Can I take the old screen off and put this new one on myself?

I had no problem. I ordered a replacement. When it arrived, I found a video on line that showed step by step what to do. You just have to be careful with the wires. It took less than an hour.

I did! I had found a youtube video on how to do it step by step. It was a lot easier than I thought. I had a basic idea on how to do it, but glad I found the video to make sure I unplugged the webcam just right, and the power supply to the screen. Took maybe 15 mins to do. And that was watching the video and stopping it at each step to make sure I did it right. Easy to do!

yes it is quite easy to do, took me no more then 10 minutes. There is a you tube video on how to do it.

yes, you may may want to look up a youtube video and the service manual but its pretty straight forward if you skilled with tools. Just be sure to use a delicate touch, be aware of static, and do not leave the laptop plug in or leave its battery in. Also be aware that attempting it yourself will more than likely invalidate your warranty if you have one.

Yes, you have to remove the metal frame from the old screen. Heat the screen a bit using hair dryer to remove it. Don't use metal tools. There are tutorials on youtube.

Yes. It had a peel off piece of plastic covering the pre-applied adhesive. We took the old screen off before ordering it, so all we had to do was peel the plastic, plug it in and press it on.

Best to check the back of your current screen, wich is not verry hard to get to. You take the front frame off wich has no screws and then take the screen off wich has only 4 screws.carefull dont pull it off because its still connected. Compare your model number of the screen with the one on hear make sure they are the same.

You may need to consider that one of the casing pieces included in this set is precisely the backplate that goes glued in the back of the digitizer and screen glass, so if you don't have a brand new digitizer and screen glass, anyway you will need to detach the old glass and digitizer from the old casing, and that will be challenging as you said in your question.

I'm not quite understanding you, but I'm thinking that you're asking if you have to take off the original screen protector to use the product and the answer is yes. I removed the old screen protector then placed the product on my screen and haven't had any problems with it.

I can't really remember but I think yes. It came with a screen protector pre-installed to prevent it from being cracked while changing out the old one and then it provided a new one that you slip on. I believe you should be able to but its been about 4-5 months since I replaced mines I can't remember 100% however the one it has, has worked just fine and i've had no issues at all. The kit was well worth the money and the youtube video helped greatly.

No. This is strictly the case for the electronics. not a replacement screen. In fact i was unable to use this in the end as it is extremely difficult to remove the screen without breaking it.

You can, but you have to go through a lot of hoops to do it. The instruction will tell you. The big deal with this is that you must watch out for the LCD display, as if you damage it, it resembles a torn painting. If you do, its cheaper to buy a new one.

You can. There is no real difference with the screen protector on or off. With it off if you damage your screen you may as well buy a new one because repairs are not cheap.

You must replace the glass and digitizer, since they are glued and there's no way you can detach one from other... You must buy the kit with the screen and digitizer.... Hope it helps

It was for my boyfriend who is techy and Yes exact same screen and very simple to replace by yourself. Everything lined up perfectly. By the way, if you are replacing the screen make sure to clean the borders maybe with alcohol on the tab before placing your new screen on it. There is adhesive already on the new screen great bonus

Not easily. First, you'd have to separate the digitizer from the screen, which is virtually impossible; then you'd have to find someone selling a screen without the digitizer, which is also virtually impossible. There is a reason they come together... I used this kit and couldn't be happier - it's been great. I would recommend getting a high quality replacement home button and doing that at the same time since it's easy while the phone is apart.

Take your screen off. It's not too difficult. Remove rubber pads and unscrew the tiny screws. Take out monitor and look at back. It should look identical to the replacement.

i wouldnt know... i delivered the kit without open it to the specialist that changed the glass because i was told that is really dangerous to change it yourself because the screen can break really easy while you are removing the old glass and then you will have to buy the whole screen wich is really expensive. sorry i can be more helpfull and excuse my bad english. bless!

Negative. All of the parts, earpiece, front camera, touch sensor, etc, are all original equipment from your phone. They need to be delicately disconnected from the old screen and reattached to the new one. The New screen comes with tools and directions to do all of this and will take about 2 hours (for me) to complete. I had no problems and only consider myself a medium skilled techie. If you can follow directions, have a decent lights, a delicate touch and some patience, everything should work out fine.
