  • Next use safe pry then lightly pry off at the back to loosen the adhesive holding the LCD screen. Make sure not to scratch or damage the flex cable.
  • Now pry off the front screen to completely separate the front housing to the digitizer and the LCD screen.
  • Reheat the touch screen to loosen the rest of the adhesive to take away the LCD screen from the digitizer. Make sure not to dig too far in to keep away from damaging the LCD screen.

Is it possible to replace the charging port on the rez? Anyone know if the port can easily be disconnected? Seen any pics or even better, vids showing this? How about sales of replacement ports?
I haven't had much luck, but I'm hoping someone else has.
