When removing the digitizer be sure to disconnect the connector for the sim card/sd card before removing the digitizer.

Just FYI, having got this far and realised you can just replace the screen if it cracked. It looks like you just heat up the screen to soften the seal and pull off the screen without the need to replace the digitiser. It’s certainly quicker, easier and cheaper to do this is its just the screen that’s cracked. I need a digitiser now as it didn’t survive the strip down. Not sure if its economic to repair now!
