It was more challenging than I thought. Reconnecting the antenna wires wasn’t easy. I needed better vision and dexterity to find it easier. Don’t forget to reuse the adhesive tape or you may be disappointed.

Just to confirm. You have to tear apart the bottom just to replace the led screen? Can't just remove the bezel?
