Étape 1 Soften the digitizer cables coating

Heat an iOpener and lay it on the digitizer cable ZIF connectors for 90 seconds to soften the coating.
Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer or a heat gun for 30 seconds.

Use the tip of a spudger to scrape the coating along the ZIF connectors' black locking tabs—enough so you can grab clumps of it with pointed tweezers.
Use pointed tweezers to peel off the coating around the black locking tabs and their hinges on the ZIF connector.
If the coating becomes too brittle and hard to peel off, reheat the connectors and try again.
This is a meticulous process! Failure to remove enough of the coating could damage the locking tab during disconnection, so take your time!

Use the point of a spudger to lift up the locking tabs on the ZIF connectors.
The locking tabs should be nearly vertical when unlocked. If not, remove more coating until the tabs can move freely.

Étape 4 Reheat the digitizer cables

Apply a heated iOpener to the digitizer cable ZIF connectors for 90 seconds to soften the coating.
Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer or a heat gun for 30 seconds.

Étape 5

Slide one arm of a pair of pointed tweezers underneath the cables to separate the coating securing them to the motherboard.
You only need to separate enough coating so you can grip the cables with blunt nose tweezers.

Modifier

Étape 6

Because of the awkward angle, this step requires some patience to avoid tearing the cables. Work slowly and apply heat regularly.
Use blunt nose tweezers to pull the cables away from their ZIF connectors slowly and steadily at a level angle to separate the coating.
Gripping the tweezers closer to the tip can help get a tighter hold on the cables.
Keep pulling on the cables until they're completely disconnected.
During reassembly:
Inspect the ends of the cables and the ZIF connectors for any remaining coating that could prevent a good connection.
Peel off the coating, heating the cable and the ZIF connectors when the coating becomes too brittle.
It doesn't have to look pretty! You just need to remove enough coating to have the cables sit properly in their connectors.

Étape 7 Soften the display cable coating

Apply a heated iOpener to the display cable ZIF connector for 90 seconds to soften the coating.
Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer or a heat gun for 30 seconds.

The display cable ZIF connector is larger and requires a different procedure to disconnect properly.
Use the tip of a spudger to scrape the coating along the ZIF connector's black locking tab—enough so you can grab clumps of it with pointed tweezers.

Modifier

Étape 9

Use pointed tweezers to peel off the coating around the locking tab and its hinge on the ZIF connector.
If the coating becomes too brittle and hard to peel off, reheat the connector and try again.
This is a meticulous process! Failure to remove enough of the coating could damage the locking tab during disconnection, so take your time!

Modifier

Étape 10

Use the flat end of a spudger to gently pry along the length of the locking tab to separate any remaining coating.
Don't pry hard at the corners of the locking tab to avoid snapping it.

Étape 11 Disconnect the display cable

Insert the flat end of a spudger under the middle of the locking tab and lift to unlock it.
The locking tab should be nearly vertical when unlocked. If not, remove more coating until the tab can move freely.

Modifier

Étape 12

Use blunt nose tweezers to grip the corner of the display cable closest to the charging port.
Pull the cable away from the ZIF connector slowly and steadily at a level angle to separate the coating at the corner.
If you're having trouble, try rocking the cable side-to-side while pulling.
Gripping the tweezers closer to the tip can help with getting a tighter hold on the cable.

Modifier

Étape 13

Repeat the previous step for the other corner until the entire cable is disconnected.
Lift up the cable and peel off any remaining coating holding it to the motherboard.
During reassembly:
Inspect the ends of the cable and the ZIF connectors for any remaining coating that could prevent a good connection.
Peel off the coating, heating the cable and the ZIF connector when the coating becomes too brittle.
It doesn't have to look pretty! You just need to remove enough coating to have the cable sit properly in the connector.
