This doesn’t make sense. guide is to replace display, Step 5 is “Insert new motherboard”???
Then no pictures for steps 6 and 7, are they to be done with motherboard in place or what?
Ethan Chow - Jan 21, 2018
What does your replacement display look like? does it include the plastic frame? “New motherboard” incorrectly assumes youre replacing the motherboard, if youre doing a screen, just re insert your old one.

There should be a different guide for the motherboard. Step 5 is super confusing.

I totally agree. You should have one guide for just the screen replacement and one for motherboard replacement otherwise anyone following step by step to do either task will be doing unnecessary steps. It would clear up a lot of confusion if there were two separate guides.
