The screen is also adhered on the back to a sort of metal plate, on the other side of which is the PCB. Removing the PCB/Screen combo from the chassis takes some doing, but is possible if you're careful. Removing the screen from the PCB takes some more doing, and might be possible, even if you are careful.

The G2 Prime I bought had an infuriating flashing pixel that was distracting so I tried swapping in the screen from my glitching G1 (which had a perfectly fine screen). The swap was successful but very difficult and nerve-wracking. A warranty claim might've been a better way to go, in retrospect. The G2's screen did not survive the separation from the metal plate, but that was the one with the bad pixel anyway.

While I don't recommend swapping screens between G1 and G2, it's doable. Seek other options if possible.

No footage of that surgery :/ ?
