Perfect! Thank You!

Removing the logic board is completely unnecessary and you risk damaging more components. Follow steps 1-3, 11, 20-22, 26, 30-34. Obviously be careful not to damage the board when you are actually taking the display off.

Beau - Contestar

Beau is correct . It isn't necessary at all to remove the logic board. Steps 1-3, 11, 20-22, 26, 30-34 are all that needs to be done.

For screen replacement only i did not have to remove board. So steps 16-19, 23-25, 29 are not needed.

Be careful on the step 12, my speaker connector fell off, I had to do some soldering to fix that. It is very gentle.

Excellent guide, however, I would like to note that removing the logic board is completely unnecessary. In the process of doing so, I ended up breaking my right speaker socket from the logic board. The simpler method is to just unscrew the display hinge, antenna, and isight cable, then remove and replace display.
