[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1358157, member: 56379"] I'm not sure if you've ever used one of those heat guns (I have)...and they can get VERY hot VERY fast. They work great if you're trying to strip paint off wood around the house or remove floor tiles or linoleum...but the heat from them is very intense...and I'm thinking that with the delicate nature of electronics/display...it's going to be hard to control the heat. Basically...something may get damaged due to heat exposure (before) the adhesive you're trying to soften up is "softened". This is why I suggested the hair dryer. The hair dryer heat is still very hot...but not so hot that damage can or will occur too quickly. If you're concerned about concentrating the heat where needed...be creative & think out of the box!;)...make your own "concentrator" out of a piece of thin cardboard...and tape it to the outlet of the hair dryer.
