Also a number of youtube videos cover this procedure as well.
Supposedly done by people who are doing it for the first time. As someone with a few years of experience repairing cellphones, let me warn you that if you do it the first time as well as the people making the videos do, without cooking the screen to death, or underheating the screen and tearing it, you can get a job in any phone repair shop doing glass replacement.
I've never seen anyone do it without a problem the first time - even after having watched an experienced person do it.
How doable is this repair without having to take it into a repair shop, which I do not have the money to afford(plus my wife WILL kill me).
With no experience? As I said, not very. Which is why a lot of shops will tell you to have the whole screen replaced. The price difference isn't much (replacing the screen isn't much labor, replacing the glass is
a lot of labor, so the total price for the repair is close. (The reason they'd rather do the whole screen is that if they goof and damage the screen, while doing a glass replacement, they eat the price of the screen minus the price of the glass. And not all repair people
can replace the glass. The entire half that you're lifting off has to be within a few degrees of the melting temperature of the adhesive at the same moment. Then the other half. It's not easy.)
