How to replace a Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 screen digitizer?

I recently purchased an Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 (5.5). Through and unfortunate incident the phone screen broke. The phone screen was unresponsive which lead me to believe that the Digitzer was shot. I'm fairly New to DIY phone projects so I was wondering How would I go about repairing this specific model. Would I need a new front panel Or is it just the Digitizer? Alcatel support is Useless.

"Tried to remove the touch screen by using an heating pad, It is useless display is too fragile.

My conclusion is that Alcatel is even worst than Apple, I am so upset."

The easiest way to replace it is to check youtube for a video on how to disassemble your phone/replace the screen and decide if that is something you feel you can do or if you feel better taking it to a professional. Next if you choose to do it yourself you are going to find out what you phone is exactly i.e. an alcatel onetouch idol 3 model number 6045O. Next check places like amazon or eBay or something similar for "replacement screen for idol 3 6045O" (replacing the example phone with your own a). Find a screen that has a digitizer and lcd already attached together and ready for you to put it on your phone. Purchasing them together is a little pricier but I have never been able to successfully separate a lcd from it's digitizer no matter if it was broken or not so for those of us who are not professionals, getting them already together saves you from a lot of anger and money loss. Get any additional tools that the youtube video may have had that you need. Lastly order the item triple checking that it will work with your phones model number, and slowly follow word for word the youtube video while you replace the item. You do it all at your own risk though so make sure you have a back up plan for a phone if it goes pear-shaped!
