In this guide you will be shown how to completely disassemble the entire device in order to fix the screen. Broken screens are usually caused by two issues: either the glass/plastic screen is cracked, or the LCD behind said screen is malfunctioning. When replacing only the screen be careful not to damage the LCD as it is fairly delicate. The hardest part is separating the LCD screen and Front Glass. This replacement does not require soldering and there are only three screws that need to be removed and accounted for.
