You can replace an iPhone 3G screen, also called a digitizer, by removing it and installing a new or refurbished part. The removal process is simple and requires a set of miniature screwdrivers that you can find at any hardware store. Throughout the process, be careful to ensure that the iPhone 3G is not further damaged, by being very deliberate with your actions and following the removal steps exactly.
Instructions
1. Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws beside the data port on the bottom of the iPhone.
2. Place the end of the flat-head screwdriver between the chrome siding and the glass cover in a location other than where you removed the two screws in Step 1. As soon as you feel it slip in, gently pry the screwdriver back to lift the glass.
3. Lift the cover open partially to reveal the data ribbon strips that attach from the body to the digitizer. Gently unplug the left-side data cables by pushing them with your finger or another blunt object. Do not pull the cover farther upward.
4. Look at the top right side of the area where you disconnected the data ribbons and you will see another connector. If you look closely you will see a very small latch that needs to be pulled back and up, like a car door handle, to remove the last connection and separate the iPhone 3G digitizer from the body.
