Hey, I need to swap out the display cable for my Lenovo Yoga 520. Usually, there are two strong glue strips sticking the screen in place, and you just pull them off easily. But when I went to a repair shop last time, they used double-sided tape instead. Do you guys know how to get those off? Maybe using heat would work? My 3D printer bed gets up to 120°C, so that might be super hot enough!

Don't use a heat gun for LCD screens. To take it off, you have to gently pull it apart at first using a tool under the corners. Move slowly inch by inch until the whole thing comes loose without breaking the glass.

What's the highest heat level they can handle?
