Step 4

When you have finished removing all of the screws, place the plastic opening tool in the groove at the bottom left corner of the motherboard cover and lift up.

Once a clip is released, you can detach the motherboard cover with your fingers and set aside.

where I can found the screen pease?

thanks for the guide

Your guide was clear and the photos were good up until removing and replacing the glass, which is the title of this guide. Was the screen glued onto the LCD? Did you have to replace the LCD and glass or just the glass? How did you remove the glass from the LCD? Did you have to glue the glass back to the LCD screen or use adhesive tape? I’m asking because I don’t know if this is a DIY job or if I should get the phone professionally repaired.

True, missing important details. I’m about to do this replacement. I assume the replacement screen has dual side tape built in. I’ll report back soon.

It seems the tutorial is for the whole screen (LCD+Glass) and it pretty much covers everything. After removing the screen, it’s just a matter of replacing it with the new one.

My experience: I bought the whole screen and mine came without any adhesives, so I had to use a double sided tape I got previously for another screen. It’s a very thin black tape and while I’ve read that it is not recommended, it held the screen in place. Although I am worried that it might be a bit weak for the long run. Also, it didn’t came with the speaker grill, so I had to use the one from the broken screen. Remember this before installing the new one.
