Galaxy S3 yellow screen after front glass replacement

Dear ifixit community,

recently I've found a perfectly working Galaxy S3 in the trash, only the front glass was broken.

I removed it with the help of my heat gun and put a replacement glass on.

I'm afraid that the lcd somehow got damaged in the process. Would someone be willing to take a look at this?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, you may have gotten the LCD a little to warm. It will cause it to change color similar to that. Not much to do but order a replacement. I would just get the lcd/digitizer/glass combo.

changing the glass is really difficult without proper equipment, for the time and effort plus high chance of fail rate its better to just buy the full screen assembly.
