Awesome guide. Helped me alot. However i got blank screen after installing the new screen. Dont panic. You must replace the tape that covers the lcd filters. If you dont the metal plate will bridge the connections and the LCD will not display. I thought i broke the LCD however just replaced the tape off the original LCD and BOOM!

What are the filters? I have a repair shop and all screens are like these. Can't find them anywhere.

Hi, you need to reuse the black tape sticked on the original flex cable to cover the filters on the replacement part.
