Replacement glass or Samsung phone screen Galaxy

The most popular model of smartphones, Samsung Galaxy S, has a drawback in the form of frequently breaking screen glass. Broken or cracked glass can only be replaced. The screen of S line smartphones can also work with cracked glass; the need for replacement in this case is determined by the wishes of the phone owner.

But it may also be that a cracked screen stops working. In this case, you cannot get rid of it by replacing the glass and you have to change the entire screen module. Screen replacement uses a range of Samsung Galaxy components, making it a more expensive service than glass replacement.

It is not uncommon for a cell phone to fall out of the owner’s hands or pocket and, as a rule, the most fragile part – the glass – is damaged. On modern touchscreen models, replacing glass on a phone is a whole set of measures aimed at changing the glass and maintaining the functionality of the gadget.

How much does glass cost now, the price of replacing glass in service centers, and is it possible to carry out this procedure yourself?

Diagnostics

After a brand-name phone has been dropped, in addition to cracked glass, common damage may occur:

1. Electronics are glitchy.
2. The sound disappears.
3. The phone does not turn on.
4. Moisture and others got in.

It is necessary to carry out diagnostics in a workshop. Even if the device, apart from the glass, has no other external damage, this does not mean that there are no other hidden deviations.

Diagnostics are usually free and take place within 30 – 40 minutes. After it, the master will be able to give precise recommendations on what the owner should do next.

Buy glass

Usually, cell phone repair service centers have the necessary spare glass for different models. But it is possible for the phone owner to order and buy glass for the phone on online trading platforms such as eBay and AliExpress.

Glass on Samsung Galaxy

On AliExpress the price of a repair kit for glass replacement is RUB 413.56. The kit comes with:

1. External glass – 1 pc.
2. Tools – set of 8 pieces
3. Frame 1 pc.

Glass on Samsung s4

The AliExpress trading platform offers a large selection of prices for the Samsung C4 with a repair set of ten pieces of glass with different colored frames at a price of RUB 720.51.:

• Mix Color
• Black
• White

Glass for Samsung duo on ebay

On the ebay trading platform, glass for a Samsung Duos touch screen costs US $12,21 .

Glass replacement

When replacing glass in repair shops, as a rule, double-sided tape is used. It is glued around the perimeter of the glass by pressing firmly on all sides. But practice shows that this fastening method is imperfect. Over time, the tape peels off and dust particles begin to penetrate under the glass.

It is best to glue the glass with special glue (made in Germany). In addition to glue, you will also need an ultraviolet lamp. Under the influence of the lamp rays, such glue adheres tightly to the glass on all sides, leaving no gaps and hardens. To ensure that all edges of the glass fit 100% exactly into place, special leveling equipment is used for the display and glass.

The work is extremely painstaking. And even a highly qualified master can cope with it in no less than three hours.

Cost of replacing Samsung glass only in workshops

1. Samsung duos - 2300 rub.(For all)
2. Samsung Galaxy S4 - 2300 rub.(For all)
3. Samsung Galaxy (other models) - 3500 rub.(For all)

In specialized workshops, such work can be guaranteed for at least a month. Therefore, experienced professionals will suggest replacing the entire display module. This way you can ensure the functionality of your expensive device.

By the way, in the event of such a breakdown on a new phone, the warranty does not cover cracks or a network of crack webs on the screen. There is, of course, the option of trying to find a service that is willing to undertake glass replacement. But when replacing glass using an amateur method, the probability of success is 50/50.

There is another way out: try replacing the glass yourself. Moreover, with glass purchased on the Aliexpress trading platform, the necessary accessories for replacing it are sold:

• Napkins,
• Screwdrivers,
• Mediators,
• Special devices for dismantling.

You will also need to get a hairdryer to heat the glass.

Replacing glass yourself

Using a hairdryer, a hot stream of air heats up the entire surface of the phone glass. When exposed to heat, the glue softens and the tip of the pick can be passed under it. Taking your time, heating the glass and widening the gap with a mediator, all the glass peels off from the screen.

Remains of glue are removed with a cloth soaked in a special solvent. Before gluing new glass, all glued surfaces are cleaned of dust particles with a soft cloth. The new glass, together with the protective film on the outside, is glued to the phone or with double-sided tape, but better with special UV glue (similar to the factory one).

Now that we have become familiar with all the intricacies of replacing the glass on your phone, it is best to follow our advice:

• carry the phone in a protective case;
• do not let small children play with such an expensive toy;
• protect from water;
• use special wipes to wipe the screen;
• Do not carry the device without a cover in bags or briefcases;
• If a malfunction occurs, contact a specialized Samsung center.

Video

There are two camps: some argue that you should not replace the glass separately from the display, others, as you may have guessed, are of the opposite opinion. In this article we will look at all sides.
When you search for “display replacement,” you will probably be offered options for replacing the glass; the cost of this procedure is always lower than replacing the entire module, and your original matrix remains. I think those who have installed cheap copies of displays know that color rendition, viewing angles suffer, and what can I say, there may be problems with the operation of the touchscreen.

It's so simple! I'll go watch a video on YouTube and change the glass myself

I hasten to disappoint you, this cannot be done without special equipment. Let's start with the fact that there are two technologies for “gluing” new glass:
The first is using ultraviolet glue.

Cheapness
+ hides micro-scratches on the polarizer

Appearance of yellow spots
- the need to change the backlight
+color distortion
– not compatible with 3D Touch

This glue is difficult to evenly distribute over the entire surface of the matrix (this is, of course, not noticeable to the eye), but after a while a yellow spot forms in the place of excess (increased pressure) of glue, and this is already unpleasant. Since this is glue, it gets under the backlight (with the exception of amolds), as a result of which stains are visible, some people remove the backlight before the procedure or install a new one, in the case of iPhones this is not a problem, since you can buy it everywhere, but if we are talking about Lg, Sony, Meizu, then this is quite difficult. And even if you have changed the backlight, there are almost always places where the UV rays did not hit the glue and it did not harden. There is a huge chance that with active (and not so active) movements of the phone, the backlight will again be filled with glue.

The second, more modern technology, the use of wasp film

Pros:
+can be used on any phone model
+no impact on backlighting
+does not turn yellow
+ apply evenly over the entire area

– expensive equipment

General disadvantages include the risk of damage to the matrix during removal; if the technician is experienced, the risk is minimized, but still not zero. Our service center has a 95% success rate in this procedure, which is a very high figure.

Is the glass original?

The original is the one that you installed initially, then there are copies, and they already have good quality (as they say “original”) and poor quality (stores like to call them copy A, the more “A” the “cooler”). If they tell you that this is an original, ask for certificates from the manufacturer’s factory; if there are none (they won’t be), then these are just empty words. Yes, I understand that the glass that we replace at the service center is as close in quality as possible to the original, but calling them by this word would not be fair to the client. This is something other service centers happily use, calling everything they have in stock an original and, of course, people come because it’s an “original.”

Why so expensive? I know how much glass costs!

Yes, indeed, the price of the glass itself (touchscreen) is not the key to the final cost. In terms of time, replacing the display takes on average 20-40 minutes, depending on the specific model and the skills of the technician. Replacing glass increases repair time by two to three times. It is also necessary to have an experienced specialist, since a small number of craftsmen are fluent in this technology.
To replace glass, you need specialized equipment, the total cost of which is close to megapc.

Why make it so complicated when you can change the module right away?

You will always have time to change the module. Take for example the display on the iPhone 6s costs $140, while glass replacement costs $60. Let's go through the Chinese, Meizu Pro 6 - $155 to replace the display module, and $55 to replace the glass, and there are many such examples on Xiaomi, Samsung, OnePlus, etc. We replace glass on many models. We have not yet touched upon the topic of the quality of Chinese display modules, color rendition, viewing angles and other characteristics.

What if it doesn't work out?

During removal of the display from the frame, cutting on the separator, gluing under the press and in the pressure chamber, a large load is placed on the matrix. We warn the client about all possible risks associated with replacing glass, and give the opportunity to save with a probability of 95%. In 5% of cases, it is necessary to replace the entire display module.

I plan to devote the next article to the technological stages of replacing glass in my service center step by step.

Articles and Lifehacks

Broken glass is one of the most common problems among mobile device owners. Our article will help you understand how to replace glass on phone, and will also tell you what we need for this.

What do we need to know if we want to replace the glass on our phone?

Glass is the most fragile part of our device, and therefore when it falls, it breaks first. But if earlier its replacement was inexpensive, today it can become a real problem. With the widespread use of touch phones, everything has changed, and the procedure has become significantly more complicated. In addition, it is not cheap (don’t forget about the cost of work).

Modern mobile devices may have a touch panel connected to glass. In this case, separate glass replacement is not possible, and this increases the cost of replacement. However, it’s still not as expensive to do as replacing the glass on expensive flagships. The most advanced mobile devices (like the Xperia Z from Sony or the Galaxy S4 from Samsung) have a rather complicated screen design. It consists of a liquid crystal display that transmits images, a sensor (also known as a touch-screen) that responds to finger touches, and glass. The latter performs not only decorative, but also protective functions. Note that the screen module of such smartphones is an integral element, all components of which are glued to each other. The manufacturer's instructions require a complete replacement.

Let's talk about how to replace glass on a phone in more detail. Of course, in the absence of sufficient skills, it is better to contact a service center. If we decide to do it ourselves, it is recommended to search YouTube for video instructions on how to replace the glass on our device model. Here are some tips.

How can I replace the glass on my phone?

The replacement starts something like this: we heat the display module using a special hair dryer, after which the glue becomes softer and we get rid of it using a plastic tool. Residues are removed using solvent and wipes. The new glass is attached with 2-sided tape or UV glue.

At first glance, everything seems quite simple, but in practice difficulties often arise. Firstly, it is very difficult to achieve uniform heating of the surface of the display module. There is always a risk that we will overheat both the display and the touch-screen. We may cause irreparable damage to your mobile device. The easiest way to remove the glass yourself is if there are large cracks on the surface of the glass. If the cracks are small, the procedure is quite risky, since the glass may crumble, and small fragments will damage the sensor. In other words, we will still have to completely change the module.

In conclusion, we note that to glue new glass you need to have certain skills, and therefore it is best to use 2-sided tape instead of glue.
