Hello, thank you for this but it’s only half the steps, how to remove the LCD and touch screen after step 5? Something else is holding it in place. Can lift the outer edge a little only. Possibly it is glue or tape? My touchscreen is always active and focus rectangle moving around the lower part of screen. Can touch screen and it will go there but soon moves back to lower area.

Thank you.
