Because I’m an idiot, I set my iPod on the cowl of the Fiendish Firefly, whereupon it fell down and into my grinder sparks. Nice. Really ticked me off.
I bought a new digitizer off eBay, which also came with the tools to do the replacement.
Tips:
- Review a couple of tutorials online. They all help.
- Take your time popping the screen out.
- Use a hair drier to soften the adhesive to get the digitizer off its wee plastic frame.
- Use Acetone and a Q-tip to dissolve the adhesive residue
If I were to do it all over again, I’d recommend getting a new digitizer that comes with a new plastic frame. The original had more adhesive around the edges, and without that “extra” adhesive, there are wee gaps around the screen now. Oh well.
