If I am going to do the repair by myself is this difficult? and will I need anything else to replace my broken screen besides this LCD?

It's not terrible difficult took me about 15 min you would need a precision tool kit, a suction cup, and a blow dryer or small heat gun for the glue edges

If your lcd is broken then yes this is what you need. Becareful when removing the screen in front of lcd -- you'll need a heat gun to warm up glue to make t easier to take off and can melt edges as well as crack it. It's hard to do with out experience

if you are fairly good with fixing things this repair isn't difficult at all. you will need a heat gun to take off the glass as a hair dryer is not adequate. you can follow this youtube repair for more info on how to... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKsPUiink4A. also if you crack your glass it's pretty cheap on amazon Apple MACBOOK PRO 15" /15.4" Front LCD Glass/Bezel cover for A1286 MB470LL/A

Bottom line, yes the overall job is difficult.I shattered my original glass cover when removing it with a suction cup and heat gun. Warning: the original screen cover is real glass and did actually shatter like a car window (glass didn't fly everywhere and is adhered to a plastic film but was sharp). Be prepared to buy another cover or have one on hand during the job. Take your time with the suction cup, heat gun, and guitar picks. Don't force the glass screen cover off and let the heat gun melt the adhesive.Once you have the glass cover off the swap is easy and straight forward. This LCD fixed my flickering display issue. There is a good tutorial on one of the i fixit websites. Bottom line, yes the overall job is difficult.I shattered my original glass cover when removing it with a suction cup and heat gun.

This will replace your cracked glass on the screen NOT the LCD screen. HOWEVER Samsung glues the glass and the LCD together and is very difficult to separate the two without damaging or scratching the LCD. If your not good at this sort of thing have someone do it for you.

I wouldnt recommend doing the screen replacement by yourself. I broke my phone doing it. yes it comes with the tools but the picks are vary weak.

Yes i received this product and it comes with everything you need to preform the screen swap , adhesive, digitizer and screw drivers and kit, ... hint of advise watch a extensive video on step by step replacement screen if you never done before, the LCD and digitizer are really stuck together so pulling wrong can pull the lcd and you will have a bigger issue. Hope this helps

It's all one piece but everything I needed to replace the LCD screen was there except tools but if you have a precision screw driver set that shouldn't be an issue. Just be careful taking all the small pieces apart.

The digitizer IS the glass, the LCD is behind that; usually when its broken it is only the digitizer/glass and that is why your screen may still work. If the screen still works under the broken glass/digitizer you actually only need to replace that which is about 1/2 the price but MUCH harder to do as you have to separate the digitizer from the LCD

The LCD screen is replaceable but you would have to heat the screen up with like a hair dryer because of the adhesive. I only paid $85 for a whole screen glass and LCD. got online and loomed up how to do it. Its not that hard except u have to have a size 3 torx bit (6-point screwdriver) I had to order it online as well. But it'd way cheaper than having g to pay $150 for a repairman.

That's what mine was.I replaced my screen and it works great.Its wicked easy , you can do it yourself just look up a video on youtube.

Obviously from the other responses yes, but keep in mind, while trying to install it, I cracked the LCD... $200 replacement...but that could be just me. Good luck!

If the screen isn't coming up with weird colors, it's just the glass and digitizer. The steps to replace the screen are complicated, so if you don't feel comfortable replacing it yourself, I suggest getting a professional to do it for you.

That is correct, however on mine I thought this was the case, but after replacing the glass I did note that the lcd had a bad spot that I was unable to notice before I swapped the glass out, so if it is smashed and you are not sure, the lcd may have a bad spot under the glass that you can not see. I thought this kit was great, cheap and fairly easy to replace, in my case I am fine with a bad pixel or two and am quite happy with the end result, If you are unsure if the lcd is perfect, you may end up with a bad pixel you didn't know you had, just so you know :) Good luck!

If you are tech savvy enough to replace the LCD screen yes. But its a pain in the ass to remove the old LCD they didn't make the things to come apart. You basicly have to break the old LCD out of the phone. There are how to videos on you tube.

All that you need to replace the screen comes along. Just follow youtube instructions and you´ll be fine.

You broke the LCD, you're going to need at least a new LCD, probably the "easiest" thing would be to simply get a new LCD/digitizer glass assembly and swap out the whole unit.

If you screen is still working that means only the front glass is broken.However, it's challenging to remove it and change it.It would be better get a new LCD screen...

No, you would need a new LCD screen. Additionally, you might have a damaged main-board, this is something you have to test for.

The job is tedious. You must remove all remnants of the broken screen. Then you must apply adhesive. Connect a ridiculously short lcd connector. Then install the lcd and bezel. Those are the steps but it can easily be 5 hours. Plus curing time for the adhesive.
