For steps 15 and 16, removing just the glass digitizer from the lcd, does this step happen after you completely remove the lcd from the tablet? It is hard to tell because it looks like the silver from the tablet is present but it takes place in the instructions after the lcd should already be removed and no silver should be present. Any help on this would be appreciated. I have one where the digitizer screen is broken but the lcd has no damage at all.

For step 13, I ripped this motherboard connector trying to get the new lcd in. Anyone have any idea what I have actually damaged? And where I could find out how to fix it?
