Types of Screens (Important)

Before starting, you should know there are two main types:

• Screen Only (Without Frame): Difficult, requires separating display from frame
• Screen With Frame (Recommended): Easier, components are transferred into a new frame

💡 For beginners, always choose a screen with frame for a safer repair.
