Step 21 – LCD & Touch Screen Digitizer
•At this time, the LCD & touch screen are fused
together and cannot be separated. They are
secured to the frame of the phone using a lot of
adhesive that will require heat and patience to
separate. This procedure is recommended only on
phones with CRACKED or ALREADY BROKEN
screens that require replacement. The separation of
the LCD & touch screen digitizer could cause
damage to a perfectly working LCD or touch screen.
