1 Can one remove display tape, 2 remove tape residu, 3 clean display

Hi there @jannn999 ,

I'd be happy to help you with your questions regarding your screen replacement. Here are some suggestions:

1. Tape Replacement: It's generally recommended to replace the tape that was removed during the screen replacement process. The tape serves as a protective barrier and helps secure the LCD screws in place. You can use double-sided adhesive tape or specialized adhesive tape designed for screen replacements. This will ensure proper alignment and stability of the display.
2. Residue Removal: If using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a cotton swab is taking too long or pushing glue into the frame, you can try using a plastic card or a non-abrasive plastic tool to gently scrape off the residue. Be cautious not to apply excessive force to avoid damaging the frame or the underlying components. Another option is to use a mild adhesive remover or a specialized cleaning solution for electronics. Remember to apply the solution to a cloth or cotton swab rather than directly on the display to prevent any potential damage.
3. Display Cleaning: To clean the display effectively, you can start by using a microfiber cloth or lens cleaning cloth to remove any loose debris or dust particles. For sticky debris, slightly dampen the cloth with distilled water or use a small amount of specialized screen cleaning solution. Gently wipe the display surface in a circular motion. Avoid using excessive moisture or spraying directly onto the screen to prevent any liquid from seeping into the device. Make sure to let the display dry completely before proceeding with the digitizer replacement.

Remember to handle all components with care and take necessary precautions to avoid static discharge or damage to the delicate parts during the process. Good luck with your screen replacement!
