for any novice repair technicians I would recommend a full frame swap as it makes this repair MUCH easier (and is actually how Samsung repairs their devices).

[@l-sev3n22]

And durable too

[@kevinhutcheson2660]

Full frame swap is the best way. If you do not clean the screen adhesive perfectly, you are likely to damage the OLED panel and end up with pink and green lines.

[@sillybumfluff]

What's a full frame swap? Thank you :)

[@MOXXmobile]

​@@kevinhutcheson2660 hey bro, question, is too much difference between Oled replacement instead of the original super amoled screen??
I need to buy a replacement for the S21 plus and is Cheap the oled opción. But I'm not sure.

[@prestonthi2358]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@boejiden8859]

Do a teardown on the NZXT Capsule. It would be awesome to see what's replaceable.

[@undefinedxx55]

Remember to disconnect the battery every time you mess with the display ribbon because I accidentally shorted it while testing the replacement screen. Thankfully despite the smoke and burnt smell it still works just fine lol

[@mvidalloiii]

Hello, where can I buy back adhesive?

[@eljoselitoms7211]

Hey, When will we see the 10.2 iPad teardown?

[@Charly_Z]

Is the iopener sold separately?

[@AmandaFifer]

What is the flash light cover on the back panel part number? S21 plus

[@ronlevin2339]

I love that battery should not be removed. It so difficult to do it on Samsung phones

[@n0cturn2l]

Put the phone with the scren facing down on the heat pad for 5 minutes and it will be easy to remove it, if u dont have a heat pad use isopropyl alcohol and wait a few minutes before pulling the battery out

[@matheuspdossantos6280]

After applying the new stickers does the phone still have water resistance?

[@dead_head]

I read somewhere that after the phone is opened for the first time it loses most of its water resistance but that might just be a scare tactic

[@n0cturn2l]

Why would you consider this way when samsung provides original screens with frame to resellers?

[@larrytraber]

The frame isn't original from most sellers

[@n0cturn2l]

@@larrytraber What do you mean?

[@kevinhutcheson2660]

@@larrytraber You are buying from the wrong people if it is not a service pack or refurbished original.

[@undefinedxx55]

Because it's usually significantly more expensive, depending on the model.

[@EME-ep7ck]

So if I order it doesn’t this come with the frame ?

[@giabaotang6103]

At this point, i would just buy a screen with a frame pre installed

[@haimVitas]

hello does anyone know the answer i have a samsung j7 unresponsive if i remove the motherboard and move it to another j7 device will i see all my data from the previous device?

[@steveuria3428]

If you’re able to do that it’s worth a shot

[@mohammedfarhanahmed9810]

👍👍🌹

[@tammierichardson5740]

How about s video on how divorce Bixby?

[@Shadab222]

This phone snapdragon 888 virant

[@iamjuice7479]

Why not just keep phone turned off skip all other stages and simply remove the screen?

[@hakeem4870]

The phone turned off does not mean the battery doesn’t have energy. One wrong touch and you could accidentally create a short circuit between the battery, tweezer and motherboard, and fry your phone
