Step one

Step two
When you've worked your way around each edge of the back casing, (easing it away from the screen,) remove it from the device and, set it aside. Use a hairdryer or a professional heat gun to heat each edge of the broken touchscreen. Remember not to hold the hairdryer or heat gun in place for too long as, this could result in permanent damage. Next, use a plectrum, debit card, (or any other tool with a flat edge,) to prise the touchscreen away from the LCD screen underneath. Apply further heat using a heat gun or hairdryer, as, and when, needed.
Step three
Once you've loosened each edge of the touchscreen, lift it up and away from the device and lay it on the table. Disconnect the cable that attaches the touchscreen to the Galaxy Note screen.
