I did it!

Mijn probleem

My husband dropped his phone and shattered his screen. No other choice but to fix it myself.

Mijn oplossing

The iSclack tool was awesome. I'm going to repair a friend's phone, so I bought it. Took 1.5 hours start to finish, including my adhesive melting problem. I almost gave up then came up with a solution. I tore the copper shield that holds the ear piece connection set on. It did not mess up the repair.

Mijn advies

For melting the adhesive, if you don't have a special heat tool as shown in the tutorial, use a cloth bag filled with dried peas. Microwave the bag for 3 min and set on phone to release adhesive. Give it at least 2 minutes of heat. Be super careful peeling off the copper heat shield. That tore on me even though I was pretty careful. It did not interfere with the repair though- I just ignored it and stuck it back together during reassembly. Use a piece of paper with double sided tape to hold the screws in place in numbered squares that correspond with the tutorial. It was very helpful during reassembly. I purposely chose a white screen and kept the black home button for my repair. He had a black screen before.
