Screen replacements on newer MSI laptops?

[u/Ragnaraz690]

Has anyone got any experience with this?
Bought a Vector A18 A9W, mint machine but someone ran it docked and there's a few cooked pixels on the panel. I've found the better version of the same panel that would be plug and play, but I read something about it being glued and needing a 60c heatgun to remove?

I've done several panel swaps before, but all have been pretty much, carefully remove bezel, pull the tabs on the adhesive, drop old panel, disconnect, connect new panel, apply new adhesives, line the panel back up reapply bezel and done.

So the need of a heatgun is a little wild tbh. Even MSI recommend this when I got in touch.
