I still can't fathom how I could get the front plate and the bezel off at the same time with part of that scallop plastic stuck to the screen. Even with that front plate off, I haven't been able to work out how to get the rest of the bezel unstuck. I know the screen is completely smashed so I don't have to worry about breaking it, but my attempts so far have caused the whole thing to flex (incl. motherboard) quite a lot. :/
I think my mistake was that I need to get something under the bezel on the inside (between the screen and the bezel) not just around the outer edge?
Even if I still get a replacement screen, given the bezel is glued to the glass, I'm not sure how I could reassemble it successfully.
Given the number of sales of replacement screens, it's clearly possible so I would dearly love to know how to do that properly. I just can find nothing specifically on replacing the screen.
I will try getting it apart more later. It's not like I have much more to lose
