Sam Ellis - Reply

I bought a digitizer with fog and polarizer and a new front glass, it came with the loca. What else do I need to make the complete LCD screen assembly?

The instructions are excessively brief. The photos are insufficient to convey the details of this operation. Attempted and damaged my phone.
