This guide is inaccurate in essentially every step.

A few examples:

1. there are 13 screws to remove the back housing

2. an additional 2 screws to remove the motherboard

3. fails to mention transferring power button and ear speaker

Horrible guide. Change the title to “how to partially remove screen”

I used the guide below to replace/re-attach the LCD and digitizer into the front frame. Sat the phone face down on a paper towel with books on it, while on a 3d printer bed heated to 80 degrees C, for total of about 20 minutes (IR thermometer measured screen/frame at around 65C). Will see how well this holds up…
