I don't quite understand this part

Take care of FFC (flexible flat cable) which connects control button to the mainboard - it is easy to break those contacts - you will have to solder them afterwards.
Be also carefull by detaching of the screen from inductive panel - it is attached by doublesided adhesive tape.

So will i have to solder the FFC cable contacts anyway or only if i break them?
I just need to know if i can replace the screen simply attaching and deattaching the cable/tapes (as in samsung phone for example that i have fixed) with my bare hands?

Also apart from physically replacing the screen are there any things that i have to do before the reader can work properly (motherboard adjustments, bios, etc)? Or is it just replace ang go ?

Best regards.
