Successful replacement! I'm back in business. I followed the steps in both of these links...


(The first link downloads a PDF file (1.17MB), so be prepared.)

Graphical/Written directions

More written instructions

The only issues are...

1. For whatever reason they use use a dark silkscreen downward and a green screen image upward. I can see the edge of the green silkscreen along the left edge. The old digitizer had a dark silkscreen outward so it blended in to the bezel. I can still see the entire screen but it's still an irritating aesthetic flaw. I guess I should have positioned the digitizer a little more right (about 0.5 mm).

2. The glass was a serious pain to remove from the LCD. I tried using a precision screwdriver and finally ended up using the blade of my Leatherman Micra.

BTW, I purchased SPB Backup a few days before my crash and I am glad to say a quick restore brought the system back to pre-crash state. IMHO, it paid for itself already.
