LOL. Who rated this as a difficult repair? Seriously? T5 screws too much for you? The only issue with the repair for this device is the adhesive between the digi and frame is a REAL pain to remove, and the plastic frame is likely to melt if you use too much/high heat. Otherwise, it's very simple. Just be careful when installing the new digi, as the motherboard needs to be slightly lifted to feed the connector.

Thanks for the instructions!

Is there a part 2 for this guide? The instructions is incomplete and doesn't not include steps to actually remove the digitizer.
