Do you have to remove the battery to replace the screen?
This worked perfectly for me. I just bought the assembly instead of going through the full deal (which if I had it would have saved me about 30 bucks overall). But was easy enough to do anyway. I still intend to get the digitizer/glass and finish so I have a spare for future breaks. (I have kids and they are hard on these tablets)
