My Problem
Broken glass
My Fix
Everything went well except for the step where the LCD panel is removed. There is very strong adhesive tape across the bottom that must be removed before the LCD panel can be moved. The guide said to lift the LCD panel and ease off the tape. This was a mistake because the LCD panel snapped with only the slightest lifting. I should have pealed the tape off before lifting the LCD. This turned a $70 job into a $170 job. With tax and shipping it ended up costing as much as if I had just taken it to Apple!
My Advice
The advice is to be EXTREMELY careful when lifting the LCD. It is VERY thin and breaks VERY easily. The tape should be removed while the LCD is laying flat and then the LCD can be lifted and laid over on top of the glass panel.
