I tried to save a buck and tried to replace the display glass on an s4 that I just paid $150 for. This is what the screen looks like, and I was so gental I can't believe i ruined it:



Chalk up one more bone headed move on my part. I swear I don't know how I made it to 53 years old without making a fatal error along the way.

Kinda looks like it. How did you do that? It looks melted at the bottom.

I was lightly prying up the old cracked glass using a blow dryer and playing cards. It seemed like it came up nicely but obviously broke everything. I was trying to learn something new about android. I figure I can't learn of I don't try.
The only thing I learned is that I need to leave this shit to the pros, which I'll never be.
