Step 5
- Insert the spudger between the midframe and the display assembly.
- Gently pry up the midframe.
- When working with electronics, it’s important to choose a tool that’s ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The metal spudger is great when you need serious prying power, but the regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.
