Replace Samsung One Broken Front Glass Step-by-Step Guide

– Ready to rock and roll? If your phone’s already sporting a screen protector, you’re all set to dive in!

– No protector? No problem! Just grab some packaging tape, cut a piece that’s as big as your screen, and stick it on there. This will make removing any shattered glass a breeze later on.

– Grab a plastic opening tool and gently coax the back case open. It’ll pop off before you know it!

– Pop out the battery, no strings attached!

– If your trendy gadget uses a SIM card, give it a gentle push until you hear a satisfying click, then smoothly slide that little guy out.

– You’re doing great! If you’re feeling bold, you can move on to the next step and start using a heat gun. For those who like to play it extra safe, you might want to consider removing the motherboard as well.

– Choosing to remove the motherboard? No worries! Just follow the steps in the Samsung Galaxy S III Motherboard Replacement guide for all the nitty-gritty details.

– Warm up the surface to a cozy 170-180° F (about 70-80° C) using an infrared thermometer. This gentle heat will soften the adhesive without harming your device’s inner tech.

– Keep the heat gun about 3 inches away from your device (don’t get too close like in the picture). Set it to low and give the edges a warm hug for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your heat gun’s mojo.

– Be cautious with the heat gun—it’s not a toy! Too much heat and your device might throw a fit by melting the digitizer or changing colors. If you see any funky discoloration, it’s time to turn off the heat.

– If you’re using a hair dryer, patience is key—it could take up to an hour. Just keep at it, and you’ll get there!

– Grab a guitar pick or a plastic opening tool and start prying the edges of the glass with the enthusiasm of a rock star!

– Work your way from the top down like you’re reading a thrilling book.

– Keep the heat gun handy and use it often as you delve deeper. For screens that are more cracked than a spider web, tread lightly to avoid any LCD heartbreak!

– Take it slow and steady at the bottom—those menu buttons are cozy with the glass!

– Hold your horses! Don’t yank the glass just yet, or you might snag a cable. Gently pull the screen from top to bottom until you can peek at those sneaky menu and return button cables.

– Take extra care in this step to avoid any damage to the buttons or cable! Use a spudger to carefully pry the buttons off from the inside of the glass. You might need to apply a bit more heat to loosen them up. It’s smart to start prying right in the center, just beneath the black ribbon linking the buttons, then gently wiggle sideways to free each button.

– *Update* Big shoutout to the cool person who dropped those missing pics—super helpful!

– Remove the broken glass. I managed to get it all out in one piece.

– If your glass looks like a puzzle of tiny shards, you might need to remove the pieces one by one with tweezers, or apply tape to the glass to lift it off more easily. Screen protectors can also do the trick.

– Snag that tiny metal superhero from your old glass and give it a new home in the new one. You’ll need it, trust me!

– Wipe off the residual glue along the edges. Grab a microfiber cloth, add a splash of WD40 or Windex, and scrub away all that sticky mess.

– Snip two tiny 1mm pieces from your sticker tape and use them to fix the buttons securely onto the phone. Keep those buttons snug and in place!

– Slap some sticker tape onto the inner frame of your phone like a boss.

– Give the digitizer a spa day with lint-free wipes or a pristine microfiber towel. Splash on some lens cleaner for that extra sparkle and zero smudges.

– Remove the plastic from your brand-spankin’ new glass, but hey, let’s keep those fingerprints off the inside, alright?

– Both sides of the glass are rocking some thin protective plastic. Rip those off before you set the glass on your phone like a boss.

– Rip off that old paper backing from your sticker tape and slap on your shiny new glass. Give the edges a firm press to make sure it sticks like it’s supposed to!
