Xperia Z Full frame+LCD replacement review

This video details the frame assembly replacement (Frame + LCD screen + Touch Panel) on a Xperia Z. I recommend watching the full video before tempting to do this at home. Full assembly replacement VS LCD screen and / or Touch Panel only replacement? Pros: The price is not so much higher than a LCD + Touch Panel only assembly You don’t have to remove the old LCD screen from the original frame which is a hard part You miss the risk of damaging the original frame of the phone while removing the LCD screen It gives a 2nd life to your phone for a reasonable price and less risk Cons: Such an assembly is often not a sony original part: the quality of the buttons for example is clearly not the same, and it's one thing you will always see if you don’t use use a case cover Full Waterproof is no more a guaranty (essentially because of the microphone and speaker protection which has to be unbounded, and then re-bonded) The reusability of the sticker of the edges protections is not a guaranty: it doesn’t impact waterproof, so you can replace it with strong double sided adhesive tape (it’s not the same for the back panel, which need an original adhesive sticker – see details below-) I found such an assembly bundle on this website: (I have no link with this website, you can find similar ones in others places) Replacement Full LCD Display + Touch Screen Digitizer + White Frame for Sony Xperia Z / LT36i http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Replac... Be aware that you need to replace the back door adhesive sticker wich is not reusable once the back panel is removed: For Sony Xperia Z C6603 L36h Battery Back Door Cover Adhesive Sticker http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-So...
