When the screen lift up off the device, are you able to freely lift it up? Is it still stuck to the frame for the most part with only one corner lifting?

When the screen starts lifting, are you able to freely lift it up further? Is it still stuck to the frame for the most part with only one corner lifting?
Freely lifting means the adhesive kit was either defective or not installed properly and will eventually lead to the screen lifting off completely. Partial lifting with a solid seal everywhere else means that something is pushing the screen off from the inside… such as leftover adhesive, pieces of glass, cables in the way, etc.
Either way, its worth removing the screen completely at this point to see which issue you’re having. In my experience, proper replacement adhesive will stick permanently within 30 minutes. It may also help to clean the frame with 99% alcohol and let it dry completely before installing more fresh adhesive (don’t use too much though or that foam will rip up and go everywhere)
