I've heated mine with two different blow driers for like 15 minutes each and the bracket still won't detach from the glass. What should I do?

Bought the replacement kit and everything worked well until I reassembled the phone. Screen failed to respond to touch so I thought I'd check the #1 cable. Can't do that. The tape provided wasn't strong enough to hold the screen to the bracket. So now how do I get the phone apart without damaging the digitizer and possibly the LCD?

@leewaterman Is that model good? Would you recommend that I purchase that one? I don't know what exactly to look for in a heat gun...Thanks!

Awesome video, worked like a charm. I used a hairdryer and had to keep at it for a while, but eventually it all came off. Only problem now is that my home button doesn't work... Oh well.

i did everything butt my phone wont turn on ???? wat should i doo
-
also remember to recalibrate the digitizer
-
when the suction cup doesnt work thats because the cracks let the air in. I solved this problem using 3in packing tape. the tape also prevents the shards from falling out.

@Apagnotta41 if the digitizer is not responding to your touch it could be 1 of 2 things. #1 the cable is not properly seated or #2 the digitizer itself is bad.

What a life saver, THANK YOU never could have done it with out this.
Hi thanks for the great video, I just removed the digitizer from the "bracket" but I used a screw driver and made a mess of it, I know stupid me :-) I need to get a replacement bracket but don't know the official name for the part as I tried searching iPhone 3G digitizer bracket with no luck, can you tell me what I need to search for please
Many thanks

@MarkbromIerski search for "mid frame" on the iphoneshopusa website. The link is in the video description.

Can the digitizer for the 3g and 3gs be interchangeable? I know the lcds are not, but I haven't tried the digitizer yet.

@ExKonoko they are not interchangeable. the cable connections for 3G and 3GS are different.
