Overview: The iPhone 3G glass and LCD screen repair can be completed by most people with avarage technical ability. The iPhone 3G screen is made up of 3 core layers which is the glass/digitizer, midframe, and LCD. You first need to determine which components are broken. If the glass is broken but the LCD screen still displays the image correctly then you only need the glass/digitizer component. If both the glass is broken and the LCD is not displaying correctly, then you need both the glass/digitizer and LCD.
The iPhone screen components are layered in the following order. The glass/digitizer is fixed to the midframe with double sided tape. The LCD attaches to the bottom side of the mid-frame. It's critical no dust or debris gets between the screen and the LCD as this will be visible when the iPhone is powered on.
If glass/digitizer is cracked or the touch functionality does not work you require the glass/digitizer part
For severe drops, you could require both the glass/digitizer screen and LCD
If the LCD display does not light up or certain parts of the screen do not display then you require the LCD part
The parts between the 3G and 3Gs are not compatible between the two model iPhones
Use a suction cup to remove touch screen glass
Remove all dust and particles from both the glass and LCD prior to reassembling
Don't overheat the glass as it could damage the proximity sensor or speaker on the midframe
Prior to final reassembly onto iPhone base, bend ribbon connector #3 to allow for good angle of attack when reinserting
Use care when removing the LCD as it will break with any bending force
Glass/Digitizer and LCD parts are not compatible between the 3G and 3Gs

Overview: The iPhone 4 screen manufacturing process is different than the iPhone 3G 3Gs. The LCD is fused to the glass/digitizer so you don't have the option of just replacing individual components. To properly replace the screen, you need the whole assembly that includes the glass/digitizer and LCD in a single unit.
