I always use the piece of paper with polarizer film to make sure my screens have no lines etc. I have an extra sheet I ordered from nonfinite forever ago thinking I had scratched mine installing it (turns out it was a hair between the layers) do I just stick a piece of paper and that non adhesive sheet between the screen and turn up contrast to make sure a huge black block appears.

nah don't sweat it, if it is your first time, go at the speed of molasses, with a fresh blade, and have a backup. besides the extra parts are an upside, cases to paint, extra screen cover, and since biverting and pitch mods are done on the mother board, I've got extra to mess with. Still havent done any pockets yet.

Word of advice, stick a piece of white paper behind the LCD and if it still appears to be that infamous shade of green (or greenish tint), you haven't peeled both layers off.

wow I did not know that, which explains why my inverted screen is normal. which is alright with me

Yeah, my very first backlight installation I did the same thing. E-mailed kitsch a few times to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong. After I figured that out they've been much easier since. Even started backlighting pockets as well, although I haven't tried the soldering technique yet with those screens.

what type of backlight, and which tutorial did you follow?

some say that you don't need to cut any of the plastic frame.  not cutting the part that the wires overlap puts pressure on the wires/PCB when the case is put back together, and this isn't good of course.

so, *if* you're using a backlight which claims you don't need to snip the plastic, don't believe it.  you should. 

OR, the backlight is a thicker model than most now??? 

so, where did you get, what did you follow?

Q-tips and rubbing alcohol, 99% if you can get it. Don't worry about ruining the LCD with that, the glass is pretty tough and the alcohol won't eat through anything like other house hold cleaners.

The Gut Wrenching Saga Ends! 3rd try and it came out perfect, sardine roller kitsch suggested worked well, foil still went silly, but looks pretty nice. normal polarization blue led3 and pepto buttons. It's a good day today.

If we're talking pockets here, I desolder the bottom ribbon cable and solder it back together.
It's surprisingly easy and is the fastest way I think.
