Hat wunderbar funktioniert! Nun läuft mein P8 Lite wieder!

One thing to be careful of that I just did, and screwed up my nieces phone.

You see that black square hole in the aluminium chassis under the battery? Yeah be very very careful when sticking your prying tool under the battery. The LCD us right behind it. Try and stay very far away from those holes in the chassis when you do your prying.

Her screen now has Horizontal and vertical lines right across the centre of the screen.

Sigh.
