Where did you source the replacement screen? Can we get a link added to the parts list?
Anyone know where to source the replacement screen? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah, I could use the replacement source as well. Thanks.
The tool and suction does not work for me. The adhesive is too strong.

It’s so easy to crack the screen here. I recommend using heat to soften the bond and avoid cracking the screen. Ideally a heating pad ($$$), but a heat gun or hair dryer also does the trick. I’ve seen a temperature range of 80-90 C (matching specs from a heating pad). I heated a pizza stone to temperature to make a homemade heating pad. That worked to soften the adhesive here.

The adhesive is very strong, and they are not just at the edge. Some of them a little further inside, and be careful not to cut the speak grill.
