[QUOTE="bgsq6c, post: 814857, member: 85175"] Well I have tried resetting the cables several times and I am convinced that it is the third cable. I know the number 1 cable is the lcd and the number 2 cable is the touch screen digitizer and both of those work fine. The third cable hooks up differently and I cannot get it to slide under the connector like it supposed to. Overall the screen removal went alright. I followed a youtube tutorial and it helped a lot. The worst part is removing the digitizer from the frame. That probably takes about 30 min just blowdrying and scraping the old glass off. If everything goes smoothly it is definitely worth it to fix on your own. I got the new digitizer for $28 and then I would recommend buying the double-sided fitted tape for it as well which is only $6. If anyone knows the specific function of that number 3 cable please let me know so I know there still might be hope. As of now, I think I fixed it enough for apple to replace it. Is that a bad idea or does anyone know if that will work out? [/QUOTE]
