Hey everyone, totally new to this and trying to fix my first phone (Samsung A51). Paying 300+ AED for a bad third-party repair isn't an option right now, so I'm doing it myself.

The YouTube tutorials look stressful asf, especially moving the motherboard. I have a few questions for the techs here:

How hard is the A51 for a complete beginner? What's the most annoying/complex part of the teardown?

Frame or no frame? Should I buy the screen assembly with the frame already attached, or just the glass/LCD panel? (The motherboard transfer scares me, but gluing a raw screen sounds worse).

Does the NFC variant matter when buying the replacement screen part?

What basic tools are absolute mandatory so I don't completely destroy the back cover or puncture the battery?

Appreciate any tips or warnings before i start opening it!
