[@KoolCatGio]

Excellent repair!

[@ShR33k]

Great video! Mine was very slightly different... as the one I was fixing is the A03s A037G/DSN and motherboard/cables only very slightly different, but all the relevant parts in the same place! I didn't have any alcohol so I used my soldering station heat gun attachment on 100 degrees C and applying to the (broken) glass-side to help release the battery and also used the same heat gun settings to lightly go over the power/volume buttons to help release the adhesive. Luckily I already had mobile phone double-sided tape from various glass replacements in the past to help me stick down the vibration motor and the connector for the power/volume.

[@cnt369]

I really appreciate how to-the-point this video is. Thank you.

[@BHill-qi6rn]

Thanks for your help, I cracked my screen, and this video helped me out big time bro!!

[@khalidmundwiller5456]

Taking the volume power flex cable off is one of the hardest things I've ever done and I've fixed many devices. I would have been a lot better off buying just the LCD and leaving the frame intact... Bought the frame version based on your video... I truly dislike when videos make a job look so much simpler than they really are. The rest of it was as shown, but I've never seen a harder removal than that flex.

Does the website for the screen deliver over seas?

[@Steveh112]

Awesome video, just getting ready to start my first one of these. Thanks for the reminder to remove the SIM tray and also the heads up about the finger print reader cable attached to the back cover. Also I have one question. Near the top there is that 6 connection point square pad attached to a ribbon cable. On the replacement I bought on eBay, it is glued down slightly crooked, not perfectly square like yours. Do I dare try to peel it up to glue it back down straight or should I send it back? I wish I could attach a picture of it here but I don't see a place to do so. Thanks
