I need a new daughterboard because this morning my phone stopped charging. Well I can't decide if I should go and pay someone $80 to do it for me or to do it myself. I've never paid for anyone to repair anything for me before I've always done it myself and I have most of the tools I need to do it (aside from a heat gun) . What has me nervous is taking the screen off. Has anyone else done this and how does it look after? Also did you break the glass?
I just remember the fiasco and mess of replacing my fist iPad Air 2 screen and it seems to be similar. I just don't want a half working phone when I'm done (but also at this point I could've bought a pixel 2 XL with what it's costing me)

So thanks if you have any feedback

I've put 3 screens 1 new daughterboard 1 notification led and put the black glass on the white frame.

Just use plenty of heat, and take your time.

Edit: I broke the glass one time, removing the screen from the top first.
I would recommend a bottom corner as your starting point.

Edit, edit: I just saw your other thread. I don't know if I would replace the daughterboard before I was certain the motherboard was in working order.

Check if your repair shop will do a thorough diagnosis before repair of anything.
