the last three times my phone screen broke, charlie replaced the screen for me. it flew out of my hands onto the floor the other week, and the screen cracked again, so i bought a replacement and attempted the replacement myself. 
welp, that didn’t go as planned. i think the directions i was following were not the greatest, because either it or missed a connection, which broke even at the slightest tug (i suppose when it’s been messed around with five times, it’s bound to break sometime). i think it was the earpiece, but we’ll see.
now i’ve put it together and i’m waiting for the battery to kick in. i’ve got it plugged in waiting to see what happens, but so far nothing. 
might be phone shopping tomorrow 🙁 
 
and that’s why i let charlie replace my screens!
