Guide is great. Step by step.
At the end you could probably forgo taking out the motherboard, but better safe than sorry. Only hard part was re-attaching the screen to the zip connector again. Small space, used a flat spidger to flip the zip connector down once I had the connector strip in place.
Thank you for this guide saved me $140 on a GPS.
