How to remove Display Assembly (LCD & Touch Screen)
The S5 Display Assembly (LCD & Touch Screen) is fused
together and cannot be separated. The display assembly is secured to the frame
of the smartphone with a good amount of adhesive; it will require heat, and
patience, to separate.
This procedure is recommended only on smartphones with a display assembly that is ALREADY DAMAGED. Use a heat gun or blow drier to heat the adhesive securing the display assembly to the smartphone’s frame/ front-housing.

Next, insert the precision knife in the seam where the display
assembly meets the frame. Separate the two pieces apart enough to fit a plastic
triangle opening tool into the gap.
With liberal use of the heat gun or blow dryer, work around
the perimeter of the S5. Use the triangle opening tools to keep the adhesive
from coming back in contact.
As you near the home button side of the S5 display assembly, be cautious of the
ribbon cables on either side of the home button. When prying around this area,
make sure you do not sever the wires or you will have to replace the S5 dock
port assembly.
Once the four sides of the display assembly are pried away
from the frame/front housing, use the nylon spudger to separate the adhesive
that secures the middle of the LCD to the frame/front-housing of the Galaxy S5.

clips inside where the battery was located to separate the front and rear
housing (marked with orange circles).
The front housing is snapped into the rear housing. Carefully grip, raise, and
separate them from each other.
