Swap the screen of the Blackberry Z30: You need this tool:

Turn off the Blackberry Z30, open the battery cover and remove all Torx screws that are embedded in the plastic back (see markings). If you have loosened all screws, the display is no longer fixed.
Loosen the display a little with your fingernails so that there is a gap. Here you can start with the check card and run it all around the Blackberry Z30. This will completely detach the screen from the case.
Attention: On the right side (see screenshot) the display is connected to the mainboard of the Z30. First disconnect this connector before you lift the broken display completely.
To supply the new display with power, reconnect it to the mainboard at the marked point. The assembly works in reverse order.
