I used a heat gun set to 200°F to heat the screen to weaken the adhesive. I can hold my hand under the heat gun at this temperature, so I wasn’t concerned about hurting the camera. I used the orange suction cup available on ifixit.com (sold as a pair) that are usually used to remove iMac screens to pull the screen off. The suction cup is just a tad bigger than the screen, but with proper alignment it will suction down. Moderate force was required to pull the screen off, but no so much that I was able to remove the old screen without cracking.

The biggest problem was controlling dust. First I put on the new adhesive, then I used a bright work light, a bulb blower, and a Arctic Butterfly to remove dust from the LCD (I didn’t want to touch it, even with a microfiber cloth since I assumed this would introduce more dust than it removed). Once all the dust was eradicated, I quickly removed the plastic backing from the new screen and set it on the new adhesive.

My screen is now just like new, free of scratches and free of any dust under the screen. Thanks for the awesome post!
