The cable is from Temu? Lol, it’s the cable. Case solved.
I used a regular hairdryer (with one of the heads that focuses the airflow) on the medium setting. The rest of the tools I just used what came with the new case-- it comes with a big locking suction cup and some thin plastic cards (think credit cards but thinner) for sliding under the edge of the screen to separate the adhesive.
Thanks! Maybe check around phone repair shops maybe you could pay someone to do it.
It was much easier than I expected, I just followed the directions. Heated the screen for about a minute around the edges with my hair dryer, put the included suction cup on and pulled straight out just enough to get these thin plastic cards wedged in. Had to run those around the edges to cut through / peel up the adhesive then I juat pulled and the screen came off. There was a little residual adhesive so scraping that off took some time since I wanted it to be nice and flush.
I prefer frosted personally but hopefully these companies will start putting more options out there. Jsaux doesn’t even have all the colors for the frontplate yet that they do for the back (I think the green would look great for example).
It’s actually a cheap little mechanical keyboard I picked up specifically for my deck, I think it was $25 on Amazon. I’m pretty happy with it. And once I had it and I had the plan of doing the case swap I knew I needed some orange on the deck itself to match 🤩. This kb is actually wired tho the photo is a staged lie hahah
Thank you!! It was definitely kind of draining it’s a long process. but look how pretty it is :D I had just the backplate on before and that itself is a pretty cool little mod!

[https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2610b3a6-1f00-49b4-a741-6e82af0626e3.jpeg] It
took me 4 hours, much of that was slowness at the beginning and meticulous
removal of the old adhesive for the screen. The actual screen removal was so
much easier than I was afraid of. I followed along with both their text & video
guides and it was all pretty straightforward if a little nerve wracking and time
consuming. Very happy with it! If anyone has any questions about the process lmk
60fps at native res. Settings can all be on low. That said plenty of games are playable at 30 or 40fps
