The screens are pretty sturdy, they don't shatter they crack in all directions from point of impact. It can be very hard to see that until it's plugged in, switched on and lite up. The only ones I see on ebay are from the UK.

They normally arrived well packed in a strong flat cardboard box but the UK is a long way to travel in a sack It's a risk.

If the Bezel had double sided tape in there then it's been done before. You alway break off some clips on the bezel. I guess they want you to pay for a new one. I've used tape and sometimes a drop of superglue to get em back on straight. Superglue can turn black plastic white so it needs to be on the inside only. And that always happens, right

Those extra screws show why people like me avoid these things. They are built like a watch and everyone of them is different. But its a lot cheaper doing it yourself than at a repair center. They'll charge the bomb for the screen, double at least and labour costs are high.

So long as the screen is a worker and well supported on the hinge arms, you can basically throw the front and back away but don't quote me and don't carry the thing around
