This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The other super useful tool to have is a heat gun. Go grab one from Harbor Freight for like $20 while they are on sale. This allows you to melt the adhesive they use to hold the screen in place

Apple has a self repair program where they send you the tools and parts needed for the repair that you return the tools and broken parts when you're done.

Haven't done one myself since I but I've read of others success stories with the process. The parts are not as cheap as going third party but if you're buying your owns tools it might end up cheaper overall.
