks for the tip! My display included it so I didn’t think about it. Sorry I missed it.

Opened mine up to dry after it went for a swim in the sink. Any recommendations for replacing what appears to be a thermal pad. It disintegrated when I pulled the mainboard away from the screen. The pad is visible in Step 10. Could I get away with some Arctic Silver 5 and gauze, or should I look into a specific thermal pad?
