I was replacing my current old lcd with my new one but when it came to putting the metal shield on i could unscrew two and the others would not unscrew how can i solve this? i tried everything i was making my self sick cause i felt like i was about to lose my phone !! can i cut the two tabs off? please help! Update! i bent the tabs in just a little to fit the frame but is there anything else i can do instead of this everything worked but my screen wouldnt close all the way
Cutting those two tabs off is not a good idea. The screws used are PH000. If you could provide some photos of the part you are stuck on, that would be helpful for determining your issue.
If you’re talking about the side-frame screws that hold the LCD shield in place the can be snapped off carefully. Is it ideal? No, but it can be done. Or you can purchase another backplate and be done with it.
Did you strip the screws that hold the shield in place? If so, I did one time, and just dremeled the heads off the screws not hurting the shield, then replacing the screws. You don’t want to cut those tabs, but only if you are going to replace the shield.
