I am trying to change the LCD on my MacBook Air a1369 as per this video.

I've removed the bezel and the PCB. Easy enough so far, the guy Loius Rossman says heats needed to take the bezel but it's not if you use the right tools. Pcb came off easily too.

The screen on the other defo requires heat but my question is how much. I will be using a aoyue 2703a+, it's digital but no idea how hot I can go without damaging the backlight layers....

Not sure if you've checked it out already...but you could try ifixit.com for the procedure. Maybe ifixit goes into detail about this.

Ifixit don't even cover this repair. It's a hard job to remove the LCD, they only recommend replacing the full assembly....
