Hi Felix. That's because it requires micro-soldering.

Micro-soldering flexes is tricky because you can easily melt the flex so this is really beyond what a DIY fixer should handle. If you have the tools and skills to do this kind of work, then you don't really need an iFixit guide ;>).

Look for an experienced micro-solderer in our area.

There are lots of great videos on Youtube. Ultimately, ill need a good quality temperature controlled soldering iron and hot air station, flux and good tweezers and go from there.
