I tried to repair it from the front, the problem with that is you would have to do some damage to the metal that lies between the LCD screen assembly and the motherboard assembly. The actual connection for the cables lies behind it, hence the approach from the back cover which leads to taking the whole thing apart anyway. This was my first time, I did it 'cause I really like the phone and I really don't feel any need of getting another one yet.
