I've done one yesterday, it's the same way as a tab 3 & 4.
Remove the back cover. (difficult because of the hard clips)
Disconnect the top digitizer cable.
Heat the front around the edges, and use a suctioncup with guitarpicks.
Lift of the screen, clean the whole %#*@ thing an stick a new digitizer to the frame.
Connect the digitizer cable.
Click the backcover back in place. ( I had to use a ridicoulus amound of force to make it click)
The digitizer and lcd are not fused together.
It was a model in Holland.
