Galaxy S5 Screen Repair, Charging Port Fix, Complete Teardown

[@chantelbrown3257]

Of all the videos I had watched to replace the charging port, this was the only one that helped. As a newbie to tearing down a phone, I watched at my own pace (pausing when needed) and did everything shown. In the end, I only lost one screw for the backing BUT my S5 is charging now.

[@TechThatYT]

Oh my gosh his voice. His quality has changed a lot.

[@___xyz___]

Varied Gamer does it make you moist?

[@BigTittyJiggleMcTingle]

Yep It changed alot

[@Mommy2Gavin123108]

You suck

[@ricfer620]

I just watched the teardown and reassembly, one of the best I've seen so far! thanks for the effort!!

[@whipmanjak]

Really interesting and helpful video! I love my S5, but my only beef with it is how easily the fake chrome sides scratch

[@MsUltrafox]

I have the S5 since the day it came out and the ONLY thing I had to replace until today was the battery. New battery cost me about $16,- with shipping included and 15 seconds to replace it.

[@astraz3699]

I am not buying another Flippin Galaxy phone I had mine for 5 years and now I regret it it won’t charge and I ain’t going to Replace mine I bet the people Who Replace My phone will just let it catch on fire now how am I going to call my mom...

[@jwccsnm]

I feel like if I close my eyes, I'm watch Bob Ross painting happy little trees. This guy puts you at ease. Nice informative video.

[@electronicdefense3079]

Replaced my loudspeaker today following these instructions. Really appreciate your putting this up, and especially giving some of the reasons why you did some things in specific ways... really helps to understand it better. Thank you!

[@kitkats482]

Today's project was replacing screens, charging ports, and batteries on my Galaxy S5 (backup phone) and S6 (primary). Thanks for helping an amateur get both back to like new status :)

[@earlkeim4713]

I have to say, your videos are always excellent. You speak in a moderate and clear tone of voice. Great job!

[@TectrixGamingZension]

Much is appreciated. Your video saved an $80 labor fee from a phone repair shop. (not including the $14 mid frame off of amazon I had already purchased)

[@0takudad]

June 2020 and I'm watching this on my Galaxy S5 with a hairline crack on the screen. Its old but reliable. Its still my daily driver.

[@vgchat]

Very nice but I was hoping to find a bend/burn/scratch test for the S5 on your channel.

[@xi2185]

Watching this on my beat up s5 😂😂

[@austinalacrity6229]

LW same here

[@emanuelnewman1700]

My s5 isn't beat up XD

[@sonusingh-dw7ch]

same here

[@thisseagamer8165]

Watching on a normal old s5

[@neontempzzz]

Wanna talk beaten? Mine has a damned power short lol

[@aashis555]

Hello Jerry, seems to me you have the delicate hands of a surgeon. Just flawless... I don't have the guts to repair the charging port on the s5 because just thinking about breaking the display gives me chill down the spine. Till now I have worked on the ones which have broken display. Any suggestions for removing the lcd without damaging it. Again, thanks for these awesome videos....

[@Philharrydawson]

Smooth. like your style and thanks for the no nonsense video. I find myself having to eat my fist, while quietly screaming, as people um and arr through a presentation. I shall have a go at replacing the screen with confidence. Cheers.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Phil Dawson That is a pet peeve of mine as well. I love getting cold hard facts quickly, so I try to keep my videos the same way.

[@gerrymelder773]

So far the best video Jerry.....very professional.......

[@JerryRigEverything]

Thanks! I had fun making it.

[@loudest_of_noises]

Nice to see a new video from you man! Good goin' as always

[@JerryRigEverything]

Thanks! I got a little lazy there for a bit. But i'm getting back in the game. At least 2 solid videos a week from now on. Thats the goal.

[@dottormoresco]

Great video, thank you for shared. A question: the sim card reader is now soldered on motherboard. Is still replaceable or is necessary replace the whole motherboard?

[@JerryRigEverything]

Unless you can find a local repair shop capable of micro soldering... its unrepairable.

[@SunsetBlvd13]

This brings back memories. I had my s5 for three years and I’m telling it looks *rough*

[@astraz3699]

Mariana Paredes I had mine for 5 years

[@merrillgray]

Great Video!! Does the screen NEED to be separated from the midframe to replace just the glass?

[@Sunshine-ci6wx]

Awesome video. Do you still repair these phones?

[@gr8safi1]

To separate your screen from the mid-frame you need a couple of hours. The Copper shield is very tricky as the home button ribbon is attached to it with adhesive and one has to be very careful not to cut it. Also the return & App killer buttons at the bottom one has to be very careful, you need plenty of patience and with the aid of surgical spirits (clear alcohol) 2 loosen the adhesive. Use of a syringe and needle helps a lot.

[@CrazyCandyCrush]

Hi Jerry; I had problems with the Gps; it's always off by 25/30 meters. Do you have any idea what's wrong with it?

[@RobertBarnett09]

This is a good video. Thank you. Question: Do you know of the screen parts vary in design/compatibility by carrier?

[@JerryRigEverything]

I dont think so. I know sometimes the internal parts vary slightly, but since Samsung is the only manufacture of the AMOLED screens I would say they are all the same.

[@RobertBarnett09]

JerryRigEverything That's what I was thinking/hoping for. I hate parts that vary by carrier (CDMA-GSM) It makes things unreasonably complicated. I know the S3 and S4 screen parts were the same... I'd hope they didn't decide to switch it up.

[@1empyre1life]

I've noticed the multiple people use "LCD" when referring to the display. The Galaxy S5 uses an OLED (specifically AMOLED) display, not an LCD. I only bring this up because the two display types have some fairly different properties. The video was good though. Thanks for sharing.

[@JerryRigEverything]

1empyre No problem! I should get in the habit of using the right terms. Thanks for watching!

[@kernel_data_inpage_error]

1:36 too late I already torn the ribbons, the replacement is like 3 $ so I ordered it, is my ONLY phone so I must get it fixed, the AMOLED is cracked so is useless right now

[@palmwaytech]

Hi, i enjoyed the video. ----- heat gun - what heat gun are you using to do this?

[@fuzzfizz]

I know it's my own fault, but I just wanna say, I broke my top ribbon connector while prying the screen... R.i.p my S5

[@marwanahmed317]

omg

[@ITAutos]

fuzzfizz damn,the screen of the S5 was the most expensive part

[@MtnDrew406]

Hey I just replaced my charging port thanks so much for the awesome video. Everything works EXCEPT my "back" and "task manager" touch buttons. What could this be? Did I rip a cable when I pulled the screen off? The home button works fine though - thanks!

[@hottancyn123]

+MtnDrew406 Hey I have this same problem, did you figure out the cause and more importantly the fix for it?

[@MtnDrew406]

+CyndiSellsTheBeachSWFL No unfortunately. I still use the phone without the touch buttons. BUT I believe it is a ribbon cable improperly seated. If I decide to fix my screen I will attempt to figure it out.

[@andrewpotts9948]

Thanks Jerry. A very useful video.

[@NJMike67]

Jerry - Great video. My GS5 took a dunk in the porcelain puddle last night. Unfortunately, the impact popped the back case a tiny bit. Spent the night in a bowl of rice and some dessicant packs, but its dead now. How do I go about figuring what part is bad, or do I just call it a loss?

[@JerryRigEverything]

Mike Luca Try a new battery first! If the new battery doesnt work.... you might just be outta luck.

[@kaleadean3953]

So the heating method you use to separate the screen is obviously a heat gun. Have you used any other methods to do this that any of us would have around are homes besides a blow dryer? I just had an idea but not sure if it's a good one. Lol. I've been eyeballing my iron for a half an hour now wondering if a good amount of material (linen, washcloths, heavy cotton something or other) could help buffer as well as conduct heat to the screen. Applied in a slow and careful manner of course. Your thoughts and opinion would be greatly appreciated! Great video btw! keep um comin!

[@JerryRigEverything]

+kalea dean Thank you. I have had 2 people say they successfully used an iron... BUT without a temperature sensor to make sure you arent melting your phone... it seems dangerous to me.... BUT if you watch it close enough... maybe it will work.

[@kaleadean3953]

First of all thank u for responding so quickly and I apologize for not thanking u sooner. Happy to report the iron idea worked! First try too. I wanted to practice on an old broken phone no one in my house would even consider being seen in public with (iphone 5s, I know, I live with a bunch of phone snobs) but the glass wasn't broken. The problem was internal and really not worth fixing. So I figured I had nothing to lose and successfully separated the glass from the digitizer and lcd and neither of them broke using my iron set on low, a pillow case and 4 playing cards. I forgot the most important tool of all was PATIENCE.

[@kaleadean3953]

to clarify i didn't forget to practice patience, i meant i forgot to mention how important patience is. without it, your screwed. probably why so many people blow it and give up.

[@snekboi8254]

I can do this to mine by dropping it.

[@Duriel1000]

Can I use a clothes steamer to heat up the screen to remove it? How fragile do you need to be when lifting the screen up? Good video!

[@user-oc8en8hy6h]

Another great disassembly, keep it up :)

[@JerryRigEverything]

Thanks!

[@danielcarbaugh8577]

Awesome video! I dropped and cracked the glass on my screen 2 months back and was finally going to attempt to replace just the glass on the display earlier today. Before I even took anything apart however my display went black, if i fiddled with the buttons the display would light up with a stationary static pattern for a while until i locked it. The bottom buttons lit up and it was making notification noises, and low battery noises. Jerry, does this sound like something came loose connecting the display or have the cracks and continued wear finally killed my display?

[@JerryRigEverything]

Daniel Carbaugh It sounds like the display is indeed dead.

[@kittentude]

Good tutorial! I do have a question. Using the old adhesive to fasten the screen back down, will the phone still be as water repellant with no issues??? My sister has a boat dock at her house and kayaks. The phone stays in two baggies unless she takes a picture, which means there is a chance it could get wet. I gave my old S5 to her, but inserting a new SD card the phone is not recognizing it. (I did check the card with another device, and try another SD in the S5.) A new port is resonably priced. I do wish you had revoved the sd card slot as well, but I'm sure I can find it somewhere. Thank you!

[@ahassen1236]

Jerry from reading some comments you're an absolute credit. Anyway, purely cosmetic but I've got scratches and bumps to the silver trim around the S5 when it fell to the floor. Can this replaced alone? Is there a part number? Do I still have it strip it to the point of 3 mins in your film? Thanks.

[@JerryRigEverything]

A Hassen To replace the frame... is a bit more tricky. If its purely cosmetic... I wouldnt risk taking the phone apart. You risk a lot when you open this particular phone up.

[@ahassen1236]

No problem. Thanks.

[@johncivelloproductions]

Hi Jerry, is there a replacement part for the charging port cover? Or do you need to replace the charging port as well?

[@johne7433]

Very very helpful and interesting thankyou

[@mtbingdude64]

Hey so i dropped my S5, and dented the metal border that goes around the edge of the phone seen at 2:45 . I plan to replace it, but i dont know what the part is called. Would i have to replace that whole section? Or does the metal part seperate entirely? Id appreciate a response whenever you have time! Thanks in advance, awesome video :)

[@JerryRigEverything]

mtbingdude64 Thanks for watching! The metal boarder is actually attached to the midframe. (the central part in the phone.) It is extremely difficult to replace as everything inside the phone would need to be transferred to the new midframe.

[@cameronketch2363]

JerryRigEverything I have the same issue. I was given a super messed up S5 so I thought I would teach myself some phone repair. Would you need to transfer everything if you used something like this? www.etradesupply.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900-rear-housing-white.html Thanks!

[@JerryRigEverything]

Ya, once you get the guts outta the phone, you can just move them over to that backplate.

[@aliar3771]

this is a surgery my friend.

[@bdhillondhillon8054]

Ali A I agreed with you

[@pixlitol]

Yeah ikr

[@FantasyNero]

it's Plastic surgery explaination he make surgery to Plastics

[@Cserpico06]

Hey Jerry, thanks for posting the video. I just have one question that hopefully you can answer. I pressure cracked the screen on my S5, and then phone still works as far as i can tell, but the display doesnt light up at all. I guess my question is, is the screen a separate part from the LCD, or is the screen all encompassing? I just dont want to buy the screen and have it be a different problem. Thanks again!

[@JerryRigEverything]

The screen includes the Glass and the LCD so all you have to do is buy the whole unit, and plug it in. Should only take about 30 minutes. Watch my Galaxy s5 glass only replacement video to get a good idea of how its done. (Even though you are just replacing the whole screen, and not just the glass.)

[@lucaswetherall1964]

Would you be willing to do a glass only tutorial? My S5 fell from my pocket while tying my shoe and landed on a rock. The digitizer and LCD work perfectly just the lens on the top is cracked. I've done some glass only screen repair for friends on an S3 and an iphone 4, and they went pretty smoothly, however i noticed the foil on the back of the S5 screen assembly. Can that be removed or gotten under? Any reply would be awesome and i really enjoyed the video definitely saving it to watch again at a later date.

[@austinkelley230]

You should do one of the camera lense replacement I broke mine today.

[@jesuseduardovalerio3611]

Awesome video! I have one question though, my charging port messed up and my battery dies fast, I went to check it out and they told me you couldn't fix the charging port of the galaxy s5, this was about a month ago, is this the solution? Will I be able to fix it like the other galaxy S phones?

[@DavidShaneMartin]

Can you reveal what tools you are using here and where you got them. Im specifically interested in the clear, seemingly hard plastic, spudger you used here. Thanks for any help.

[@JerryRigEverything]

I actually made about 500 of those to sell. lol, but it turns out they are pretty brittle and end up breaking just a little if you apply too much pressure. Ill send ya one for free if you want. Just send me an email and your address. You can find my email in the 'About' section of my channel page.

[@blizzap09]

JerryRigEverything how much would one of those cost i need that pacific tool i got nothing else like it to use

[@kamalmehta6703]

Well made and informative vid, nice work

[@JerryRigEverything]

Thanks! I had fun making it.

[@TOPCOPGURU]

WOW, I can't believe you took the entire cell apart. Question for you-I just had my screen replaced on my S5 after a friend dropped it and cracked the screen. After the lady had it fixed the bottom two LCD lights would not come on(the back button and brower button). She mentioned she would get me another screen. When I got home, I googled why this would occur and it mostly mentioned using a spudger tool in the wrong way. She may have used too much force to pry it off. At home I also noticed my LCD lights no longer worked as well in the top right corner. Also, I get some serious issues now with screens popping up, like twitching from screen to screen, texts that jump all over the place and fonts changing. WTH is this? Any idea's when I go back to her today and ask her? Thank you. Mike

[@Jpbello07]

Hey Jery, Did you notice any PH water strips inside the phone, when you took it apart? I'm trying to see if Samsung will know if our phones got wet inside it. The back sealed very well, two ph strips on the battery and the other where the battery sits on is still good.

[@Jpbello07]

Basically my problem is, I took my phone for a swim, everything works. It's just it takes about five times for me to lock/unlock it before the screen appears.

[@JerryRigEverything]

***** Honestly I dont remember any on the inside...

[@dennis9113]

Very nice voice and good video! BTW, can someone tell me what could cause the microphone for calling and all sensors to be disabled? The microphone for video recordings works, though. I am also pretty sure it is not the software, since I installed a stock to make it sure.

[@JerryRigEverything]

+Dennis D Sometimes, if there is something in your headphone jack, It will make the phone think that there are headphones/microphones plugged in, even when they arent. And that might disable the externals on the device.

[@dennis9113]

+JerryRigEverything Is the phone still Water proof when opened? I already have a headphone Jack lieing around here...

[@yuumi925]

U make it look really easy.

[@Greant76]

I assume its no longer waterproof once its taken apart and put back together?

[@x1lovesexx]

Is not "waterproof" is water resistant wich is different!!!!

[@Greant76]

x1lovesexx no, i was saying there would be proof that there was water in the phone...... anyway, my question remains. if you dont re-glue it, will you have proof that water got in... ;) , if you add glue, you might never be able to get it apart again.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Unless you put loctite on the screws again, and put new adhesive down under the screen... it does diminish its water resistant capability.

[@EpicHero4]

Is it possible to replace the internal Memory with another internal memory component?

[@williamwhitham5367]

Is the phone still water proof? Or have you not tested that after you removed a screen and reattached it?

[@Deadhog_Rage]

William Whitham the seal is broken so I’m pretty sure it’s not, that’s why I don’t wanna take my screen off. I got a Galaxy S5 that keeps restarting randomly and I wanna swap the boards or try my own diy methods but I don’t not only wanna break the screen, but I also don’t wanna compromise my water resistance.

[@KungFuMojo]

Had a spare s5 in bad shape that my friend gave me as a guinea pig. It was working, but now I messed it up some how. I did exactly what you warned about, which was ripped the back button cable. I was trying to pry the adhesive as you did, but I guess I'm not as steady. But this shouldn't cause the LCD to not come back, should it? I reconnected the display, but screen is not coming back, and the only thing I can see I did wrong was the back button cable. Is that the cause?

[@egdirkcol]

short cicruit.

[@guusvanbohemen]

Hi there Jerry, can you tell me how long it took to fully disassemble the phone (in real-time)? And how long did it take to reassemble it?

[@JerryRigEverything]

I was going slow for the video. So maybe an hour?

[@monaroxane]

Hey ;) I wanna change the middlecover and just wanted to know if i need a glue or anything when i do the last step (pushing the display down)... i am pretty sure its not waterproof after that prcoess hm? ^^

[@thumbstarrepair]

Normally (in doing glass-only repairs) you shouldn't take the AMOLED+glass out of the frame as one. You should do it piece by piece....first heat off the glass then attempt to extrace AMOLED out of housing bezel.

[@thumbstarrepair]

*extract

[@PhoneFixPro]

Aaron Soriao I wonder if the LCD+Glass will come out like that when the glass is shattered.

[@thumbstarrepair]

PhoneFix Pro yea, been wondering that too. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Id like to see someone attempt a glass only repair on this phone. The AMOLED looks incredibly thin to be sliding any kind of wire between the glass and the AMOLED.

[@thumbstarrepair]

JerryRigEverything from the looks of it...looks just as thin as the Galaxy Note 3 (i've glass repaired a Note 3 before).

[@hectorpalacios1035]

Does the back of the LCD display have a lot of adhesive attaching it to the phones mid frame? Your video makes it look like it doesn't. I've repaired previous versions of this phone and they usually have a ton of adhesive on the back of the lcd display.

[@JerryRigEverything]

You are correct. There is no adhesive to worry about with this phone. The 4 and 4s were a nightmare to swap out. The 5, 5c, and 5s are much easier.

[@hectorpalacios1035]

I'm talking about Galaxy s3 & s4? Is S5 easier?

[@JerryRigEverything]

lol, shoot. I mixed up the videos we were commenting on. Alright, so you are still right. What I removied in this particular video was the glass + LCD combo. It is SUPER thin, but it is still glued together. (I think. Nobody has actually made a video on the separation yet.) The 'just the glass' repairs on S3 and S4 do have a ton of adhesive holding them down, and i assume the s5 is the same way.

[@longlostpotato._.2768]

he sounds dead inside

[@enjoyric]

any videos on fixing the volume buttons on a galaxy s5 active?

[@CapturedByAyanna]

where did you get the replacement charging port? does it matter which carrier u have?

[@MrCZRC]

After replacing my samsung s5 lcd my back button/recents button and volume buttons have stopped working and also the inbuilt microphone doesnt work anymore unless i use earphones...please help me understand what replacements/fixes need doing? I would really appreciate it. P.S awesome youtube channel.

[@wojciechtechtips1602]

[@MrCZRC]

wojtek lasik i managed to fix the back and home buttons by just replacement but i didnt find a way how to fix the volume buttons still :(

[@ΗλιαςΝικολαου-μ6μ]

Hello like for your video.. I want to ask if I buy a new original display how I will glue it to the phone? Is coming ready to put it on or I have to take a tape or something like that? Thank you

[@JerryRigEverything]

It should come with adhesive. If it does not, you can use the 2mm double sided sticky tape that you can get for like 6 bucks on amazon.

[@daddykyledylan]

I saw in one of your other video glass replace on galaxy s4 you used some 3m tape how wide was it? 2mm? Thanks for your help

[@JerryRigEverything]

Yes 2mm is what I normally use. Its worked great. I used it on another phone today.

[@daddykyledylan]

Thanks for the reply. Since replacing the glass texting is a Paine I use Swype now since the glass isn't glued to the digitizer it studers. Such a Paine in the butt

[@JerryRigEverything]

You can try using LOCA glue with a UV light... but its a one shot deal. If you screw up your phone is shot.

[@rockstars04]

mark mckay you can mail to us and we will put the LOCA on for you. email us at FixAllCell@gmail

[@तपोभूमिःश्रेष्ठम]

Can u upload durability test video etc

[@maphinx]

my phone keeps lagging and restarts automatically even while it's off. apparently water got in and I don't know if it's the hardware or motherboard. my screen rotation doesn't work.

[@arronlowley5659]

when you stuck the screen back on with the adhesive that was already there was the screen as sturdy as it was before taking the screen out I'm just asking as I need to replace the back housing

[@funnyfromthevlogs434]

he did it better than guys from samsung servis center in my country

[@micinum]

quick question: The camera lens cover glass, is it easy to replace?! i dont want to use phone covers but it look like the only thing that will scratch easily is that glass. Does it come off without opening the phone ?! (not the frame the glass) i know that the glass on the S3 is held by glue, is it the same on this phone ?

[@RobertBarnett09]

Usually the glass camera lens piece that covers the actual camera is just held in with some adhesive.

[@jordanvelazquez6321]

He got his hands on the brand new galaxy s5

[@chrisjones195]

Hi Jerry I have just replaced the damaged lcd and screen on the daughters S5. The main speaker was working just b4 replacement but doesn't now. However as the phone was returned with damage that was not there b4 it may be the cause of the speaker error. I dont know where to go from here. I I could be sure the speaker was faulty then I could try to replace. The phone went through a full factory reset after screen was replaced and everything else appears to work fine.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Chris Jones Its hard to say. You can always try replacing the main speaker, or you can just use a bluetooth speaker or headphones in the meantime.

[@chrisjones195]

JerryRigEverything Thanks for reply ..Would the main connector on LCD or LCD itself have any connection to a faulty speaker. In other words if the LCD was faulty or fitted incorrectly it would stop speaker working. I have done a *#0*# and tested speaker and it didn't respond.

[@chrisjones195]

Chris Jones P.S. I'm right in saying I have to take the LCD off again to replace the speaker?

[@baloo217]

Hi, hey good info, my question is, can i take the middle frame off without takeing the glass and motherboard out? I just need the middle frame replace only.. Thanks for your help..

[@JerryRigEverything]

jorge m No, the screen is glued down to that midframe... so you'll have to take it alllllll apart.

[@christofferfredheim7301]

How many Celcius/farenheit do i have to heat the screen up to to take it off

[@top10fails45]

Christoffer Fredheim 220

[@786Teela]

Hey Jerry i watch alot of your galaxy videos. My S5 camera is faulty the colour comes out wrong. Is it best i replace this or should i send in for repair? And where can i get a replacement

[@JerryRigEverything]

The only thing I have for the GS5 right now is Screens. I dont have camera units yet. Id just use the warranty through Samsung for now.

[@786Teela]

Ok great but i purchased the phone of a seller. Is it still eligible for warranty if i brought the phone and i wasnt the first buyer?

[@JerryRigEverything]

Yes, you just have to contact Samsung for them to honor the warranty.

[@matthewmartinez6259]

I took my sg5 to a repair shop to replace the LCD. It's been working great the last 2 days until now. Just out of no where, the screen is jumping with any movement. Would you by any chance know why it would be doing that? I paid a lot to have it fixed.

[@ken71663]

i also get that problem, my screen sometimes stop working, and the screen is a little pop out of the frame

[@ITAutos]

Matthew Martinez just ask to the guy that repair your phone. it could be a lcd failure

[@daihanviet]

interesting, so they changed the way how the screen is replaced now if it was a cracked screen?

[@JerryRigEverything]

Yup. So theoretically, you could replace the screen in about 20-30 minutes. It'll be interesting to see how much they sell the glass/LCD combo for though.

[@jasonbell4732]

JerryRigEverything On eBay there was one going for $199

[@homieboy14]

Can you do a video showing how to replace the charger port protector? Mine tore off.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Sure thing. As soon as I find a place that sells the replacement protectors, i'll rip my own off for the video.

[@homieboy14]

Thank you very much! I wasn't rough to the cover or anything, I just folded it back today to play the cord in and it just broke off.

[@nashpersaud5856]

Hey was wondering how to replace the camera lens?

[@chrisgrayson353]

hi Jerry ive smashed my screen on my galaxy s5, the touch screen works perfectly still will I just need to replace the glass or the whole lcd unit etc? thanks Chris

[@JerryRigEverything]

It is much easier replacing the whole lcd unit. Go that route.

[@sammyk4454]

Thank you for the Video.

[@4Smokey2The0Bear]

Hey Jerry, is there any way to replace the chrome bezel that goes along the edges of the phone? Mine already has quite a bit of chipping but my cell provider wants me to pay the deductible to replace it. Thanks in advance.

[@archiecook55]

I used to use an S5, but just recently upgraded to the S9

[@Iahusha777Iahuah]

Hey my screen does not work anymore after getting phone wet in cold water when the phone was very hot, the phone does turn on and I can connect the phone to HDMI to tv, I hope the digitizer or a screen cable is just slightly corroded since it has had 6 months to dry. Do I have to heat and take the screen of the phone off to access these connectors? I am assuming so, It would just be easier without screen disassembly.

[@abdulkhalique2784]

my display has gone loose how to fix it now plz plz reply

[@djhigginzy]

Hey Jerry, Do you know where I would get a mother board for an s5? mine got fried recently!

[@DJBla2e01]

I was recently given an old S5, and both the speaker and charging port need to be replaced. I've repaired phones in the past, but since you need to remove the screen first, I'm worried I might break it...

[@joshuafautheree7212]

can you do a lcd and screen replace for a galaxy s5 active, or would it be the same as removing a screen from a galaxy s5

[@JerryRigEverything]

Joshua Fautheree I have not yet worked on one of those phones... but it should be pretty similar to the Galaxy s5

[@cynthia6284]

hi i have a question.. so my smasung s5 screen is not cracked but my lcd stopped working for some reason . I did take it for repair not too long ago and possibly something was not done right when they repaired it. could it bee i can open it up and check ? what usually goes wrong on lcd screens only?

[@ronibugs88]

I am having the same issue, feel for you!

[@sashonellis6236]

i have had the same problem for ages maybe either get a new lcd screen or check if the lcd cable is connected properly

[@egdirkcol]

not a lcd, its a super amoled display. lcd is liquid crystal display.

[@michelperez4100]

Will the replacement on the charging port work on a cricket locked s5?

[@domthebomhammer]

did you completely cut the wire to the touch lights?

Hey so I had a horrible accident with my S5. One day u woke up to my phone with the battery light red but the phone was fully charged. I don't know what happened so I Took the battery out. Come to see my phone was all wet inside. It was so weird. Not outside or anything. All the waterproof covers were on properly. I think my phone is ruined i want to cry. It's not even 3 weeks old. I put it in rice and put it to dry. Now my front rear camera dried with some of the water that got inside and is useless. Idk if the phone will be the same after this accident. An opinion on what should I do. The phone wasn't submerged into water. The most I could think of is that I might have put it on a wet table camera down. I just don't get how the water got in there. It seems to be working fine but I'm concern about the camera also. Thank you so much

Just watched your KZbin video after having some trouble with my Galaxy S5. My wife dropped it and broke the screen. Everything still worked but we had a local guy replace the screen. The problem is now the phone cannot get a signal. The signal strength bar shows an "X". Not an expert on this obviously or I would have fixed it myself but I believe he replaced the glass/LCD/digitizer as he said the part alone cost $130. He is trying to tell us that nothing he did should have effected the signal but he obviously damaged something. The phone worked fine 5 minutes before we gave it to him and the new display worked fine after he was done with it but we had and still have zero reception the first time we tried to use it less than 15 minutes after picking it up. Is there some type of ribbon, cable, etc that he might not have got hooked back up or damaged during this repair?

Hey Jerry, I'm think I'm having an issue with my sim card slot as it doesn't recognize any SIM cards anymore. I believe some water may have gotten on it while it was outside in the rain and got damp. Does the whole motherboard have to be replaced?

Lue Yang It might be under warranty still, check that first.

[@michaelboyett6679]

are there different versions of charging ports for the s5

[@thypnotik]

Just wondering if all models (att T-Mobile etc) share the same parts. I'm looking to replace my charging port and I have the attached version but I was wondering if it makes a difference to look for an att version specific part.

[@thypnotik]

*att version not "attached"

[@JerryRigEverything]

thypnotik Hey! Good question, The part numbers are all different. I just finished linking all of them in the video description of this video if you want to check it out. It looks like they are around 15 bucks at the moment.
