this guide is really bad, dangerous and should be removed !

at step 3 you crack and kill the existing display. If it was still somewhat working before now you are assured it is completely dead !

agreed, step 3 should use the opening tool on a top corner of the bezel, not against the screen. you just screwed up the screen if it worked at all
