watching this with my smashed phone screen

I want to learn how to do this too. The more I watch the more a simple screen replacement looks much more complicated than what I expected tbh

[Landrew]

Thanks for showing me that I'd never ever want to do this.

There are more than just two kinds of loctite and the various formulas (243, 249, etc.)

Low Strength – Purple
Medium Strength – Blue
Medium/High Strength – Green
High Strength – Red
High Strength – Black

One great tip for cracked smartphone screen, tape the front screen with heavy duty tape. It can be very dangerous when the screen starts to get into pieces.

I'm so jealous of all of your tools and equipment. Whenever I'm doing something with electronics I always have to bring tools way outside their spec or improvise household objects into tools.

This is really helping me you know how hard it is to watch other videos of taking a phone apart they make it seem so easy and you were having struggles like you should shoot right now I'm using my boyfriend's phone cuz I don't have one

their was a huge sense of achievement after watching this video. at least now i can appreciate how phone screens are fixed being a major problem for smart phone users.i recommend this video for those willing 2 DIY fix their Samsung phone screens.

Its not "removing the screen from the phone" its removing the phone from the screen ;)

Replacing my screen myself was probably one of the easiest and best decisions I've made. I may have voided my warranty in taking it apart, though.

Go to give it to Joey, but drop it just before you give it to him and say, "Now it's your turn."

Lmfao, "mash it back down" "i mean gently place"

hey I'm 16 years old and I've been looking for a job for a long time i was thinking that i could try to learn to replace cracked screens. i have a couple old phones i can practice on and this is something i really wanna do. should i buy a beginner sett?
please answer:)

[lavonpable]

Not a easy fix. Good video to remind me that if you have never taken apart a cell phone before. You may want to practice on an old broken phone first instead of a phone that you plan to use again. Good video from a not too technical person.

Will looks like he's been up all night crying and eating icecream.

Thank you, It is about time to start trying to fix phones not working.

i work as a repair tech  and i have a couple of tips for you, longer nails are awesome, i can pop open an s4 mid-frame in like 4 seconds, and starting it is no problems, just stick thumbnail in edge and slide it around, thumbnail also works a a swedger, swedgers can end up breaking chips off, all s4's have 2 antenna, but besides these criticisms you did a good job, just be careful with that swedger, one miss and you mess up the mobo and you essentially have a paper weight

[aaronwelker]

I cannot handle how many times you slip and drop the phone dude omg

[shadowwsk]

Is it worth it though, in terms of money
