    • Insert the SIM ejection tool or a spudger in the small hole next to the SIM tray.

    • Push it gently until the tray pops out.

    • Remove the SIM card tray by sliding it outwards.

    • Heat the iOpener in a microwave for about 30 seconds. If the iOpener isn’t hot enough, reheat it for another 10-30 seconds.

    • Apply the heated iOpener on the backside of the phone for a minute to loosen the adhesive.

    • Use the iFixit opening tool and slide it along the edges of the phone to pry the back panel off.

    • Disconnect the brackets attached to the motherboard using a spudger.

    • Disconnect the bracket attached to the daughterboard using a spudger.

    You changed models! This one has a single camera. The one I have is like the one you started with. It has a ribbon cable going in to somewhere under that mother board. How do I get to that connection? Nothing else comes apart at this point.

    • Remove the battery.

    • This step is to ensure the heat from the iOpener does not damage the phone's battery.

    • Heat up an iOpener for 30 seconds.

    • Place it on the front of the screen until you are able to slide a Jimmy in between the screen and the phone.

    • Make sure you do not overheat the screen or camera as it might damage the camera lens.

  9. D1EfwCyuwr2vEAt4

    • Attach a suction handle to the screen.

    • Avoid being too rough to prevent more damage.

Mayson, Thank you for that clear set of instructions. I am trying to perform a Screen Replacement on what I believe is a OnePlus Nord N20 5G Phone. But, when open, it does not look quite like the one in this or any repair instructional site/page I've gone to. My broken screen is now attached only by its flimsy cable, which seems to go in and in between the front and the center section and connects under the daughter card or remove any modular parts, to get to the connection. The battery looks the same but doesn't have that handy disconnect for its cable. That seems to attach under that same card. Do you have any suggestions for me? (Please?)

Why did you change to a single lens phone? The rest of this is no help.
