    • Disconnect the display assemble flex cable.

    Don't do what I did and try to separate the display with the plastic frame - until I realized my mistake. I broke the glue line which makes the phone water proof to some extent, but tried to re-glue the frame by using the heat gun.

    • Now we a ready to install the new display.

    In this step, I noticed a small difference between original screen and replacement screen. The original screen had a smal, oddly shaped, transparent plastic piece on the back of the display cable. The replacement display had not. On the second picture of step 1 in this tutorial, you can see that the replacement display shown here does not have this either.

    I figured, it might help, keep the cable firmly attached to the phone, since it fills up the space, into which the cable could bend.

    It was really easy to peel of from the original cable with the Spudger. The adhesive was not too strong and the bonding surface was really smal, too. But I had to be carefull with the tiny electronic pieces on the cable. I think, the odd shape is because of the small area and those tiny pieces.

    On my replacement display, the plastic piece fitted well and since it was still sticky, I just placed it there. You have to be super careful, not to damage those tiny electronic pieces and try not to put the plastic piece on top of one.

Beware! There’s no mention of removing the battery door and taking out the 4 screws that hold the screen assembly in place. If you don’t do that and then pry to hard when trying to remove the screen I’m pretty sure you’ll end up breaking something ;)

Krister Turoy, I think you are wrong. I just removed the screen and there were no screws. Be careful not to mix um Z1 compact and XZ1 compact or something else.

There has a tips to remove screen directly and won’t break.

Let’s open the lower part first (that less of the sticker and it close to the edge). Heat can help here. (Do it carefully, if still feel hard to open it, try heat up again, don’t use just force).

When you success open lower part. Open it a little to see space that you can see through from right side of the phone to the left side.

Use needle and yarn. Send it through that space (becarefull it should be a space between pair cable and back of the screen). Now we have a yarn line that we will use to cut the glue until finish up to upper part of the screen. Still need a heat in process. But more safer and it won’t break your screen :)

Again. Needle and yarn method must send in a space between pair cable and back the of screen. NOT a space between pair cable and phone body. Because we will use it to cut sticker glue from near bottom-middle part to a top part of the screen and we don’t want it the cut the pair cable.

There had another risk in replace a screen.

If the new screen have defect in their circuit. When you put it to the phone, it will destroy an displaying interface of the phone.

If it happen, the phone it done for, replace a new screen couldn’t help anymore. It’s will always black. No backlight shining.

The phone still work if you see the notification LED and sound. But without screen. It’s done for. (You could call it half death).

I just experience it myself yesterday. The new screen kill my phone in that way. Now I’m looking for a way to fix, but still cannot find any hope.

Replace mother board could help but It would like buying a new phone (don’t forget that still need to find a new screen that not kill you phone again). If that so I will choose my phone to RIP instead. Sad but I must overcome this.
