Even I open the case and replace the battery oso feels like hell. If don't have the proper tool then better not attempt to do it yourself.

maybe another option is if the phone still working, u can sell it off and get a new one lo... coz i dun think DIY is a good idea.. you might have butterfinger and spoil it again...
who knows rite? just my 2cent.. touching a wounded patient is not a good idea unless you're a doctor.. |

I dont think its as cheap as 500. It's a touch sensitive screen so it will be quite expensive. Furthermore you're not repairing it in US.
