How to remove Display Assembly (LCD & Touch Screen)
The display assembly (LCD & touch screen) are fused together
and secured to the frame /front housing of the LG VS980 using a good amount of
adhesive. It will require heat, and patience, to separate the display assembly
from the frame.
This procedure is only recommended on a G2 with a DAMAGED display that requires replacement. Use the heat gun or blow drier to heat the adhesive securing the display assembly (LCD & digitizer) to the G2’s frame/ front housing. The heat will loosen the adhesive securing the parts together.
