I replaced the glass only. This require some quiet time
and good lighting. There are actually 2 ribbon cables-1
ribbon cable is from the digitizer glass screen and is
easily removed with a miniaturized version of the type
of connection used to connect some laptop hard drives.
The black clip slides away from the center of the processor
board to the periphery of the board. The larger of the
ribon cable is removed by rotating a very small arm/clamp
counterclockwise into the processor board. Mine was a
bit sticky in removing the ribbon cable from the second
connector.

I placed each part in order as I removed them and assured
that the unit booted after installing the ribbon cables
and before installing the remaining parts.

One note, the plastic cover for the USB port and the docking
connector is a small separate piece that mus be placed
before "sandwiching" the back piece back on to the unit
and securing with the 4 torx screws.

As mentioned in other places the basic steps are:
1)remove slide out back panel and battery
2)remove 4 torx screws and pull case back off the pronto
exposing the processor board.

3)remove the 3 torx screws affixing the processor board
to the mounting posts.
4)gently remove the 2 ribbon cables as instructed above.
5)the channel/vol button row and a rectangular mounting
/spacer piece wil likely pop out, and the contact pad
for all the hard buttons will also pop out
6)you will be left with lcd screen embedded and protected
by a metal rectangular case to which the flat glass lcd
screen is affixed (aggressively).

7) Use an exacto blade and separate the glass at the junction
to the metal frame and separate the glass (which may split
into 2 elements-glass/plastic) from the metal frame. The
ribbon cable connected to the digitizer glass is adhered
to the back side of the lcd cage and can be slow separated
by gently pulling.
8)Scrape/clean all the adhesive residue from the metal
frame.
9)Take out the new glass digitizer screen-placing the
digitizer ribbon cable in the same place as before it
was removed. Remove plastic protection from anterior and
posterior surfaces new digitizer glass. Remove paper cover
from 1/8" double backed tape and line up accurately and
align/place on to metal frame.

10) Put humpty dumpty back on the wall.

Good luck.

Thanks for this post it helped me out big time. Thanks again!!!
