Doesn't help with a burned in oled screen...
Can i use a plastic cake knife to remove the broken front glass, what type of plastic are you using? And
Can i try without hot air gun
@@afgamer5576 i would use a hair blow dryer
@Micarsim oca maybe
@@afgamer5576 So sorry, just today I realized I don't get notifications on replies, only comments.
I would not recommend plastic cake knife to remove the front glass. It is too thick.
While technically possible without hot air gun, it is painfully slow and it also increases risk of display damage as you require more force than necessary. I would not recommend it.
The plastic tool called 'spudger' seen being used in this video is actually meant for disconnecting flex cables in the phone. I find it comes in handy for scraping the old glue also, but that's about it.

Hi my dog ate the corner of my samsung galaxy s20 can this method be used instead of the tear down? I am a single mom and been struggling badly I use my phone for work I need to fix this asap it may be a fe s20 galaxy she may have chewed to the sensitivity thing lol it worked for a min lol
Hello Jenn,
Thank you for your comment!
Unfortunately, this repair is for replacing the outer glass only. If you are experiencing any sort of touch issues, that indicates the damage is beyond just the glass layer and the display must be replaced as a whole.
Second, for S20 you would need to remove the back panel to remove the front camera prior to gluing as the front camera is located within the display area.
I wish I had better news to share but if you happen to have any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further.
Have a great weekend.
@ECdiy can you say me wich things do you need for this video
Hey buddy, is the screen real glass or plastic?
Hello Jaime, thank you for taking your time to contact us. It is real glass, and We have simple tests you can conduct at home to distinguish glass vs plastic if you are interested.
To go a bit more in-depth, our glass is aluminosilicate glass which is technically what Gorilla glass is. We purchase our glass as originals, but it's physically impossible for us (or anyone in the world for that matter) to confirm that it is indeed Gorilla glass even with a spectroradiometer. However, we have done various tests including break tests to know that our glass comparable to original take-off.
Most glasses found online these days are soda lime glass, or low iron soda lime glass made to look like aluminosilicate glass and there is a big price difference.
If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us./comment further.

I've fixed 3 S9's using this kit, works good. I have not had any issues while removing the broken glass nor post installation. No difference in touch sensitivity and response from screen.
Is it risky if i too much glue is applied?
I didn't understand that part
@@real4everh do you mean once you've removed the old glass and you apply "too much" glue for new glass? I haven't any issues with, I've wiped away excess glue with no issues
@@mtb661NBC is separating the glass scratches or causes minor burning to the amoled panel?
Thanks
@@real4everh Hello, since this has not been answered, we will answer it for you. You might get scratches especially if you are not gentle with the process but scratches, even fine scratches all get filled by the LOCA. They will not be visible even upon close inspection.
Minor burning may be caused if you overheat the display which is covered in the video, but more in-depth in the 20 minute video available on our channel.

Hi what about the screen resolution ? Is there any noticable difference ?
I dont have balls to do anything like thist :-D
It's nothing to be ashamed of. I can definitely relate. I first got into this whole repair thing by learning off UA-cam videos without any prior training. What pushed me over the edge was cracking the screen that I had paid so much money to have repaired professionally shortly (2 days) after the repair. I was determined to learn how to do it myself then.
have some balls
bruh, go to the nearest sport shop and buy sum balls. not hard, recommended
You are lucky because I have balls and lost a lot of money. I broke the screen...

At the beginning of the vid, I was really doubting whether it was a real person or a speech synthesizer🙈
The crucial step in this method is to insert the razor blade exactly under the glass. Use a loupe to see exactly where. The glass is very thin, it is easy to go too deep. You must get this right for success. This step is at 1:05, but it should be more specific.
Yeah I just fucked up my phone taking the whole screen
@@weshfous2882 yeah same, i should have just taken my time, lol
This is a good kit and tutorial, BUT it would have been really nice to have had a warning as to how little variance there is to going up under the screen. It is beyond easy to accidentally slide the blade into the wrong place and completely trash the LCD underneath. Just thankful I didn't try it on the phone I use daily first.
Hello Ivy,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
From what we gather, inserting the tool too deep seems to be the most frequently occurring error.
As demonstrated in our video, you need to curl the tip and position the tool so that it is gliding just underneath the surface of the glass and you'd need to be able to see the tool as if you are looking at it behind a clear piece of glass. (Please see bit.ly/OCABladeCaution, we have also linked this image in the description section of the video before linking our store).
This also means that the tool needs to be 'leaned back' so the tip touches the underside of the front glass using the frame's lip as a fulcrum almost.
This and applying enough heat to make the repair smoother are probably the 2 most important things with this method.
Thank you again for sharing.

Hey just ordered the OCA blade and was successful in not wrecking the LCD. Very good product, I bought this and a hot plate and the blade is by far more easier to work with and produces results. I paid 130 for the hot plate and 20 for the blade so you do the math. This is an awesome product I highly recommend.
P.S. it was my first time EVER seperating the glass from the LCD. No experience just common sense. Dont go too fast and take your time. It's oddly satisfying picking little pieces of glass and collecting them as the blade saws at the adhesive.
The hot plates are alot harder to work with than youtube illustrates.
Thank you so much for your comment! The only thing I want to note for the others is that, the hot plate is not the most efficient way to heat up the glass for this particular method.
This is because is when you set it to a set temperature, it's simply heating the heating pad to that set temperature. It takes a long time for the display on it to be brought up to that temperature. This is opposed to a heat gun or even a hair dryer where the heat coming off the tool is higher.
When you use a wire tool, the display stays on the heat pad the whole time so this loss of heat/heating cycle is not an issue. I tried to use the tool with the display on the heating pad, but it is not practical at all because the tool/hands need to be so close to the heat pad.
This is mentioned in this video but what I noticed is that in room temperature, the display cools down within 10~20 seconds depending on the amount of heat that was applied, so heat needs to be applied every 10/20 seconds. It takes at least a minute or two for a display that's been cooled down to reach the temperature set on the heating pad. I'd recommend a heat-gun. It can apply heat in the area where you are working, and it only takes about 5 seconds for it to get the area hot enough.
However, I suppose the flip-side is that using a heat pad will take out the guess work/getting isopropyl alcohol to the bubbling point but for those who are looking to spend extra money in hopes of making this repair easier, I'd have to say the laser temperature gauge before the heat pad.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
@@ecdiy well the problem I was having with the hot plate was it was either not getting hot enough or something. I couldnt get the string to go through the glass it would always slip under the phone into the vacuum. I worry I wont ever get this method to work so I'm considering amazon returning it
Very good tutorial! I like how you compare the feel to everyday stuff and point out edge cases. Very intuitive to understand! Thanks 🙂

Hi please tell me where dd uou oder it..
@@pridemamba6018 links are in the video detail
Did this repair. Made a few mistakes that I could've avoided had I listened to the tutorial closer.
1. Used a hair drier instead a heat gun and after 3h I got impatient which lead to me damaging some pixels and on the sides having the LCD crystals leak.
2. When the glass is fully removed I didn't hear the part where they said you need to wait for the alcohol to really dissolve the adhesive. I assumed I just needed to apply alcohol regularly and scrape a lot. In the end I ended up bending my OLED, the panel still works but at center angles you can see the bent OLED so I thought this might be worth mentioning.
3. I got adhesive in the front camera which renders it unusable. Now I know there is a fix for this by going through the back of the phone but thing is there's also resin in the front speaker and this I don't know how to fix. The front speaker still works but it's very quiet as it can't really vibrate around a lot.
In conclusion, I know I kinda messed up and that the repair is scary, but I'm glad I did it because it showed me that something I thought impossible before has proven to be a rather easy task and in the future I'll know better than to do those mistakes :)
Would recommend this kit but I wish the site also sold those blades in packs as they are easily bent and at some point unusable
Yeah if you don't watch carefully it's easy to miss how he took out the electronics before putting the screen back on.
I think I will just live with the cracks! :)

Thank you for taking your time to share your experience!
Going slow does reduce risk but 13 hours is definitely longer than what we would want our customers to spend doing the repair by far.
I'm glad to hear you have succeeded but would you by any chance be willing to comment further on your experience? Were you using isopropyl alcohol to lubricate the tool/soften the adhesive. Were you working with a heat gun or a hair dryer?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
If you could also let us know which part of the repair took the longest/what you found the most difficult, that would be greatly appreciated as well.
@@ecdiy The process of removing the old glass took time because glue was stubborn and wouldn't get soft even though I used hair blower for 3 to 5 minutes eachtime. I guess the problem was with my screen. The phone I repaired was purchased as used so I think the seller had changed the screen before he sold it to me. The glue that person used was very stubborn. I will be changing my other phone's screen very soon and may make a video of it/share on youtube. Ofcoarse credit goes to you guys because I learnt it from you
Honestly: Why not? If your screen is cracked you can replace it for 200$ or at least try the cheap version. If you mess up you can still rely on the expensive version.

@@BIGREDnotw any tips now that you have?
@@BIGREDnotw nice job sir!
I am impressed with this tool and method. There are so many difficulties when going from the back, damaging the screen when removing it from the frame, removing and replacing the adhesive at the back of the screen, removing the glass while it's out of the frame, cleaning and handling the fragile screen.
My biggest concern is glue getting into the top camera and sensors. Especially seeing as the top frame adhesive doesn't have a barrier between the screen, the glue is free to flow into those areas. I'd want to put some adhesive barrier to halt the glue.
Thank you taking your time to comment and sharing your insight! It is greatly appreciated. "liquid barrier" tape is indeed something we explored but the result wasn't as good as it was with the previous generation that we could make a much wider 'barrier' for. If you go on our eBay store you'd actually see that for previous phones, we did just that.
It did still help a little bit, but we feared that it may give our customers a false sense of security. While debating/probing opinions from customers regarding this issue we found that there may be a way to work with a pad-based adhesive for this process so at the moment we are focusing on that.

Hello Nico, I can definitely relate. I don't think it's abnormal but please don't take it as me trying to persuade you. While we are a business, we are happy with the way things are and we are just here to provide the means for cheaper repair for those who are willing.
Having that nervousness can both work in your favor as well as work against you. Being scared will help you be more careful, but at the same time being too scared can cause it to be too stressful/frustrating which can lead to mistakes.
This repair is definitely best left for when you feel up for it, you are calm and have the time. It can be very rewarding when you are done but at the same time, as previously noted it can also be frustrating.

Hello Miguel,
Thank you for taking your time to comment. I am very sorry to hear the repair did not go as smoothly as we have hoped. Tool bending is a sign of there not being heat but it should not have caused damage to the display. Perhaps what happened was a glass got pried off without the adhesive being fully removed/sliced?

I know that LCD display will get damaged if the glue goes back of display. But how about flat AMOLED display? You only said that curved display won't get damaged.
Hello Jing, flat AMOLED, if it consists of solid display panels and digitizer like the S5,S6, and S7, excess glue getting to the back can indeed cause damage.

3:47 did you say Verizon, Horizon that blocks test mode, my friend would not buy it they will say it's fake
Hello, it is Verizon. Their firmware does not allow access to the test mode for some reason. The best way to test if it's fake is by downloading a bench testing app.
That is really neat!! Looks like a new tool for my repairs!
Nice video!
Would this work on a OnePlus 7 pro? Do you guys have kits for it?
Hello Lawrence,
Thank you for your compliment! (I do see that you had this comment on the other video as well which we responded. Below is a copy of the response we had provided. Just putting it here for the others viewing this video)
While I can confirm that OnePlus 7 Pro is made with the same specs when it comes to the adhesive used to bond the front glass and the display, I have not personally worked on it.
Although the process requires precision for all devices, the concept for the glass removal process is universal: Our OCA Blade tool is the same thickness as the wire tool, which you see many professionals on UA-cam using to do the glass separation.
As long as the tool is touching the underside of the front glass as it is being inserted into the display area, and heat is applied to soften the OCA layer, you will be able to remove the front glass.
By disassembling the phone and working with the bare display away from the phone, you can eliminate worrying about where the ideal insertion point would be on your phone specifically.
Please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further if you have any further questions/concerns.

I just bought a kit for my S8+ on 16 August . I am from Europe , when is it gonna arrive ?
Hello, thank you for taking your time to contact us and thank you very much for choosing us. Is this Stoica? We will be shipping it tomorrow as per our 1 business day handling policy for orders received after 1:00pm (ET). We tried to ship your item with our other carrier but we found out that they don't offer air shipping with tracking to Romania, so we left it for our regular carrier. Usually it takes about 8~11 business days (1.5 weeks to just over 2 weeks).
If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us.
Once again, thank you very much for choosing us and thank you for your patience.
Thank you !
@@remixatu6696 Not a problem at all. Thank you for your understanding!

Its not s8 its s8+
Thank you you are awesome
Well, you can use nylon such as dental floss or cotton string. It more save than use any hard material.
How well does this work and is it a better option?
great video mann thx helped alot
Can you please tell me how thin this Oca blade tool is ? 0.5mm or less?
It is pretty close to it, and I suppose it wouldn't be hard to find out if you were to have it but we seek your understanding in that we are not yet prepared to disclose the information publicly. It is about the thickness of a thick human hair.
If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Have a great rest of the day.
@@ecdiy Oke I understand that, I thought that I can make one for myself that is why I asked because 0.2mm is not good enough but 0.5mm is in my opinion to much but I will search that. :)
Dropped my S8+ from an EL track in Chicago. That's about four stories high from platform to street. Was surprised it was still there when I got down to street level plus it still worked (no pixels loss seen). I have to replace the front and back glass but I'm thinking of using your kit then buy a case.
Funny...I ordered this on ebay before i watched this video. Now i see this video and i realized is the same seller :)))
Too bad i put my old address as shipping address on the order. I hope they`ll change it.
Could this make dead screen pixels in future since the outer glass is not originally from samsung manufacturing ?
Thank you for your question. The front glass will not cause dead pixels in the future. We have many phones repaired using this method, some of which we actively use to this day for videos/photos/calls.
The front glass contains no electronics, and it's literally just a piece of glass that is installed to protect the AMOLED layer and give the phone the sleek feel and design.
As briefly noted in another reply, we purchase our glasses as original but only sell them as original grade as the brand does not participate in authenticating parts.
Having dealt with just about every supplier when it comes to glass replacements, and having conducted thorough testing we can tell you with confidence that the glasses we carry are indeed the highest grade you will find on the market.
Hey,
Idk if you still answer on comments but does it work for Huawei P30 Pro, too?
Hello, thank you for taking your time to comment, yes we are still responding to every inquiry in the comments section.
The kit does work for Huawei P30 Pro also and we will have a kit up for it shortly.

Best regards,
Oh yea this is doable. I was gonna just a replacement screen. This way I can keep my original Samsung screen with no cracks
Thank you for your comment! It's still not an easy process and if a mistake is made/go too fast the display can suffer from permanent damage but as long as you go carefully and slowly, this is doable.
@@ecdiy thanks.
@@ecdiy is the loca glue in the kit just like the glue that comes originally on the phone? Or will it be harder or softer in case I have to do this a second time..
@@Zx14rrrrrrrrrrr Not a problem at all. It is the least I can do. As for the LOCA glue, it is softer and would be considerably easier to remove the glass(but it's strong enough to not cause lifting in any case unless of course you lift the glass apart with heat)
@@ecdiy good to know!
Can you answer this question ASAP? I broke the protective glass on my s10+ but the touchscreen is completely fine and the device functions as normal. I found a replacement on amazon for $30 and am wondering if that is all I need for the repair. Is the digitizer in need of replacement as well? Thank you so much!!
Hello,
Thank you for your comment!
Please kindly note that we do not sell on Amazon. I have taken a quick look through Amazon and I was not able to find any kit that offers a similar solution. Our tool is still patent pending and I'm not sure if I saw a kit on there that offers a daylight cure UV glue either.
I am unable to speak for the kits on Amazon, but with ours, you'd just need a hair dryer or a heat gun as well as isopropyl alcohol for cleaning.
Any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us.
Have a great rest of the day.
These type of repair will take around 2 hours. And the chances to damage the screen or the flex cable and selfie camera during the process are quite high. Your phones worth nothing without working screens and you can forget about using the front camera anymore if you do it this way. Its highly recommended to remove all the inner components also before using the LOCA on the display .. In short just save yourself time and trouble guys.
Thank you for your comment! It is greatly appreciated. We will be sure to mention the 2 hour time frame in our full length video. As for the damage to the screen or flex cable and selfie camera, we will be going over everything that can go wrong during the repair in our in-depth video which we aim to finish today. We recently decided to make the full length video not only a how-to but how not to. Over the course of our business, and constantly exploring new possibilities, we experienced a lot of failures. Each session was recorded and by going over each clip close-up, we were able to identify exactly what caused the failure each time and discovered ways to prevent it. We are very excited to share this knowledge with the world because it isn't something we were able to find online.
One of the things we didn't get to mention in this video is the optional step of taking the back glass off to remove the front camera as a preventative measure (we actually started including the back glass tape with all of our kits so people can do this). The interesting thing we learned though, is that
a) you can remove the IR + proximity sensor as well as the front camera without having to remove the motherboard (there is enough room once you lift the motherboard on one side without disconnecting it from the rest of the phone)
and b) we experimented by pouring all 3mL LOCA around the edges of the phone (not in the middle) and leaving it un-cured for 48 hours to have it seep in to the back, to know that curved displays unlike flat displays are not affected/get shorted by LOCA seeping to the back.
In the end though, we understand that many people would rather swap the display as a whole. However we also believe in the DIY aspect of this repair which can be quite rewarding not only due to the cost saving aspect and learning new things but also in reducing electronic waste. Of course, this isn't to say there isn't a risk of something going wrong.
As with any DIY project whether it be a car repair or home renovation, there is a risk vs benefit that should be weighed. If you follow our guide closely however, the risk is minimal. In fact, I know this may come across very arrogant but I am confident that if every step is followed exactly, the repair will be a success.
ECDiy when do you think you would have the the full video tutorial ready. I’m really keen to get this project started.
@@CyrilRodriguez Hello Cyril. Thank you for checking in with us. It's being uploaded now as we speak. It's currently at 9%. When it's done, it will be available at:
ua-cam.com/video/67TvQWQs-48/v-deo.html
It started at 8:20pm(et), I was very excited and relieved. When I was done I had posted an update in the description section of the 5 minute video also.
Please take a look and please feel free to let us know of your thoughts!
Thank you and everyone for waiting so patiently.
Thank you so much for this turorial. All the other ones I've seen show dismantling of the whole phone from the back. My new S9 is currently at the bottom of a lake, my husand is using his new s10 and my old s7 for work so I'm stuck with his smashed s7 edge, until my contract is over in 2021 lol. Hopefully I can succeed with this repair. I have access to powerful UV lights at work (I work in auto body) would it possibly cause damage to the phone if I speed set using a UV light or should I just set the phone outside as recommended and be patient?
Hello Melanie, thank you for taking your time to comment. I am very sorry for having missed this comment. I definitely remember reading your comment and I thought I had replied but going over the comments section now, I realize I did not. I apologize.
As for using a UV light, it would not cause damage to use it to cure it. The strongest UV light we have here actually tacks it in seconds and fully cures it in less than a minute.

Have a great rest of the day.
Awesome.
I urgently want to rapair a random Galaxy s10e now. :D
I have watched a few dozen videos on how to remove the glass. However, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE who said to USE ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL!!!
THANK YOU.
It does magic !
You can also use it to remove batteries
Where I will get this 99%isopropyl alcohol sir?
Your CVS store and sometimes hardware/grocery stores
When will your s10 kit be in stock on your website? How does the glass quality compare to the OEM glass?
I have no idea how everyone does this, My LCD started leaking inkt straight away.
wai wai wait, yr saying the LCD screen of your CELL phone started leaking ink??? like ink for printing? you don't mean yr printer or tv but yr phone? cuz that doesn't make any sense, the only thing that can possibly "leak" from yr cell would come from yr battery, so that COULD mean you punctured yr batty bag, in which case, GET THAT SHIT REPLACED, it WILL SPARK AND CATCH FIRE
@@austinharding9734 hahaha! Noo My phone screen, I accidentally pressed into the display below the glass.
genius bro your genius
I want to do that but i'm scared of little pieces of glass that can go in the face if youre not protected, i will try it with a full protection mask, this video is very clear, thanks.
That is indeed one of the things to watch out for during the repair.
We've been experimenting with using wire tool along with the OCA blade because one of the shops we sell parts to regularly told us about it, and it seems to work quite well. If you do this, you can reduce the risk of the glass going in the face dramatically also.
Using the wire tool alone, you'd have to take the phone apart and it'd constantly catch an edge of a broken glass so you would also use the OCA blade whenever the wire catches an edge, (use the OCA blade to create a 'bridge'/'transition' so the wire can overcome the edge it is catching). Using the combination will also dramatically increase the longevity of the tool as well.
We do have the wire tool and if you are interested or if you just have any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further.
Best regards,
Okay so, after doing this myself the kit itself is amazing. It comes with everything you will need to fix your phone. However, here's some tips:
Use the tools that look like guitar picks they send you to pry the corner on the top first. Use a blowdryer to heat it a bit as it will soften the glue and make this easier. Do the same with the bottom BUT BE VERY CAREFUL. There is a cable connector on the bottom of your phone under the screen that you can cut through or snap off. Once you got the corners lifted a little with the picks, use the thin wedge tool made from aluminum or whatnot to start wedging at the glue in the center from the SIDE. The top will come off EASY once this is done. When you get to the bottom of the phone be EXTREMELY careful and PATIENT. There is a very thin LCD cable that connects from inside the frame under your touchscreen to the bottom of the touch screen itself and it can be nicked or cut through, even pulled off if not careful when removing the bottom. Go very slowly lifting the bottom and gently peel the cable away from any glue that might have it sticking. Once you get that part done, you should be solid. Clean the surface of the touchscreen with Asopropyl alcohol to remove any glue, you want as clean a surface as possible or the new glass cover might not be seated tightly enough to give a decent sensitivity touch to your screen itself. After that, apply the glue as stated above, use the clips they provide you with to keep the screen in place, use the corners for those. Let it treat in the sunlight, good to go.
what model? Tho each phone has a GENRAL similar layout, each maker and even model varies considerably, from my s7 to s8 to my current s10, the mother board never changed, but the accessories, connectors, and even the screen itself were completely changed. this couldn't be more true than any other model ive taken apart other than with the s10, cant believe how crazy they got with that phones screen
Thank you so much for this bro. I fixed an iPhone 13 and a 12 pro max following your other video. Everything went perfectly.
Gonna pick up an S20 to try this and flip it
The newer iPhones are (surprisingly) much much easier than the Samsung curved screens. With iOS 16 & up displaying error messages when you replace the display as a whole, glass only repairs are valued much higher for iPhones as well in terms of profit for flipping.
If Samsung curved screens are a 9/10 on the difficulty scale, I'd say iPhone 12~14 are 3/10, flat display Samsung and Pixel phones are a 5/10.
What makes it difficult is mainly due to how fragile the display is. Really taking your time/going slow while ensuring enough heat is there is very important. Newer iPhones and Pixel phones are quite forgiving to mistakes but Samsung curved screens are not.

Is it a risk that if I use b7000 it gets in the camera on a Motorola 5g plus. And is it possible to this with dubble sided tape with any machine
Hello Joran,
I apologize for the delay in my response but B7000 is not optically clear and B7000 is not to be used for this purpose.
You can use B7000 to glue a display panel (LCD/AMOLED + digitizer + front glass combo) to the frame, but not for gluing the front glass/digitizer to the display.
Could you kindly clarify what you mean when you say "is it possible to this with double sided tape with any machine"? Not sure what machine you may be referring to.
Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us.
Best regards,
@@ecdiy sorry i meant without any machine, and if b7000 isnt good which glue is good?
@@jorandon7438 You can use any LOCA (Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive).
The one featured in this video is called Stronghold, and it is specially formulated to be hypersensitive to UV so that even the trace amount of UV present in daylight is enough to cure the glue. Standard LOCA glue requires a UV light to cure.
Just ordered my kit from your guys site for my Note 9. Hopefully this repair isnt too hard & Im able to fix my phone properly. I've been using a crappy motorola ever since I broke the glass on my Samsung so ill def. recommended your site and vids.
Did it go well?
did it go well?
@@finnballtipper9521 Not good at all, trying to remove the glass from the actual screen was way more complicatedthen the video made it look. I eventually got the glass removed but the lcd, or whatever the screen is, is very delicate. I damaged it so I had to replace the whole thing costing me $150.
HI THERE WHAT A VIDEO YOU ARE A STAR !!!! 5 STARS FOR THIS EXPERT MY
BUSINESS IS FLYING HIGH WITH ALL I HELP I GET FROM YOUR VIDEOS
I always crack my lcd when i try this
Hello,
Thank you for taking your time to comment.
To best assist you, could you kindly confirm if you are referring to the method and tool shown in this video? A few have commented on our videos in the past indicating that they used the method, but only with a tool that was 'similar' like a standard pry tool.
Please feel free to contact us either way, and please feel free to send us photos. We will take a look and get back to you.
The glass removal process is a delicate process for sure across all devices as mentioned in the videos but the concept behind it is more or less universal. The glue layer is thicker than our OCA blade, and the OCA blade is the same thickness as the wire tool that you see readily being used on UA-cam. Heat softens the glue to make the insertion easier.

How long does the shipping take
Make sure you cut into only the glass part if you are doing this I messed up and cut into the panel
Does this work on the Note 9 ? Please let me know... Thanks, and nice video.
Hello, thank you for taking your time to comment and thank you for the compliment!
Yes, the method is identical for Note 8 and Note 9.
Actually the glass removal process is the same for Note 10/Note 10+/S10/S10+/S10e and most other smartphones as well. The difference is that phones with camera within the display area, the phone would need to be taken apart for the gluing process.
