  1. Do you happen to know if / where the individual components of the note 5 lcd, digitizer, screen, touch chip can be purchased separately?

  2. How do you remove the metal chip covers? Are they soldiered on? I need to change out the video chip so I can use my screen to get pictures off. Everything on my phone works except the video chip got smoked when the phone fell in the water. I can tell that from the burned marked on the chip cover.
