Thank you for this. I figured out that a lot of what you did is actually not necessary. Especially if you can apply minimum heat (or no heat at all) to remove the display, you don't need to disconnect or remove anything except these connectors after removing the back plate: > Optional: Disconnect the battery cable. This is not necessary, but for safety reasons and to avoid short circuiting anything. NOTE: You do not need to remove the battery itself! > Disconnect the display cable. > Disconnect the fingerprint sensor cable. > Disconnect the capacitive buttons cable (the back and recent buttons). That's it. You don't need to unscrew or remove the logic board, any of the other connectors, any other component. After that, simply do this: 1) Attempt to gently remove the display from the front, taking care you route the three cables you disconnected through their holes. 2) Remove the fingerprint sensor and capacitive buttons from the old display (as shown in video, although you can remove them as a single unit too) and affix them to the new display. 3) Route the connectors from the new display through the three holes and connect them back to the logic board (for display) or second board (for sensor and buttons). 4) Put the black stickers on the connectors and snap on the back plate. 5) Complete the installation as per video.
BONUS TIP: You may want to test your new display before installation, especially as your supplier won't accept return if you already installed it. To do so, after removing the back plate: 1) Disconnect ONLY the old display cable and connect the new display cable by laying out the display in an upside down fashion over the battery and logic board. 2) Power on your phone. If the new display works, you should see the phone booting as normal on the new display. (Remember that the capacitive buttons and the fingerprint sensor are still in the old display.) 3) Test that the display functions properly. Also test that the touch sensitivity works fine. 4) Once done testing, power off the phone. 5) Lift up the new display, then carefully disconnect the display cable. 6) Proceed with the removal of old display and installation of new one.
Bought screen and tools on Amazon and used this video to repair DIY. It worked! Thank you! A couple things were a bit off: you didn't mention removing SIM card, Also the adhesive on my phone was basically non-existent (screen fell out with no heat). Luckily I bought that separately. All in all, great guide and saved me $100+ from having someone else do it.
Just received the screen today and follow your steps and it was so much easier. I'm very thankful because you're very clear and precise on all details!
Great Video. Ive seen a few comments about removing broken glass and it making a mess. May i recommend sticking tape across the cracks. Should keep most of the bits together.
Just wanted to thank you for posting this. I had some water damage a while ago and was dreading changing this. I dropped the phone and the touch screen DIED. So with no options I ordered the screen, ran the video. DONE. Only a few minor recoverable issues. Notably moving the buttons from the old screen to the new screen. I highly recommend watching this and doing in order and also taking your time to find and use the right tool. Force fitting at this level could cause problems.
Smart Easy Repair, interesting how the screen replacement is brighter, color saturation is different. (bought on Amazon for shipping). Snappier response, but I'm sure that was the due to the original water damage. I was experiencing ghost hits, etc.
So the quality of the screens is substantially weaker at this current price point. Lower end of the screen cracks easily. When I compare the original to the replacement its an obvious difference. The original has flexibility and replacement not. Thinking of ordering the actual frame + screen from china? Any thoughts or suggestions.
perfect, worked like a charm! Only thing I had a slight problem with was that my screen glass was broken so to take it apart with the heat was a bit of a mess
Loved the video and the detailed description. The reassembled product came out just as perfect as the brand new fone. Thanks a lot for sharing this video
IMPORTANT: Do not forget the earpiece cover! I followed these steps to replace the digitizer assembly. The video does not show taking the earpiece cover off the old screen and putting it on the new one. I realized that something was missing near the earpiece after I finished assembling the phone. Otherwise, great explanation!
Thanks for the video! I am planning to replace my oneplus 2 screen in a couple days, and I will use your video as my guide. I am preparing to buy things that I need right now. I have read some comments; do I really need to buy extra adhesive for the screen repair? You mentioned 2mm double sided tape. And what do you use this adhesive for?
+joko subarjo That is only if you buy the screen without frame. If you get the one with the frame pre assembled it is already glued together which makes the process easier and faster. The adhesive is for sealing the screen to the frame. You're welcome. Best of luck!
+Smart Easy Repair ya! Thanks again. I just have one small problem, the adhesive in the bottom right corner is basically gone so I need to reopen it and add a bit more but other then that it's all good
omfg i frikkin love u. on some screens u have to exchange the grill for the screen facing speaker (for calling) as well its easy but it sucks if you forget to do it.
Hi thanks for the video, do I need to add adhesive tape to the phone in any section or can I not use the same adhesive it already has. When you put the phone back together you say apply heat what would I use to do this?
+frank mckechnie If your adhesive seems good yet then it should probably be ok. I would just use a hair dryer and stay back so you don't get it too hot or for long periods of time.
Great video, I just messed up when I pressed the new home key into it's place, was a bit in wrong angle and I held the screen in my hand... Crack, and the new glass broken. :D
Hi! Thank you so much for the video! I just replaced my screen and everything works fine except now my sim card doesn't work-- it shows as no bars. I have tried it with another sim card and it still won't work. During the process of removing the bottom of the signal antenna/cable, I accidentally removed the bottom part of what the cable was attached to in the midframe, but when reassembling, I just placed it allback in place and secured it. Could this be what is causing my sim card not to work??? How can I fix it? Should I solder it together? Thanks :(((
Great video !! But I have one little problem here. After replacing new LCD and digitizer, all works properly except I can't adjust the brightness. Help me with this, please.
One important thing I would add is that make sure you carefully remove the plastic gasket from old screen because you will have a gap without this gasket and all the new screen's I have seen don't have this gasket.
Hey, it's a great video! I will be repairing my shattered screen using this video as reference. However, I have one question before I start. Do I need to apply an adhesive or a double sided tape between the lcd and frame? Can't I re-use the existing adhesive and attach the new lcd screen?
If adhesive is needed to stick other connections as well, which one would you recommend? I don't have a heat gun with me now, instead is it recommended to heat it by putting near an electric stove?
+Nitish Rao Dadannagari Yes I would recommend using new adhesive between the LCD and frame. I believe I have a link in the video description below the video where you can find some. I would just recommend like a 2 mm double-sided adhesive they're all pretty good. I'm not sure about the electric stove I've never tried it just be very careful.
I have successfully replaced my broken lcd display. Everything works perfectly except the proximity sensor. When I make a call, the screen switches off and somehow doesn't come back unless I press one of the hardware buttons. Anyone faced such issues?
do you recommend a person who has never done the replacement to do this task?? i have bought the screen along with the frame so.. for that i have covered.. i dont need to replace the screen with the heating process. So now all i need to do is dissemble and reassemble the inside part.. how muich percent do you recommend?? i called the places they tell me they will charge 50 to 100 for them to do that.. :( which i think it is not worth it??
+heavenandhe Well I made the video in hopes of helping someone who has never done it before. I certainly think if you have the right tools and take your time you will do fine.
hey i want to ask you a question, my screen alone got broken but digitizer and LCD are okay. I use one plus 3T and wish to know how to replace that. I bought the screen alone from ebay and need your advice on this. thanks in anticipation.
+Obajemu Davidson I haven't torn apart and one +3 at this point yet. Usually it's easiest to replace the whole LCD digitizer assembly as a complete unit.
Hey great vid, i just have one question. I put the phone back together after replacing the screen. But the screen is all black, i scratched the copper tape ting quite a bit, could this be the case?
Are there any risks of losing ur pics, files and data? And once you turn on ur phone after replacing the screen, do we need to login on everywhere again?
No I’ve never seen where it loses anything since the memory is on the motherboard itself. It’s a good idea o backup your phone now and then anyways, so if youre concerned you could do that just in case. It’s been fine whenever I’ve done it.
Unless you somehow fried the motherboard in the process no. In any normal situation when replacing the screen it should just be as if you turned your phone back on.
im in the uk&i notice my screen is different to the US version&the back screws are in slightly different place so not sure if the inside of the phone is the same?also yours has a little oval cut out inbetween the earpiece&the led&the uk1 doesnt?uk version isA2003..thanks anyway as atleast i now know how to take the main pieces apart&how to reassemble :-)
Hi, I have a question. My screen is cracked but the touch is working. I need to pry open the screen the way you did with guitar picks and that should do the trick, right? Screen glass without LCD touch is comparatively inexpensive so that's what I'm thinking of doing.
What adhesive do you recommend as most of the original is unusable. Is it okay to use silicone? I have a black tube of that. Around the touch/home/fingerprint sensor the seal is bad as thats where my glass shattered so need to re-adhere that. Thanks to the board for any help!
+Hawaiiguy Kailua I would usually recommend a double-sided adhesive strip. I believe I have a link in the video description where you can find it if not I can send you one. If you have the silicone stuff you may try it I'm not sure how it worked though.
Smart Easy Repair thanks for the reply, I see 3M makes a tape glue kit that's laser cut for the oneplus one. Will that adhere the metal frame to the lcd digitizer replacement? I think the ONE is a plastic so not sure if it's designed to adhere to aluminum, the size should be close enough for the edges I would think, then some roll tape for the new placement of sensors speakers etc? What mm do you recommend or should I get say 1-3 assortment?
+Hawaiiguy Kailua Yea the double sided should stick fine even if its aluminum. Usually I use 2mm but sometimes it's handier to have something narrower and wider so the 1 to 3 assortment would be a good idea probably.
Sorry one other question, when I removed the battery I noticed the ribbon going into the battery has some play. I didn't jar or put any strain on it so the play is either like that or it was put in defective. It seems to charge and hold charge fine but since I have it all apart is there something I can investigate on the battery ribbon attachment?
hey man was wondering if you could help me out. I bought a replacement screen for my oneplus 2 but i also need replacement touch buttons for the bottom of the screen since the ribbon cable ripped and one of the buttons fell off when i broke the glass on my phone. Problem I have is i cant find anywhere online that is selling a replacement one. would you have any idea where i could find one?
Yeah sure thing. So if you follow the link in the video description below the video for the new screen, once you get to that page change the search from oneplus 2 screen to this, oneplus 2 menu back button and you should have some come up I just tried it.
Thanks man really helped me out! one last question for you. In terms of adhesive I would need some sort of adhesive to stick the buttons to the glass. would I be able to use adhesive tape for this or would the buttons not register the touch through the tape? I was just going to buy a roll of adhesive tape for the job specifically this one here tinyurl.com/y944t84d . Or is it a case that you would recommend like adhesive paste instead anyway? thanks!
Great video easy to follow just having one problem ether i missed something or i have a dud screen but i have no back light. the phone does boot up and work fine just no screen brightness at all . any advice anyone ?
+Peter Burke I would recheck your screen connections make sure they are connected properly sometimes it works just to disconnect them and snap them back in.
Your welcome. I would suggest using new adhesive anyways. The old never reseals as well. I believe I have some linked in the video description below the video.
Thank you SO MUCH! Screen replacements are a bitch, especially when it comes to the heat activated adhesive and when you are dealing with a shattered screen to be replaced. My replacement went smoothly, I wound up using a tad bit of hot glue since I didn't have replacement adhesive. I've done other screen replacements that DID NOT go well, like the Xperia z3. It's still sitting next to me, practically useless.
You should ask small retailers if they could seperate the frame with lcd for you, they might do it and I hope they make it cheaper too, if you found somebody who was wklling to do that, could you send me the link ?
do I need to apply more adhesive when reassembling the display? when I was sleeping I somehow managed to break the black display bezel making the screen popout a little bit. I was going to disassemble the phone to see what's preventing it from popping back in and was wondering if I would need more adhesive when reassembling the screen.
Can I fix light bleeding heating up the adhesive on it and press the screen down (the light bleed started after a soft low height drop..) I think the adhesive is not completely stuck anyone And yeah still rocking this phone for 4.5/5 years only now it is starting to show it's age, because of the drop :'(
Wow nice long life! It’s worth a try. I don’t know if it’ll be the same again. If not I think screens are pretty cheap for it anymore if you want to try replacing it.
Do you know if there is a software issue that wont let the phone use a replacement screen? It boots up normaly and shows the start up (oneplustwo) screen but nothing after that as if it were dead. Really frustrating.
I fixed a shattered screen this way but have verticals lines in the new screen, is this a faulty screen or a missed or damaged connector? Also the power and volume buttons keep falling out with gravity. I didn't see a part that holds them in
Hey again, after quick research on one of his other videos, how to change the buttons. I saw a little piece i was missing. ua-cam.com/video/Inh6r0BqxLA/v-deo.html Look at 1:50 in the video, it's a small piece to lock the buttons.
The best I cam up with was putting a tiny bit of double stick tape in the inside of the phone where the buttons have feet that go inside the phone. It's not super sturdy but I haven't lost them yet.
a question, i replaced another oneplus 2 screen (seccond time i did this job), but now the flash torch and the proximity sensor are no longer working. I accidently cut the copper tape in half, could the reason be something about that?
I just replaced the screen for my phone but I noticed that on the right side, it doesn't quite stick to the adhesive, even after holding for a few minutes. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
I followed the steps and replaced the screen with a new one. But the problem i'm facing is that the screen starts showing the one plus logo and then the screen goes black. I removed the back covers and saw that there was a light running under the bottom board. Have I done something wrong?
@@ewan8939 nope. I purchsed another screen and same issue. Im being told its the problem with the screen that i received. It was damaged. But no clue whatsoever. I checked with oneplus team and they suggested i send them the phone and they will have a look at it. Then only can they describe what the issue is.
So I had an interesting situation. I replaced the screen and the screen works great. But now the phone is extremely slow in its responsiveness. ITs takes a few seconds for it to respond to anything I do on the touch screen. Scrolling for example follows me after a delay and as if it skips a bunch of frames. What do you think this could be?
no I had no luck still. I tried flashing a different room thinking it might be software but that didn't help. I'll keep you updated if I get anything. yeah mine locks from time to time as well.
Well today I reassembled the phone. Maybe it was the cable of the screen, but don't know really. But. After some time it gets overheated, and starts the same thing again. If I let it cool down, than I can use it again for ~10 mins. Next week I'll try to re grease its motherboard, maybe somehow I scratched the grease off.
I think I found my problem. At least in the last 30 mins, it worked. My issue was with the antenna. It was in place, and connected but I haven't clicked it into its place properly. Try to push the connections a little harder, it helped me. Good luck with your phone.
hey when doing this processes, i got stuck at removing the motherboard like it was really hard to remove and i was scared that i was going to break something. this resulted to me giving up :P. any help?
+Liks A Since you're replacing the screen anyways it sounds like you could try heating with a hairdryer on the backside a little bit at a time and just carefully work at it and see if it'll pry up.
+JasserA Well on the side of where the screen is it's ok to get a little at a time to soften the adhesive. It should come loose pretty easy if it's all disconnected.
Hello i broked my screen and i'd like to remplace it but i'm afraid to damage the phone by changing the screen, i would like to change the screen without the frames, did someone do that without having DIY skills? Is this tutorial is for anyone even it's suppose to be simple ? otherwise good tutorial
+Couffer Woods Well some diy skills help but having the right part and a few of the right tools make it easier too. Get a decent screwdriver that won't strip out your screws. I would check to see if the screen with frame is affordable for you cuz it would be a lot easier for you than without frame especially if you're a little nervous going into it. I have links for the tools and part in the video description of it helps you.
+Smart Easy Repair Thanks but I don't want to replace the frames because it's too expensive and I can't find some but I will try this and I would be careful but is it that difficult to separate the frame from de screen?
+Aditya Deshpande I have a link in the video description below the video where you should be able to find one. You'll have to check if they ship to your country though.
It sounds like a connection issue to me. Sometimes if you disconnect the connectors and put the back together it works. They just don’t seat quite perfectly sometimes.
I was able to replace the screen but now I get epic lag and lock screen appearing every time I unlock the cell. has anyone experienced this? any suggestions on what to do?
Thank you for this. I figured out that a lot of what you did is actually not necessary. Especially if you can apply minimum heat (or no heat at all) to remove the display, you don't need to disconnect or remove anything except these connectors after removing the back plate:
> Optional: Disconnect the battery cable. This is not necessary, but for safety reasons and to avoid short circuiting anything. NOTE: You do not need to remove the battery itself!
> Disconnect the display cable.
> Disconnect the fingerprint sensor cable.
> Disconnect the capacitive buttons cable (the back and recent buttons).
That's it. You don't need to unscrew or remove the logic board, any of the other connectors, any other component. After that, simply do this:
1) Attempt to gently remove the display from the front, taking care you route the three cables you disconnected through their holes.
2) Remove the fingerprint sensor and capacitive buttons from the old display (as shown in video, although you can remove them as a single unit too) and affix them to the new display.
3) Route the connectors from the new display through the three holes and connect them back to the logic board (for display) or second board (for sensor and buttons).
4) Put the black stickers on the connectors and snap on the back plate.
5) Complete the installation as per video.
BONUS TIP: You may want to test your new display before installation, especially as your supplier won't accept return if you already installed it. To do so, after removing the back plate:
1) Disconnect ONLY the old display cable and connect the new display cable by laying out the display in an upside down fashion over the battery and logic board.

3) Test that the display functions properly. Also test that the touch sensitivity works fine.
4) Once done testing, power off the phone.
5) Lift up the new display, then carefully disconnect the display cable.
6) Proceed with the removal of old display and installation of new one.

+Cian Thanks man I appreciate that!
What part is the frame? I'm confused.
Hey, greetings from Germany. Here is a Question : When i put the new Display in the Frame, i think that i do need some type of adhesive ?
same question here
+Giulia De Nobili Yes I would recommend a double-sided adhesive tape.
One important thing I would add is that make sure you carefully remove the plastic gasket from old screen because you will have a gap without this gasket and all the new screen's I have seen don't have this gasket.
The gasket that you're referring to is the two sided adhesive tape.
Super helpful - thanks a lot!

For the button did you put on a coat of new adhesive or used the old one that was left on there when you removed it from the screen?
I think i was able to reuse the old one because it was still sticky enough. If it’s not very sticky it’d probably be good to replace it with some.
Alright, thanks!
so much efforts.....Thanks for sharing!
+bantakal You're welcome I'm glad it was helpful.
thanks for the help
+Morten Christiansen You're welcome.
hey
i want to ask you a question, my screen alone got broken but digitizer and LCD are okay. I use one plus 3T and wish to know how to replace that. I bought the screen alone from ebay and need your advice on this.
thanks in anticipation.
+Obajemu Davidson I haven't torn apart and one +3 at this point yet. Usually it's easiest to replace the whole LCD digitizer assembly as a complete unit.
Hey great vid, i just have one question. I put the phone back together after replacing the screen. But the screen is all black, i scratched the copper tape ting quite a bit, could this be the case?
+Rune I'm not sure about the copper tape but it sounds to me like something isn't reconnect quite right. I would double check all your connections.
Are there any risks of losing ur pics, files and data? And once you turn on ur phone after replacing the screen, do we need to login on everywhere again?
No I’ve never seen where it loses anything since the memory is on the motherboard itself. It’s a good idea o backup your phone now and then anyways, so if youre concerned you could do that just in case. It’s been fine whenever I’ve done it.
Unless you somehow fried the motherboard in the process no. In any normal situation when replacing the screen it should just be as if you turned your phone back on.
im in the uk&i notice my screen is different to the US version&the back screws are in slightly different place so not sure if the inside of the phone is the same?also yours has a little oval cut out inbetween the earpiece&the led&the uk1 doesnt?uk version isA2003..thanks anyway as atleast i now know how to take the main pieces apart&how to reassemble :-)
+Lee Herron Yeah that's interesting. Glad it helped though.
Hi, I have a question. My screen is cracked but the touch is working. I need to pry open the screen the way you did with guitar picks and that should do the trick, right? Screen glass without LCD touch is comparatively inexpensive so that's what I'm thinking of doing.
+Raman Mukhija It's usually very hard to separate the glass from the LCD I think it would be easier to change the assembly.
Thank you so much!!! It worked!
+Ruslan Ranjabar Awesome I'm glad it helped!!
Hi, what kind of glue would you suggest if the new screen doesn't stick to the frame properly?
+Istvan Szekeres I would suggest double-sided 2 MM adhesive tape. Unless you can find A double-sided adhesive that is specifically cut for this phone.
What adhesive do you recommend as most of the original is unusable. Is it okay to use silicone? I have a black tube of that. Around the touch/home/fingerprint sensor the seal is bad as thats where my glass shattered so need to re-adhere that.
Thanks to the board for any help!
+Hawaiiguy Kailua I would usually recommend a double-sided adhesive strip. I believe I have a link in the video description where you can find it if not I can send you one. If you have the silicone stuff you may try it I'm not sure how it worked though.
Smart Easy Repair thanks for the reply, I see 3M makes a tape glue kit that's laser cut for the oneplus one. Will that adhere the metal frame to the lcd digitizer replacement? I think the ONE is a plastic so not sure if it's designed to adhere to aluminum, the size should be close enough for the edges I would think, then some roll tape for the new placement of sensors speakers etc? What mm do you recommend or should I get say 1-3 assortment?
+Hawaiiguy Kailua Yea the double sided should stick fine even if its aluminum. Usually I use 2mm but sometimes it's handier to have something narrower and wider so the 1 to 3 assortment would be a good idea probably.
Smart Easy Repair thanks, think I got it, appreciate your input!
Sorry one other question, when I removed the battery I noticed the ribbon going into the battery has some play. I didn't jar or put any strain on it so the play is either like that or it was put in defective. It seems to charge and hold charge fine but since I have it all apart is there something I can investigate on the battery ribbon attachment?
hey man was wondering if you could help me out. I bought a replacement screen for my oneplus 2 but i also need replacement touch buttons for the bottom of the screen since the ribbon cable ripped and one of the buttons fell off when i broke the glass on my phone. Problem I have is i cant find anywhere online that is selling a replacement one. would you have any idea where i could find one?
Yeah sure thing. So if you follow the link in the video description below the video for the new screen, once you get to that page change the search from oneplus 2 screen to this, oneplus 2 menu back button and you should have some come up I just tried it.
Thanks man really helped me out! one last question for you. In terms of adhesive I would need some sort of adhesive to stick the buttons to the glass. would I be able to use adhesive tape for this or would the buttons not register the touch through the tape? I was just going to buy a roll of adhesive tape for the job specifically this one here tinyurl.com/y944t84d . Or is it a case that you would recommend like adhesive paste instead anyway? thanks!
No problem. Yes I think that should do the trick for you.
superb video thank u! :)
Thanks I’m glad it was helpful! 👍👊
Great video easy to follow just having one problem ether i missed something or i have a dud screen but i have no back light. the phone does boot up and work fine just no screen brightness at all . any advice anyone ?
+Peter Burke I would recheck your screen connections make sure they are connected properly sometimes it works just to disconnect them and snap them back in.
i just placed my order for the screen.. keeping my fingers crossed till then..
Ok best of luck with your repair!
muchas gracias por el video, me sirvio9 de gran ayuda para cambiar la pantalla de mi one plus 2 :D
You’re welcome.
Just one quick question, when I removed the screen all of the adheshive/silicon stayed with the old screen any advises?
Thanks for the video btw very helpful
Your welcome. I would suggest using new adhesive anyways. The old never reseals as well. I believe I have some linked in the video description below the video.
Thank you SO MUCH!
Screen replacements are a bitch, especially when it comes to the heat activated adhesive and when you are dealing with a shattered screen to be replaced.
My replacement went smoothly, I wound up using a tad bit of hot glue since I didn't have replacement adhesive.
I've done other screen replacements that DID NOT go well, like the Xperia z3. It's still sitting next to me, practically useless.
+Matt Theriot Yes they can be a pain. I'm glad the video helped thanks for the feedback.
Which screen would you recommend from ebay??
+JasserA I would mainly just look for oem quality.
thanks. it worked!
+Christoph Mitsch You're welcome. Good job!!
Gracias por el vídeo la pantalla quedó perfectamente
tanks a lot! it worked
+Enes Said Sezer Awesome great job!!
this is great thanx
+Gino Ciampaglia Thanks. :)
Is there a site in order to just buy the metal frame without the actual lcd?
+Αυτός Ο Άλλος I'm not sure you can check the link in the video description.
+Smart Easy Repair thanx for the reply. Because the frame is attached to the lcd it's probably impossible to find it separately.
Yes it is hard to find.
You should ask small retailers if they could seperate the frame with lcd for you, they might do it and I hope they make it cheaper too, if you found somebody who was wklling to do that, could you send me the link ?
I need some glue for the operation or I use the "old glue" from the phone?
It’d be best to use new probably
do I need to apply more adhesive when reassembling the display? when I was sleeping I somehow managed to break the black display bezel making the screen popout a little bit. I was going to disassemble the phone to see what's preventing it from popping back in and was wondering if I would need more adhesive when reassembling the screen.
+Christian Guitron Yes if it's popping out you may need to use more adhesive.
+Smart Easy Repair How ?
You can order some double-sided 2 mm adhesive to put on it.
+Smart Easy Repair Where do I stick it , on the lcd so it sticks to frame ? do I need to heat it or not
Yeah on the LCD where it meets the frame. I would give it a little heat once ur done and keep it pressed together for a bit.
Can I fix light bleeding heating up the adhesive on it and press the screen down (the light bleed started after a soft low height drop..) I think the adhesive is not completely stuck anyone
And yeah still rocking this phone for 4.5/5 years only now it is starting to show it's age, because of the drop :'(
Wow nice long life! It’s worth a try. I don’t know if it’ll be the same again. If not I think screens are pretty cheap for it anymore if you want to try replacing it.
thank you so much
+Max Abir You're welcome.
Do you know if there is a software issue that wont let the phone use a replacement screen? It boots up normaly and shows the start up (oneplustwo) screen but nothing after that as if it were dead. Really frustrating.
Same issue here
Great video m8
+Max Stratopoulos Thanks I'm glad it helped.
I fixed a shattered screen this way but have verticals lines in the new screen, is this a faulty screen or a missed or damaged connector? Also the power and volume buttons keep falling out with gravity. I didn't see a part that holds them in
Hey Rose, i got the same problem with the buttons. Did you found a solution? Just exchanged my screen today.
Hey again, after quick research on one of his other videos, how to change the buttons. I saw a little piece i was missing. ua-cam.com/video/Inh6r0BqxLA/v-deo.html
Look at 1:50 in the video, it's a small piece to lock the buttons.
The best I cam up with was putting a tiny bit of double stick tape in the inside of the phone where the buttons have feet that go inside the phone. It's not super sturdy but I haven't lost them yet.
screen swap went well but now the power and volume buttons come out. I didn't even touch them so it's a bit strange. any suggestions?
2018 *THANK YOU VERY MUCH*
You’re welcome I’m glad it helped.
When I unstuck the battery some black stuff came off the bottom and stuck to the battery, is this ok?
Do I need to re-apply the adhesive?
+Eshtri I think it would do a better job
which one do you recommend?
A double sided adhesive tape.
a question, i replaced another oneplus 2 screen (seccond time i did this job), but now the flash torch and the proximity sensor are no longer working. I accidently cut the copper tape in half, could the reason be something about that?
+Enes Said Sezer Yes I suppose it could I’m not exactly sure what powers that.
I just replaced the screen for my phone but I noticed that on the right side, it doesn't quite stick to the adhesive, even after holding for a few minutes. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
+matthew msh Did you try heating it up a little with a hair dryer and then holding it?
+Smart Easy Repair I did, yeah, it just doesn't seem to want to sit properly
I have the same problem, but on the left side, did you manage to fix it ?
+Pootis I ended up just using some clear tape on some weak points to hold it down and then put my case on over top
+matthew msh And how about your fingerprint sensor , is tight or a bit loose ? for me it's loose
I followed the steps and replaced the screen with a new one. But the problem i'm facing is that the screen starts showing the one plus logo and then the screen goes black. I removed the back covers and saw that there was a light running under the bottom board. Have I done something wrong?
@@ewan8939 nope. I purchsed another screen and same issue. Im being told its the problem with the screen that i received. It was damaged. But no clue whatsoever. I checked with oneplus team and they suggested i send them the phone and they will have a look at it. Then only can they describe what the issue is.
So I had an interesting situation. I replaced the screen and the screen works great. But now the phone is extremely slow in its responsiveness. ITs takes a few seconds for it to respond to anything I do on the touch screen. Scrolling for example follows me after a delay and as if it skips a bunch of frames. What do you think this could be?
Hi, just did the replacement, and faced the same issue. Also the screen lock itself from time to time. Did you managed to find the problem?
no I had no luck still. I tried flashing a different room thinking it might be software but that didn't help. I'll keep you updated if I get anything. yeah mine locks from time to time as well.
I'll try to reassemble this again, and if it's still bad, I'll try to get another from the seller. :/
Well today I reassembled the phone. Maybe it was the cable of the screen, but don't know really.
But. After some time it gets overheated, and starts the same thing again. If I let it cool down, than I can use it again for ~10 mins.
Next week I'll try to re grease its motherboard, maybe somehow I scratched the grease off.
I think I found my problem. At least in the last 30 mins, it worked.
My issue was with the antenna. It was in place, and connected but I haven't clicked it into its place properly. Try to push the connections a little harder, it helped me.
Good luck with your phone.
hey when doing this processes, i got stuck at removing the motherboard like it was really hard to remove and i was scared that i was going to break something. this resulted to me giving up :P. any help?
+Liks A Since you're replacing the screen anyways it sounds like you could try heating with a hairdryer on the backside a little bit at a time and just carefully work at it and see if it'll pry up.
Smart Easy Repair so I'm supposed to heat the motherboard?
+JasserA Well on the side of where the screen is it's ok to get a little at a time to soften the adhesive. It should come loose pretty easy if it's all disconnected.
Smart Easy Repair thank you, I will try this
Smart Easy Repair thank you, I will try this
you saved my life, thank you!!
Awesome I’m glad!! 👍👊
Hello i broked my screen and i'd like to remplace it but i'm afraid to damage the phone by changing the screen, i would like to change the screen without the frames, did someone do that without having DIY skills? Is this tutorial is for anyone even it's suppose to be simple ?
otherwise good tutorial
+Couffer Woods Well some diy skills help but having the right part and a few of the right tools make it easier too. Get a decent screwdriver that won't strip out your screws. I would check to see if the screen with frame is affordable for you cuz it would be a lot easier for you than without frame especially if you're a little nervous going into it. I have links for the tools and part in the video description of it helps you.
+Smart Easy Repair Thanks but I don't want to replace the frames because it's too expensive and I can't find some but I will try this and I would be careful but is it that difficult to separate the frame from de screen?
No it's really not too bad I didn't think. You prob will need something for heat though like a hair dryer..
Couffer Woods just take your time you will do fine.
I am from India. From where can i buy the front screen its broken.
+Aditya Deshpande I have a link in the video description below the video where you should be able to find one. You'll have to check if they ship to your country though.
Gonna try to fix my OP2 now..😶
+kamiziat K Ok best of luck!
How did it work out?
Thanks it was a pain in the ass though to take the screen off when i was shattered into million pieces.
Yeah the more shattered the worse it is!
Speaker not working after Screen Replacement..wot cud be the possible reason??
It sounds like a connection issue to me. Sometimes if you disconnect the connectors and put the back together it works. They just don’t seat quite perfectly sometimes.
Smart Easy DIY solved..didn't put the back panel..
Ok good.
I broke one of the connectors tape, now what can I do :(?
What causes blue spots on one plus two lcd screen
I was able to replace the screen but now I get epic lag and lock screen appearing every time I unlock the cell. has anyone experienced this? any suggestions on what to do?
+drancov
I replaced the screen, and got this issue too. Did you find the problem?
