Does the lcd separate from the digitizer screen or do both need to be replaced if the digitizer is cracked?

Allan Wilson - Nov 6, 2018

Typically one can separate the LCD from the glass, but it is a difficult and painful process, and it almost always cracks the LCD. If the cost is not prohibitively expensive, I would just replace them together as one unit.

Wouldnt care to install digitizer back but if I can see how to install screen components that be good.

Carry on.
