Seems you missed an important step on here. How do you get the front off the box? Show how to remove the speaker grill, the grill cloth and then pry up the digitizer and screen. That’s where all the f***ing screws are!!! That’s how you get into this damned thing!! But you left all that ‘unimportant’ stuff out.
