” i never make mistakes ” except on this video 😀
I also bought the $10 eBay kit, but had to go get extra tools, like the tiny screw driver, and suction cup, got it at home depot, (extra $20.29) but the tool was a very nice kit and the suction cups came in a pack of 3 with able to hold 5 lbs weight.
I did this last night, took me maybe 2 hours, the longest part was trying to put the wire #1,2 back, they keep poping off , but if you don’t feel a small click then it’s not set in yet n the touch screen might not work.
Be careful with wire #3 ,
Your video was near perfect, if only there was some zooming in, it’s kinda hard to see suck small parts from that distance, but it was great.
great
“i dont make mistakes” – saying that was begging for trouble 😉
