Glass Replacment?

[jpra923]

I can't seem to find a thread about replacing the screen so I thought I'd start a thread. Does anyone have any good info regarding this?

All if been able to find is that on ebay someone is selling the glass and digitizer for about $80. Can you not just buy the glass? Or is the digitizer part of the glass?

Any info is appreciated,thanks!

The glass is part of the digitizer. Here's a video of taking it apart:
Mobile:YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

It works I just tested it again.

It works! I had to edit the link because it was pointing to the mobile version of youtube in which the same address won't work on a normal browser.

I did see on ebay someone was selling just the glass piece w/o the digitzer: Digitizer Touch Screen Lens AT&T Samsung Captivate i897 - eBay (item 390282414011 end time Feb-20-11 02:33:24 PST)

But I doubt there's any video one someone taking the glass off the digitizer...

Anyone know of a how-to for removing just the glass?
