Wonderful tutorial, Mate! I did everything according to the video, and everything came out as result! The only encounter that I had different was whenever removing the padded squares on the top shell housing. The screws were hidden behind a shiny reflective tape, however, this doesn't apply to everybody's console. A++ to this man's demonstration!

I’m going yolo and installing it without speakers then. Got a broken one on purpose as a project…soldering is not a skill set I have. Start with the top and eliminating the broken screen and then work through the bottom. I fix a laptop screen and it wasn’t this difficult. This is ridiculous
