Applause for the person for uploading this repair.
should go one step further and include digitizer replacement
ok, so to remove the screen from the frame (for digitizer replacement) i set the heat-bed of my 3d printer to 80c, placed the front bezel with screen and digitizer glass side down on the heater and let it sit for about 2 min.
at that point the perimeter glue was soft enough that i could carefully go aroung the lcd with a sharpened gift card and slowly work it away from the glass and frame.
once the lcd is out (hopefully not broken) i used the same method but with a bit more gusto in order to remove the digitizer from the plastic bezel.
revers steps for reinstall.
So if I don't have a heat bed what else would I be able to use?
Too hard i only paid 50$ for it. Oh
