iPhone 3G Display Assembley

I've ordered the whole display assembly, which is the whole front. Glass, Digitiser, Earpiece, Home button, New LCD screen etc... It should be a case of opening it up, undo-ing the ribbon cables, taking out my old lot out and putting the new one in.
I actually replaced just the glass before this, and snagged the earpiece cable / earpiece stopped working. Since then I've managed to screw the LCD up and it just doesn't turn on. The phone makes a noise when you plug it into the computer, however.
I was just wondering if I got a new rubber seal with the new assembly. I've not ordered from iFixit, but an ebay seller. Much cheaper for anyone else looking to do this. Was after experience with buyers really. The prices seem to range from £40 - £55 for what I wanted.
Here's hoping I can resurrect my 3G for the girlfriend.

Oh of course. Like I say it's already been open a fair bit, when I replaced just the glass off my existing display assembly. Which by the way I really wouldn't recommend. For the price I'd just replace the whole lot.
When I did mine, I didn't realise I could have gotten a whole display assembly from the bay for a reasonable price!
