But what kind of glue do we need to use when we reconnect the screen and the case?
screen replacement is possible without removing the back cover and logic board, similar to the Z1 compact. Simply remove the metal cover once you took the screen off to disconnect the lcd/digi cable.
Yeah, I'm confused as to why everything from the back needs to be taken out, when you have to heat up the front sticker anyways and disconnect it. Seems fairly simple to just heat up, cut side adhesive, lift, unplug.
Have you done the repair that way, Toby Liedke?
