Wow. Thank you so much. I will do this when I get my replacement screen.

Finally tried this and noticed you left out the most difficult part which is the part of putting on the actually replacing the screen. This is only for removal of the screen. And the instructions are definitely not the same backwards. You left out the part with the cable/wires closing with the hinges being the most difficult part. I actually forced the cable too much stripped the cable that goes around the new screen. Have to order new cable now ugh
