    To add to my previous comment, the second screen turned out to be slightly smaller and partly incompatible and glitchy (damn eBay seller sent me an incompatible screen, that just happened to sorta work).

    So I ordered the third screen for it, the now busted one I’m using now. It’s only busted because of the previously mentioned humidity infiltration causing the touchscreen to go nuts, so I smacked the screen with my palm to try to reseat the connections without opening it back up.

    I actually can’t open this phone back up without destroying the currently cracked screen, the double sided tape caught between the front glass and the screen, and any attempt to try to remove it is trying to peel the screen layers apart now.

    These plus other reasons related to the Right To Repair struggles is why I quit working on mobile technology for anyone other than myself. The big companies simply try to make things impossible to fix these days ☹️
