Can LCD and outer screen be separated on Nokia Lumia 1020?

Thanks for your reply.

I already have the LCD screen separator machine but due to the lumia 1020 being so new, I wasn't sure if it was possible to separate.

I think I'll go ahead and attempt it, I'll use OCA when putting it back together as it doesn't need a uv lamp.

I may put together a tutorial and upload it to help someone else if it can.

Again, thanks for replying.

I dropped my phone this morning while getting out of the car.

Everything works fine except that there is a crack on the screen on one corner.

Did you ever make a guide to remove/replace the front screen?

@jack. did you follow the link in my answer to the video?

I beg to differ. A full LDC assembly (at least in Germany, where I live) cost me around €130 (~$138) when I first repaired my 1020 (it was brand new and landed flat on the glass, so I thought screw it!). Then it happened again a year and a half later and although prices for new LCD assemblies had dropped slightly (around €95 now), I decided to go for the digitizer-replacement-only method this time. Bought a digitizer glass (~ €20, tools included), UV-adhesive (~ €5), adhesive-remover (~ € 3), and a UV-lamp (~ € 15). For a total of under € 45 (~ $48) and with the aid of a heat source (conventional blowdryer) and a plastic playing card, I was able to replace my LCD digitizer at less than half the cost of a full LCD assembly -which is admittedly easier to install, but hey, aren't we in for the fun of tinkering with things too? ;-)

Unfortunately I couldn't make a video guide, as I don't have an extra camera...
