Would the wheel be included with the LCD? The wheel on my camera is broken, and I would like to fix/replace it, so should I just order a new LCD screen?

The replacement includes just the compatible LDC screen and the connector; the wheel is a separate piece.
The LCD comes naked, meaning that the fancy screen protector with black frame is not provided. It is kind of a sticker which shall be detached from the original LCD and re-attached to the new one. It would have been a good idea to include it within the fix tip.
