How to remove Display Assembly (LCD & Touch Screen Digitizer)
The LCD & touch screen/front panel on the LG G3 are fused together and cannot be separated from the frame/bezel of the smartphone without the use of heat and patience. Separating the display assembly from the frame is only recommended if the G3 has a CRACKED or DAMAGED screen that needs to be replaced.
Use the heat gun or a blow drier to soften the adhesive securing the display assembly to the frame/bezel of the LG G3.
To separate the display assembly from the frame/front housing, utilize one of the screwdrivers, and through the front-facing camera hole carefully push the damaged display assembly away from the LG G3’s frame.
You can now use the plastic opening tool or nylon spudger to continue working around the entire G3 display assembly slowly separating it from the frame/front housing.
