During reassembly, it’s easier to reconnect by first placing the left side (close to battery) and then clicking it into place (than, say, top side first)
It is MUCH EASIER if you leave the screw ATTACHED TO THE CABLE. Just gently unscrew until you are able to detach the cable. The screw will stay attached to the cable unless you pull it out, which will help a lot in reassembly. Just make sure, as you handle the cable in the next steps, that the screw doesn’t fall off!
I confirm, for me it was way easier from the home button. But you must be careful as it’s easy to pull the cable more strongly from that side (more effective, but less control)
I did this and worked well, but my front camera and earphone are gone. Any clue on what I might have done wrong?

As a follow up to my previous comment: it was faulty, but if you get the same issue it’s worth checking that the display data cable is well connected
Screen has horizontal lines. Should I assume it is faulty or that I did something wrong in reassembling it?
using the 2 credit cards stacked together worked best
