Hi , thanks this info is great . My G7 has a broken touch screen but works fine . I have seen replacement screens and units which include the digiboard ? So do I need to still remove the pcb or just the frame to get to the edge of the touch screen ? is it easy to replace the touch sreen alone ? look forward to your reply . Regards Carl.

Step 8 - the battery stock very much, I inserted a credit card in between the casing and the battery to detach it. I guess that bending the battery is very dangerous!

Step 15 - This part means the black flat cable with the three buttons ;-)

Step 16 - The new display needed a small film of glue

Hi, the power on connector on my main board has the plastic clip missing is there a way I can connect them together, they seem too small for soldering.
