Introduction
The digitizer and the LCD are fused together. It is necessary to replace both, unless somebody has the equipment to release the bond between those LCD and the digitizer. This is a straight forward repair with no surprises and no hidden cables, clips or screws.
What you need
-
-
-
The front display is adhered to the frame. It will be necessary to use a heatgun (on very low) or a good hairdryer to loosen the glue.
-
Apply the heat on the outside of the display. Do not stay to long in one are, move the heat continously around the outside of the display.
-
With the glue soft enough, use a small spatula, screwdriver or other small tool to separate the display from the frame.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. The frame should have enough adhesive to provide a secure grip. If additional glue should be necessary, preference should be given to rubber cement. This will ensure that, should another display replacement be necessary, the glue will come off with heat again.

Can just the glass be removed on this device like the Galaxy S3 Meaning is the digitizer attatched to the glass or is it like the S3 where the digitizer is not attatched to the glass?
