Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G Screen Replacement Guide: DIY Tutorial for Screen Repair
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 28 Steps
Hey there! Before getting started, double-check that your new screen is totally frameless. And no worries if you can’t get your old screen back after the removal process – it’s all part of the charm!
Ready to tackle that cracked or damaged screen on your Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G? You’ve come to the right place! If your screen isn’t responding to your touch, has some pesky dead pixels, or has taken a hit that left it cracked, it might be time for a new screen. Some screens come cozy in a new frame (also known as a chassis), which means you’ll need to move your device’s internals over instead of just swapping the screen out. That’s a whole different ball game than what we’re diving into here. Before you get started, make sure your new screen is frameless—trust us, it makes life easier! Keep in mind that the screen is super-glued to the frame with some seriously strong adhesive, so when you remove it, your old screen is going to be a goner. Don’t forget, you’ll need some replacement adhesive for the back cover and screen to get your device all put back together. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
