-- but should you own a OnePlus One and be in the habit of breaking your screens, this guide to replacing them has by-and-large worked very nicely indeed for me.
It is missing the details that (a) you might want some double-sided sticky-tape to hand, (b) you gotta unplug the antenna to actually remove the motherboard, and (c) there's a plastic retaining clip for the top ribbon for the screen. It's also written with the expectation that you are not someone who uses HF routinely, and therefore that you need BIG SCARY WARNINGS to NOT USE EXCESS FORCE where in fact my problem was, very consistently, needing to use more force.
Additional resources I found helpful: a youtube video that gives more detail on removing the battery, levering up the screen, and how to disconnect the antenna (9:15ish).
I tried using the suspicious microwave ferret as a heat source but it was insufficient, so I used an encozied hot water bottle instead.
