This is not correct at all, all you did was rip the screen off.

To anyone else looking for help use the battery replacement guide for this model and you’ll have much better instructions

I agree with Ender, this is the farthest thing from instructions on how to replace the screen. It’s just photos of how someone pulled the display off the frame. I can’t think of a reason anyone would do this. What’s the point?

Can we take away 30 points?
