  • @retiredsearge
    @retiredsearge 8 років тому +1

    Tearing it apart is the easy part. Putting it back together is when the fun starts. Would be nice to know what adhesive to use for reassembly.

    • @conradyeadon8714
      @conradyeadon8714 8 років тому

      cement usually works ;) no I'm kidding, it's best to buy 1mm by however many metres you want strong double sided sticky tape to use as an adhesive but the problem you then face is if it gets hot in your pocket the screen will fall out! I have some special double sided tape that is yellow in colour, it is unbelievably strong and heat resistant so you could look for some of that. Another thing that I prefer to use (usually on waterproof phones though) is gasket sealant/glue as it holds extremely well, can be applied very thinly, completely heat resistant and is also water and dust proof (it is difficult to use so only use it if you are brave, an expert or have practised a few times before). The problem with the heat resistant properties of adhesives when fixing a phone is that it makes it a tough job to replace again if the screen breaks once more so you need to be wise in which one you use. I hope that helps!

  • @MikeLeVanRealtor
    @MikeLeVanRealtor 8 років тому +2

    Thanks, almost done. Now if I just don't break it putting it back together in the frame. I will say that you make it look much easier than it is. Not sure how much heat you are ok to use but I would suggest sitting the whole unit on a hot pad if you have one and letting it sit there for a half hour or so in order to really loosen up the adhesive. My bezel was pretty much fused to the screen so of course I finished shattering the glass and broke the bezel (midframe) getting it out. Fortunately my new screen came with a new midframe. Why did you not advise to go ahead and disconnect the other two wires connecting the mother board to the lower half of the case? Seems like it frees up more work area to get the two cables off and on the screen.

  • @Repairsuniverseusa
    @Repairsuniverseusa  10 років тому +3

    We highly recommend replacing both the touch screen and LCD screen. The two parts come fused together and it is very difficult to separate the two. Because of this, we only offer the combination screen (both touch screen and LCD).

    My screen is crack, but the lcd still works fine and great just the screen is crack and the glass just bothers me
    So do I need to fix everything even though the lcd works or can i just fix the glass if so do you have a tutorial for it or is it not that much diffrent from this vidoe and another video where they just fix the glass because i haven't found a video just them fixing everything

    Another question. The reason I'm trying to open it is because the home button got stuck and I know it's not gunk, but if I press really hard on the lower part of the home button it works fine. Do you know what might be causing this ? And is it fixable if I open the iPod ?

    I'm pretty sure I cracked both my LCD and glass (I understand that this is not a tutorial for glass only), as there are several multicolor lines down the middle. By replacing the glass only and NOT the LCD, is the only problem that the lines will still be there, or are there other effects as well? Thanks :)

Is there any way to replace only the glass and not the screen itself? Because I can't afford replacing the screen. I ordered the outer glass but I don't know if it is possible to replace only that part. Please answer! Thanks :)
