Broke Phone Fix With Toothpaste, Superglue and Resin! (Repairing cracked phone screen.)

[@Like-a-PROinBERLIN]

Give this man a youtube award or even an emmy for the best, detailed and most usefull video about this topic!!!

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Glad it was helpful :]

[@AndrewMares-ui6je]

I like that you try differant things and give it an honest effort. Remember though to follow direction and modifying the directions can lead to failure and unexpected results. I only dont see why you would put down the product when their directions where not followed. It worked, maybe not to expectations, but fixing carelessness is a hit and miss operation. If we didnt drop our phones because we wasnt paying attention to what we was supposed to be doing we wouldn't need to fix it in the first place. I do like your efforts and you put in an honest review and I have a lot of respect for your channel . Thanks🎉😊

[@inconspicuous-nobody]

Instead of superglue, some screen appropriate loca and a curved glass screen protector without the original adhesive is a decent option to use to stabilize the larger cracks and actually the "appropriate" screen protector for a curved display. I got a nice spec phone for cheap with a crack, I've been wanting to do this but I'm too much of a perfectionist to start. There's also a surface pro 7 listed not far from my area for 200 with the glass shattered but LCD intact, if I had a tad more experience I'd just about teleport there to buy it. Hence me doing "KZbin research" right now, ack... Thanks for the informative video and for sharing your outside the box thinking

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Thank you for the information. And the comment :)

[@hectorcasado1038]

Thank you so much for your videos. You seem to be a very honest and practical guy. Thank you again and I’ll be looking forward to see what practical advise and ideas you’ll share with us.

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Thank you :)

[@lulul]

that came out to be much better than i expected. good job!

[@sorenzx1923]

I had my S9+ for almost 5 years before i cracked my screen. Had it replaced, and after only a couple months, ive cracked it again. Teach me to keep my keys in the same pocket as my phone. Im going to try using UV clear resin and a vaccume chamber to pull it through the crack. Hopefully the chamber wont totally destroy the phone. But we will see

[@FabAlb166]

Did you have any success with this method? i have also thought about the vacuum method but was also in fear it could ruin the device...

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

I am also curious if it worked out?

[@sorenzx1923]

Well, lets just say it was a bad idea. I dont reccomend trying it. :P put the resin over the cracks, put it in the vaccume, and it just cracked the screen further until it broke the water resistant seals. Pretty much ended the screen right then and there. Phone has now been replaced :P

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

I see, well thank you for sharing so I and others know :)

[@locouk]

I’m curious about this UVC light and it it could destroy a wasp nest. We have an underground nest at work so it’d be interesting to lower a bulb into the entrance and see if it gets rid of them after a couple of days. Edit: Instead of superglue, the superglue made for glass might be a better option. It’s formulated to have a similar refractive index as the glass.

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Likely it can, it causes sunburn in a matter of seconds. UVC actually is used for insect control. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4260232/#idm140567839436800title The glass glue is actually a good idea especially as you say it has a similar IOR.

[@p1dru2art]

There's a powder you can you mix with hot water from your garden specialty store

[@meganjilka]

I did pretty much the same thing. $100 phones until I splurged on the Note 9 ($600). Well I ran it over about one year later... I got it professionally fixed and then about 2-3 months later my daughter dropped it in the tile.. cracked the phone screen again. The cameras still dont work anyway so I now have a LG Stylo 4. It is much nicer than I anticipated and for $100 I would have bought it originally lol ( and no curved edges!) So I am trying to fix the Note9 crack in a similar manner just to see if I can fix it.

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

I wish you luck!

[@aliciamaillet8869]

Life proof cases are the ones that we use. I forget the name of the one that we have however there is only one for the S9 that has a built in screen protector. Best expense yet.

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

I'll maybe check them out in the future, thank you.

[@stephanielawson2384]

How did this hold up? Did you notice spreading of the crack with continued use?

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Still using the same phone. The fix has worked well even through many other drops.

[@richjacobs9736]

As I always say 90% better

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Sometimes that is the best you can do.

[@sintaxera]

Got a note8, I hear you bud. Luckily its a work phone with $10/mn insurance and was replaced in a few days

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Opphh, yeah that would be another expensive one. Glad your insurance covered it.

They ALWAYS smash there. Either that side or the other but that high up and right on the side and not just the edge model. But youre right..i had one, the edge model sucked!

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Yeah it did, it ended up breaking again. Not on the side I fixed, but on the other side when it fell out of my pocket and hit a ladder rung the same exact way. Was not happy at all...

[@rogerraven6976]

Can not find screen protector for curved edges??? Try go a bit further then Walmart and you might have some luck. BTW I have a note 9 and love the curved edges.

[@Leo99929]

The curved edges are specifically to increase the number of cracked screens, to that more people replace their phones. They otherwise result in a worse user experience as your hand holding it touches the touch screen more easily, meaning you have to take more care to hold it, and it distorts the image to some degree. It's a straight up con. Glass backs on phones would also be a complete con if it weren't for inductive charging. You can't use a metal back with that so it's either plastic or glass, and glass it perceived as "more premium". It is fancy, but I'd rather have a robust polycarbonate option, thank you. or even maybe composite.

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

I would also prefer more durable over fancy.

[@mtndew010572]

Get dome screen they are made for curved screen A little pricey $50 for 2 and a bit more complicated to install but well worth the money for the protection

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

I just wish that in general this curve screen fad would die. It's bad enough to have to shell out so much for a phone... But another $100 for a good case and protectors is really salt in the wound XD

[@p1dru2art]

Exactly

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

About the curved screens?

[@ThabangMalahlela-jj7ni]

Thanks So much 🙏

[@susi9267]

I have a S9 and I have a case that is for an S9 and works great I just don't like the teal color, Do u want it, I love my S9. I just got a glittery case for my S9 with a military grade protection screen protector. This is guaranteed for life. Susi

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Thanks for the offer but I am okay.

[@janicescragg2388]

I didn't have my phone two weeks when I cracked my screen. I wasn't able to get a case because the place I got it at didn't have any cases for them. I was quoted two hundred dollars to fix it. I can't afford that on top of the payments for the phone so I am considering trying this. Thank you for sharing. I will try it with fingers crossed.

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

I hope it works well for you as it did me.

[@talis6415]

I've got an s9+ too and that stupid curved screen is the bane of my existence. I'm on my second screen protector and its cracked but I'm waiting until it pops off like the first to replace it becuse their so expensive. The least they could do is sell them for $5 dollars if they won't stick properly and break in your pocket

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Yeah, it's one of the worst phone design choices I've even seen.

[@talis6415]

@@TrollFaceTheMan yeah I'm starting to think there starting to ramp up the planned obsolescence more and more with phones every generation. It's hard to get a good phone case that even slightly protects my current phone but my old phone is practically indestructible

[@peterzum]

(From your old 555 patreon) The curved edges also make it really hard to replace the LCD. I’m an electrical engineer and I’ve done a lot of digitizer and LCD replacements. But the Samsung made it so much more difficult with those stupid curved edges. Got an iPhone 12 right now, flat screen. But what I’ve heard is that Apple is making home repair impossible by making all the parts have signatures that have to match so it makes the repair more difficult. I haven’t had to repair this phone yet, so I don’t know first hand, it’s just stuff I’ve heard is coming or may be here already.

[@TrollFaceTheMan]

Hey I appreciate the support you gave for the channel a lot, so thank you! Unfortunately I am not sure which patron you are specifically because I can mainly just see names in history and not the specific pledge amount. If you remember and can give the first and last letters or numbers of your username on there, then I can thank you properly. And yes unfortunately Phone makers (Especially Apple) and just about everyone else is trying to make things as hard to repair and throw away as possible. Which is Especially ridiculous as companies like Apple try and say how much they do to help the environment when non repairable or servicable products generate so much harmful Ewaste. And new waste while manufacturing that it's not even ironically funny. Just sad. Companies should be held responsible for it, but Especially in the US they just buy themselves out of any trouble they should get in and pay to make sure that laws that benefit them are the ones that stay or get created. It's a sad thing.

[@rogerraven6976]

Curved edges actually makes it easier to replace the lcd unit. Oh and I'm not some self proclaimed technician .

[@CmdrTigerKing]

that whole vacuum seal to remove air seemed pointless

It is to pull air out so the resin flows back in.
