My second attempt to install backlight
My first time I had to remove the bottom layer was a big misery! See video or image below:
Therefore, before I start again, I would like some tips on how you can best remove the bottom layer from the screen. I don't want to screw this up again! I have 96% alcohol for this time...
Love to hear from you!

Re: My second attempt to install backlight
Which mod/kit are you using? I personally only know that generally people discourage removing the polarized layer.

Re: My second attempt to install backlight
Oh wow, now I understand it. Are all of those marks scratches or are some of them runmarks from the adhesive? I would also try to get a really thin razor blade for removal and probably help with a cue-tip with some alcohol from the side while pulling the silver back off, but other than that...

Re: My second attempt to install backlight
Well, friend of mine did it for the second time yesterday and he fixed it pretty well! I'll just give it a try and will let you know...
