On my phone, there is a black plastic cover over the screen cable, which is apparently molded to the black middle frame. I am trying to separate the middle frame from the front bezel, but it doesn't want to seem to budge at the top and bottom. I am afraid if I force it further I'm going to break something. Guess I'll take it to Verizon and see how much for a new phone.

I am attempting to replace the USB port., as I have a friend who has the equipment and knowledge to do component level replacement, but it looks like I'm stopping at this stage, cause I can't complete the disassembly.
