I know the user had good intentions, but this is a low quality guide. Low lighting, super vagueness in steps, not all steps necessary are listed, screws to remove, harmful surprises to expect etc. If you want to replace your screen successfully with confidence and ease, use ifixit's staff guide: iPhone 4S Screen Replacement
