My retainer flap broke before it would move, tried to tape the cable back in place, LCD is totally dead now (wasn't before) even though I heard sounds...
Top tip: check the LCD is in working order before you even take the new parts out of their packaging. I'm going to have to return all mine unfortunately, so glad I checked first.
My screen had spiderweb cracks originating right on part of the edge/frame and it was impossible to slide the picks beyond that point. The only option was to try to lift the "new" side which immediately sent many more cracks across the screen to the other side. At that point there was really no way to get the glass off because both sides where shattered and there was no glass to lift off… First repair that I've ever failed, bummer!
