Final step is missing on pulling the ribbon through front bezel caused me to break cable. Thanks a lot ! DS is ruined
Final step is missing ribbon removal but paying careful attention, you can roll the cable up and pull it through. Remember to never be forceful!
If you’re planning on a full disassembly (e.g. full shell replacement) this is the best guide to help.
There’s a few steps missing at the end. After separating the lcd screen adhesive from the front bezel, you need to run the wifi, mic, and lcd ribbon cables through the hole to remove the screen completely (be careful with this, take out the mic and wifi cable first, then gently roll the lcd ribbon cable until it fits through the hole). If you’re replacing the front bezel, You’ll want to take the metal ring on the bottom left, and the hinge piece on the bottom right (when looking at step 28 image). They should both come out easily especially the hinge piece, assuming a broken hinge. Those need to be put on the new bezel. There is a small piece of plastic in the hinge piece, don’t lose it! It can come out leave holes where the power indicator light is. Make sure that piece of plastic is in the hinge piece before putting it in the new bezel, it requires some force to put in AND take out!
