There's lots of little things that should be taken into account when taking an iPhone apart that are not mentioned or shown on utube videos.
yep, i used a 'safe open prying plastic tool' to try and separate the lcd and digitizer. worst mistake ever. if its just the lcd damaged though then thats great!

for reference, this is a much more realistic youtube guide i WISH i had followed in the first place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am6YW...eature=related

it shows you how to pop out the lcd using the sidetabs unlike all of the other 1 minute tutorials that tell you to wedge the lcd apart at the bottom. ugh.
