Smartphones comprise several components, and you need to carefully detach the glass display before repairing an android screen.
Note: some smartphone models cannot be repaired without having to send them back to a manufacturer.
Open the phone
Remove the rear cover and battery and check out where the phone's Torx screw or standard screws may be hidden. You can check under the labels and around the USB ports for screws. Open the phone apart using a lever and plectrum and remove any additional screws from the phone.
Before you open the phone, watch out for the ribbon cables as you need to unlatch them from the connectors carefully. You can use a flat plastic blade to remove them.
Remove the Screen
After removing the ribbon cables, the front of the phone should be in your hand, and you can then remove the glass display.
You can soften the adhesive on the glass with a heat gun or just put the phone in a warm place for some time to soften the adhesive. The next step is to remove the glass display from the phone's body gently.
You will then remove the components and the motherboard from the damaged android screen.
Replace The Adhesive
You will then attack fresh double-sided sticky tape to the areas of the phone's frame that have lost their stickiness after removing the screen.
Note: you should ensure the existing adhesive on the phone screen when possible. Furthermore, you should not let the tape overlap the visual part of the glass.
Install the New Screen
After placing the adhesive in the phone's frame, you can then remove the protective strips on the adhesive and place the new glass.
Apply light pressure where the screen touches the adhesive.
Note: Avoid putting too much pressure on the middle of the glass display. This is because too much force can easily break a phone's screen.
Ensure Correct Cable Connections
The next step is putting the phone together.
Reconnect the relevant cables and lock down the cables where necessary.
Put the components back into the case carefully and ensure there are no cables left over.
Test the phone to ensure that the screen works perfectly.
