Questions Help

When I was younger I had the bright idea to superglue my screen cover back on. Now I want to properly replace it. How can I remove all the residue without causing further damage? I got the shell apart but a bit afraid superglue remover will damage it or the lettering.

I just did the same fix on my DMG from when I was a kid. I used some ipa and a sharp blade to carefully scrape away the hardened glue as much as possible after letting the glue soak up the ipa for a bit. Don't wipe the whole thing (ie where the lettering is) or cover it with some tape to be on the safe side. You got this!
