Now that all the screws are removed. Use a safe open pry tool around the outer edges of the back plate to release the clips holding it in place.
With the backplate removed, you now have access to the motherboard. You need to disconnect 5 flex cables and the antenna wire as located in Figure 2.
Then the two Phillips screws holding the mainboard in place.
The side button contacts are stuck to the frame, you need to separate them before removing the board. Be careful not to tear the cables as they are very delicate. These are located in Green on Figure 2.

Now, you can remove the motherboard.

With the motherboard removed we can now release the screen assembly from the housing. Use a heat gun or hair dryer on the front of the screen around the outside edges. Keep the heat on medium and use quick movements over the screen, not staying in one place for too long. This should take 30-60 seconds.

This will soften the adhesive enough to remove the screen assembly from the housing. Use a safe open pry tool to release the front frame from the screen assembly.

The screen can now be replaced, just be cautious with the flex cable being fed through the housing.
