So much easier than any modern smatphones. Just be careful not to mix up different screws. Thanks for the guide.

Be extra careful removing / installing those ribbon flex cables. I think I damaged mine, so the screen and the buttons on the back cover no longer work and I may need to buy new parts. In order to disconnect the cables from ZIF connectors in Step 9, the tiny black bar (flap) on the connector needs to be pushed towards the camera bottom, and the cables will come off by themselves. When installing the cables back, make sure the black bar is up, align the cables against the connector and close the black bar back, locking the cables.
