I appreciate that this guide exists, but could you specify which screws to remove? What size are they? And most importantly, what's the screen number? I can't find it on Amazon at all.

Thank you for your efforts.

Hey, it’s been some time but as I remember you do not need to remove any screws (as per the post). You just need to unplug the screen cable.

As per the screen itself, the part might have gone from Amazon or the part number changed. Maybe Ebay or AliBaba would have it?

I have replaced the screen, it's now as easy as you explained. The double sided tape used was very hard to take out. But alas, it works now.
