OK so this might be nitpicking, repair was successful. Doing the process in reverse order, not quite accurate. The reverse order does not take into account the various shield plastic covers applied to keep everything clean. After you’ve re-installed the connectors and the various cables and installed the LCD. be sure to clean that puppy thoroughly under a bright light. I missed a tiny smudge at the bottom edge and it’s driving me nuts. The new digitizer cables are quite stiff and it takes some effort to get them in position without getting your fingers stuck to the adhesive while you’re working. The adhesive cover strip on the side of the cables is a bit tricky to remove as it is hindered by the conncted cables. Removing it first makes manipulating the digitizer assembly digfficult without messing up the adhesive. If you dont get the cables tucked away well the screen wont keep that edge down. Great teardown guide but the reassembly could use a few steps or just a note about tricks to get it done smoothly.
