Don't lift the midframe all the way out, yet—the audio board cable prevents the midframe from lifting more than half of an inch (~1.25 cm).

Repeat the previous step for the top left corner of the midframe, prying the front shell (near the power button) away from the midframe as you lift the midframe about half an inch (~1.25 cm) up.

Remember to inspect the frame and the screen-side sensor cable if you feel resistance.

During reassembly, squeeze the top edge of the front shell onto the midframe until it snaps into place.
