Has anyone replaced a screen and digitizer for the nokia lumia 830?

[Windows Central Question]

I dropped my lumia 830 and it cracked the screen pretty badly. I ordered an have the replacement screen with the digitizer, however I can find videos galore for every phone but the 830. Any help is welcomed.

Hello, this is mostly because the 830 is still relatively new.. After a quick search I found this vid (Does not show how to replace anything, but does show you how to disassemble the phone):

Hope you have prying tools. This design is really annoying... The 820/920 were much easier to work with.

Having those tools are a must nowadays lol

Thank you so much. I saw the video taking it apart, it is intense. I luckily have the tools

What did you drop it on? Doesn't the 830 have Gorilla glass?

It's more about where the glass made impact with the surface. There is no lip around the screen so it is easy to impact a corner.

If you want to know how big the crack is you look at what it was dropped on haha

Well, an easy solution to the lack of lip around the screen is to get a case that has one, right? My Trident case has a rubber and plastic-enforced lip around the corners of the screen. I suppose its not really a solution for people who like the inter-changeable shells, though.

True. Not a big fan of cases on phones like the 830 though.
Not some generic cookie cutter plastic phone

Would be great if Lumias had the amount of quality case options available for iPhones.
