Does anyone know if the adhesive strips are able to be purchased separately? I have taken my screen off several times and would like to replace them,

When I used my adhesive strips for the first time, I cut the strips in half and put then on the sides, top, and bottom so the filter could stay on there securely. Here is a link to get more adhesive tape. http://www.amazon.com/Adhesive-Sticker-Digitizer-Supersonic-Incredible/dp/B004WIQW3U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1404923925&sr=8-3&keywords=3m+computer+adhesive+strips

Sounds like your screwdriver is too big. When dealing with these tiny screws, a nice sharp point helps. I've replaced numerous screens and only had one screwdriver sent to me dull. That will strip your screws easily. Once they're stripped is another problem though. May need to take it to a pro now. Take your screen with you. That may help lower the cost if you provide the hardware and they just charge you for labor. Some shops will only use their own screens though just a heads up. Good luck!

Yes, the adhesive is included. This is only the screen though. You will most likely need the one with the LCD screen included. Same seller and works great.

Just the screen and I can't recall if there is adhesive. Generally you would just heat up the existing adhesive. There are no tools. I wouldn't recommend this kit. It is incredibly hard to do it correctly. I saw a kit with the screen, bezel and bracket included for an extra $20-30. That means, you just unscrew your board and put it on the new kit. No glue, no heating up, no special care, no breaking glass! I am good at these sort of DIY projects and ended up breaking the bezel flaking off paint. Also, there is a ghost in the screen if you don't get 100% contact. I recommend the kit with bezel.

Your question is going out to other shoppers like yourself not to the seller. There is a separate link for contacting the seller. However personally I would not want to buy just the glass because from experience separating and/or rejoining the LCD and the glass usually results in failure of one or both. Way cheaper and and easier to replace the digitizer and the LCD as a unit.

Jerry, it's pretty easy to replace these screens. I knew how to (but looked up video on YouTube to make sure I did it correctly).

you don't need adhesive tape to install the digitizer. However, you have to make sure it is the right connector cause unfortunately for me it didn't work.. The replacement has the same amount of pins (80 pins ) as the original one. Once I installed it and did not work. I had to use a magnifier lent to check if the tape was ripped off. then I compared it with the original one and to my surprise they both different.. You should ask the seller to take a zooming picture of the connector then compare with the one you have..

Yes! The tools are the same. I was able to replace the screen very easily (mind you, I had 0 experience doing so..) just follow instructions provided on YouTube. Remember: do not touch the LCD screen on the bottom, smudges or even drops of liquids will never come off! Wear gloves at all times if possible and be careful with heating gun- it could get hot while removing the original glue from cracked glass. Also, you may want to replace old glue with superglue gel.Best of luck! And just do it yourself!! Everyone out there wants to charge over $100.?

Does your screen still work fine, other than having cracks in the glass? If so, then this will work. If not, you need a whole unit.I own this product, but havent installed it yet. Be advised that replacing the whole unit is probably an easier operation. Also be aware that this item took like WEEKS to arrive. (It shipped from overseas.)

We did not use the tape nor did we have a need to. The glass is already sticky so when u get the broken glass off u can just peel the film from replacement glass and it should stick just fine. Mine did. U will needed to rub the glass to make sure the replacement glass sticks and lays fine though. U tube has some good vidoes regarding screen rrplacement. Good luck!

The seller above and the product info keep mentioning "adhesive strips" but NONE are included. My wife got me this for Christmas, but it's going back because most of the walls we'll be using it on are wallpapered. There's no way we're putting additional holes (that won't be covered by pictures or other items) into the wallpaper just to use this level. This package desperately needs the adhesive strips (as long as they're removable), or better yet, a good suction cup wall mount.

My personal advice is to buy the tape. They are easier to apply, more clean. If you prefer amore professionals way, buy loca glue.. beware, they are messy, and you will need uv light machine. Without the light, it won't set. Also, if you're carefully when you take of the broken glass, you don't need to buy adhesive bc there is a thick layer in between the digitalized glass and the lcd screen. Lift a corner first, then insert a thin plastic ruler horizontally in between the two screen, and try to wiggle it free. Clean out the broken pieces with a tweezer, then put the new screen on. If you do this step carefully, you don't have to buy adhesive, if you don't, there will be a lot of sweating and swearing when you try to clean out the old adhesive. It hard. Then use the tape. If you use the loca glue, then buy the light also, cure it , then you are done. Hope this will help.

it seems to me that the adhesive in on the glass replacement. but if i were you i would still buy a roll of adhesive, just in case

I would personally be hesitant to use the glue. However, the tape alone didn't really suffice for me. I purchased a pre-cut adhesive (packaged similarly to a screen protector) Excellent results.

The adhesive is actually a thin strip that goes only around the boarder right outside the digitizer. Be carful not to put it on the digitizer because that will cause your touch screen to have defects.
