Shattered glass, shattered heart (Optimus G)

Part arrived awesomely packed. Couldn’t expect more!
Shattered phone beside new front assembly.
Okay, let’s start!
Remove mid-cover (contains earpiece and vibration motor)
Remove battery and lower cover (contains loudspeaker, & 3G antenna)
Removed lower PCB containing microphone, USB port and front touch button lights.
Removed main board, camera module, earphone jack & sensors, volume buttons, power button.
Start by putting back all the small bits into the new front assembly.
And then the main board and lower PCB.
Lower cover followed up mid-cover.
Booting up … Tension …
There! Good as new!
Google somehow automatically put together an animated GIF for me, so I’m sharing it here for your viewing pleasure.
Two details photos of the phone (sorry about the smudgy finger prints).
