How do I replace the Wii U gamepad digitizer?

After reviewing the breakdown guide of the Wii U gamepad, I am left wondering if taking the digitizer and LCD screen apart will break them due to the adhesive, and what type of adhesive I should use on the new digitizer to attach it to my LCD screen.

As the teardown says, the LCD is fused to the digitizer. This means that you can't repair one without replacing both parts. It's unfortunate that manufacturers do this to save a few millimeters of thickness, but fused parts are fairly standard in phones and other displays.

Yeah I dont know what that guy is talking about fused together lol. I just replaced the digitizer from my wiiU gamepad, Its very easy to just pull the digitizer off the screen. Then you can either scrape off the white border on the old lcd and place it in the front plate of the wiiU gamepad itself. Then Set the digitizer on the lcd screen. After that insert the screen into the gamepad on top of the little small border you laid in the front faceplate area. Easy as pie. Hope I helped.
