Hey!!!!!!. I’ve just recently fixed my A7 (2018) screen, and with this screen, you’ll have to remove the old one, and replace it. The adhesive what is on your old screen is very strong, So i advise to use isopropyl alcohol, and/or heat, also with suction, so that you can pry up the screen. Also, Do NOT bent the Flex Cable because it is very delicate, and it will tear easy. All in all, the repair was fun, for a repairman myself, and allowed me to use my talent!!. 10/10 Recommend
