Screen is available on internet but without frame and buttons. I bought one of those so the only pb i had was to separate capacitive buttons and fingerprint scanner from the screen. i had to separate the black plastic frame from the screen too. It takes me around 2 hours to do it but now my OP2 works with a brand new screen. Changing screen on OnePlus2 is doable and cost around 100€ but you have to be careful and patient.

Is the screen working properly??

It’s the glue on the back of the screen or on the frame? Do you need to apply new glue?
