Warning: When replacing the glass on an iPhone 3G, don't use pdaparts.com's video!

Pdaparts.com has a video showing how to replace the glass on an iPhone 3G. These instructions are INVALID and will risk destroying your LCD. Please look at leewaterman’s HD video instead.

Specifically, what Pdaparts do wrong is they try to remove the LCD from the frame by loosening it from the bottom, breaking it free from the frame. However, the latches holding the LCD in place are placed along the edges. If you pry too hard along the bottom, you will break the crystals in your LCD! This will look like slightly colorful ink or oil blots where and near where you applied too much pressure.

The correct procedure is to unhinge the latches along the edges. leewaterman’s video shows exactly how this is done.
