The general directions to replace the front outer glass lens on your iPhone or Galaxy
Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy general front outer glass lens replacement directions.
1) Pry the back case open to remove
the battery and the SIM card.
Optional: You can also remove
your phone’s motherboard.
2) You will need to pry the top glass
from the bottom casing. To do this,
you can use a flat tool or a razor
blade. This may take some time.
Try prying the edges first.
3) Optional: You can also use an
infrared thermometer or a blow dryer
to heat the surface. This will loosen
the glue for easier removal. Use the
suction cup to assist with the screen removal.
4 Wipe the screen clean. Anything
left on the screen can mess up the
touch performance. If your glass is
shattered you will need to pick up
the small pieces with tweezers.
5 WARNING: it is important that
the digitizer does not get
damaged in the process of
removing the glass from the
LCD. Do not damage the LCD.
6 Take your new sticky adhesive and
carefully line it around the edges of
the phone. DO NOT get any adhesive
on buttons or the LCD screen. Cut
the adhesive as you line the edges.
7 When you are finished lining
the phone with the adhesive,
carefully peel the paper from
the adhesive to show the
sticky side.
8 Peel off the thin protective
plastic layers on both sides
of the new glass. DO NOT
touch the inner side of the
screen.
9 CAREFULLY line the new
glass up with the screen
and press on the edges to
secure adhesion.
