A spudger worked fine for me. As long as you’re careful you should be fine.

What I did mess up though was the wifi antenna. I was extra extra careful when working on this area but I still managed to break the wifi cable due to the fact that the screen has copious amounts of glue / sticky tape stuck to the top of it which makes it near impossible to remove the screen without causing damage - Way to go Microsoft! >:(

How is this difficult? Seriously, if you can’t even manage a simple procedure like this then you shouldn’t even be attempting this replacement. Take it to a repair shop and give it to someone who knows what they’re doing.

I wouldn’t rate this as extremely difficult though to be honest. I’d say moderate at best.

You really need to let people know about the amount of adhesive on the back of these screens. They are NOT easy to take off (it’s almost as if they have superglue on the back of them) and they can crack with the slightest of pressure. Clearly going from this guide, the adhesive from the back of the screen had already been removed, making this look like an easy process when it actually isn’t :(

One of the parts isn’t genuine. Either your actual charging port or the cable you’re using.

Either you haven’t connected it back up properly, you may have bent pins or debris on the connections or you have a faulty charging flex cable.

Thanks for the info. I was just thinking about Step 14 and if the cables would be long (or strong) enough. You answered my question ;-)

The lcd on my phone was physically glued to the inside of the phone so it broke when trying to remove it (which wasn't a problem as it was dead anyway) but this needs to be mentioned as it isn't!

Sorry but this has got to be THE worst guide I've ever seen! All it does is state the obvious! Why do I need a guide for that? :(

Why don't you just buy the screen which has the lcd and digitiser already assembled? That will save you a lot of hassle for only a few £'s more :)
