I guess you don't have electronics experience how to do it .. do you ?
Those that work as repair technicians as I do, don't use table without proper ground anti-static mat, that is must, and that cluster moving around the table hmm ... I don't use screw driver to remove the old lcd...,
as electronic repair tech, I would be embarrassed to post this video

i work on bga stuff all day. never a problem. i work out of a room in my home. i do what i do to pay my bills. you can hate all you want. i dont care. what i do works and i have lots of satisfied customers. im not using a screwdriver either. it is only to pull up the ribbon after the hot air melts the solder enough to loosen it. i also fix abs modules, maybe you should have contacted me.
i do me7 emission deletes and immo2/3 deletes.

I invested in my business, my product I use is my own product that I manufacture, but again you are getting away from post, I would be embarrassed to post your installation procedure ...
