Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Power Off the Phone

Ensure the device is completely powered off before beginning any repair.

2. Remove the SIM Card Tray

Use a SIM card ejection tool or a paperclip to remove the SIM card tray.

Fully remove the screen from the device once all ribbon cables are disconnected.

Carefully attach the ribbon cables from the new screen to the corresponding connectors on the motherboard. Ensure they are securely fastened.

9. Align and Place the New Screen

Align the new screen with the edges of the frame and press it down gently to secure it to the adhesive.

Place the SIM card tray back into its slot.
