Before proceeding, check troubleshooting pages to confirm a new motherboard is needed.
Step 1 | Back Glass
Completely power off your phone and remove the SIM card holder.
- Prepare an iOpener and apply it to each side of the back cover for at least two minutes to loosen the adhesive.
- Alternatively, use a hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate with caution, avoiding overheating which can damage the display and internal battery.
Step 2
Secure a suction handle to an edge of the back cover, as close to the edge as possible.
- If the back cover is cracked, try lifting it with strong tape or superglueing the suction handle in place and allowing it to cure.
- Lift the back cover with the suction handle to create a small gap between the back cover and the frame.
- Insert an opening pick into the created gap.
- Slide the opening pick along the side of the phone to slice the adhesive; leave it in place to prevent resealing.
It may take several attempts, so be prepared. If you have trouble creating a gap, apply more heat, following the iOpener instructions carefully to avoid overheating.
Step 3
Insert a second opening pick at the bottom edge of the phone.
- Slide the opening pick along the side of the phone to slice the adhesive.

Step 4
Reheat the iOpener for 1-2 minutes if the adhesive is hard to cut.
- Slide the opening pick along both sides of the back cover to slice the remaining adhesive.
- Leave an opening pick on each side to prevent resealing.
