The QHD, 5.7-inch, HTC U Ultra display assembly is glued solidly to the frame. Apply heat to soften the adhesive.
 
Use the precision knife to create enough space to insert a playing card.
 
Use the playing card to slice through the sticky adhesive. Take your time and apply additional heat as needed.
 
Once you have sliced through the adhesive, be mindful of the dual display cables when decoupling the HTC U Ultra screen from the frame.
