Hello everyone in this video I will
explain to you how to change the screen
of your Ledger Nano S in two minutes.
It is worth knowing that over time,
the screens of Ledger Nano S
tend to become darker
and eventually completely
unreadable.
This is currently happening with my key,
since as you can see,
when I plug it in and press all the buttons,
nothing is visible on the screen.
I will explain to you how to replace
the screen of your Ledger Nano S
in two minutes and in a simple way.
To do this, you will need several things.
First, a Ledger key, obviously
second, a cutter,
third, a credit card,
preferably one that you no longer
use because it may suffer
during the process.
And finally, a replacement screen
for your Ledger key.
You will find a link below this video
indicating where you can get
this replacement screen for just
a few dollars.
The first step, if your key has one,
is to removethe lanyard or cord,
I don't know what it's called,
as well as the ring attached to your key.
Also remove the pivoting metal cover.
Then the goal is to insert
the sharp side of the blade of the cutter
into the small space
at the back of the key, at the level
of the case cover.
It is important to start
this operation on the side where there is
the hole where the ring was just before.
Why? Because this part is
devoid of electronic circuits,
so if you push your cutter
a little too hard,
it will avoid damaging the key.
So as I was saying, the goal is
to insert the blade of the cutter
into this small space
at the back of the key and, using a lever,
to widen this space,
which will allow you to insert
the corner of the credit card.
You can then, once the corner
of the credit card is inserted,
slide it along the cover to detach
the cover from the key case.
Well, here it is, your Ledger key
is now open.
All you have to do is replace
the screen and close the case.
The electronic part of the key
is simply placed in the case,
there are no screws,
so it is extremely easy to remove.
You now need to detach the screen
from the electronic circuit.
To do this, you need to lift the
small black bar that you see here.
You can do this simply with your fingers.
I don't have nails but I manage perfectly well.
You can use a plastic rod
if you want, but don'use metal objects
like screwdrivers, avoid them.
Then simply pull on the ribbon,
it should come without resistance
if you have properly lifted up the small bar.
Then replace this screen with the new one
by simply inserting the ribbon
and lowering the small lever or the
small black bar.
Before putting the electronic part back
in the case, I recommend
trying your Ledger to see
if the screen displays correctly.
As you can see,
it works perfectly,
it's magnificent. It even looks like
the new screen is brighter
than the previous one
at the time of purchase of the Ledger.
So here you are, you can
now put the electronic part
back in the case.
Then put the case cover back on
by simply pressing it with your fingers.
Well there you have it, you have a
brand new Ledger key that works,
maybe even better than
when it was purchased.
Thank you all and see you in
the next video

I wanted to add some details to this video to be able to replace your Ledger Nano S display safely. First, be very careful with your cutter when opening the case; act gently and don't be a butcher. Also, when you put the screen back, ensure the buttons are in their correct positions, as shown in the video, and that the USB plug is aligned with the hole in the case. If the electronic components are not properly placed and you press too hard when closing the case, you may damage the buttons or the board. Again, I also want to thank everyone who liked the video, commented, subscribed to the channel or used my link in description 🙏

I replaced faulty screen with your tutorial, thank you.

[@hooptronicen]

You're welcome! I'm glad the tutorial helped you replace your faulty Ledger screen !

[@deejayP45]

thanks for the video - replaced screen fine following the instructions. you need to be careful if the 2 buttons fall out of their place to line them up correctly, or the screen will work but the buttons wont! but took. the back off again, lined them up and all is good :)

[@hooptronicen]

Thank you for your comment. I totally agree with this. There are two main points to be careful with. The one with the buttons you just motioned and the placement of the screen. If the screen is not in its right place and you close the case you may break the screen by pressing on the case cover. Glad you replaced your screen successfully using my instructions!

[@getnelson8521]

[@hooptronicen]

Thank you for your comment, glad it helped!

[@Blissed-Out]

Thanks for the great video. Maybe this is a paranoid thought but I'm just wondering if it's (theoretically) possible that these replacement displays are hacked in a way that they can grab your seed phrase through some kind of keylogging software (if you recover from your seed phrase) and transmit it back to the hacker.

[@hooptronicen]

I am personally paranoid with which computer I plug my Nano to and where I keep my seed phrase. With these screens not really. What you describe looks far too much to me. First you would have to embed a kind of "keylogger" in the screen plus a system to run this program and you will have to find a way to transmit data outside... That really looks far too much to me. Except if your computer is infected by a malware but then everything is possible, with this screen, another one or no screen at all...

[@Blissed-Out]

@@hooptronicen Yeah good point. I should probably let me paranoia chill a bit... 🤣

[@user-tf2dy1wb9t]

Thanks, I changed the screen it works but the button not anymore

[@hooptronicen]

You should check that the plastic buttons of the Ledger case are in front of the buttons of the board.

[@zetaverse6782]

there's 2 type pin 12 pin and 15 pin. so the question is which one do we choose for nano s ?

[@hooptronicen]

Hi. Everything is explained here: symetronix.com/how-to-choose-my-ledger-nano-s-screen/

[@antoniomedusa8454]

what can i do if button breaks?

[@hooptronicen]

I don't really know man. but if these would happen to me I guess I would 3D print new ones or try to carve new ones in a piece of plastic since it's a very basic shape.

[@umairkhan5157]

You missed the most important thing that there are 2 kinds of screen one that comes with 12 pin and other that comes with 15 pin so which is needed for ledger nano S.

[@hooptronicen]

The video is about how to replace a Ledger Nano S display. It's the same process to replace a 15 pins or a 12 pins (in the video I use a 12 pins). The Ledger Nano S can have a 12 pins or a 15 pins screen. Only the screen differ, the both Ledger versions looks exactly the same and has the same features. For those who want to know which display version they need you can check it here : symetronix.com/how-to-choose-my-ledger-nano-s-screen/ and can buy the 12 pins or the 15 pins on this same website.

[@user-pn5nm3dr7c]

Use a jeweller's screwdriver to release the casing clips - far less risk to fingers and electronics.

[@hooptronicen]

I agree if you have one at home or you are ready purchase one just for this 😊

[@CoinFluencers]

could this have any virus to hack my key?

[@hooptronicen]

I bought my Ledger replacement screen in the link provided on symetronix website maybe a year ago and didn't got hacked so far... They only sell these screens. If they put a virus on it everybody would already knows it. Technically I don't think there is a way to put a virus in such a tiny screen, it is so thin that there is barely space for the screen itself... a screen is just a display and does not have memory to store anything. To put a virus it would need an additional chip with processing unit, memory and a way to send data outside.... I think it's far easier for a hacker to put a virus on the device you plug your key in. I think this can be a far bigger problem... but going through the hassle to create a custom chip (if that is even possible...), embed this chip on a tiny screen and store a virus just to hack a key... common, that's far too much.... don't you think ?

[@victortancheongwee]

Is this display safe? can anyone or seller put some chip in it to hack into your wallet???

[@hooptronicen]

If you got a malware on your machine I guess yes... But then I believe the screen you have doesn't matter much.... These screens are already highly miniaturized and very thin. I don't believe it's possible to put any chip that could be able to do what you describe only by itself plus be able to transmit the infos outside of the wallet. This is my opinion. I use this screen for more than 6 months. I guess if they could have emptied my wallet they would have already done it...

[@victortancheongwee]

@@hooptronicen thank for the reply. Mine is a few year old and the display just become very dim, so got to replace one i guess. God bless you, wish u all the best, and thank for taking your time to make this video.

[@vzshan]

How is the screen so far? Won’t get hack right? Thinking of replacing my faulty screen.

[@hooptronicen]

@@victortancheongwee Thanks for taking your time to post this comment ! and sorry if it took me 9 months to find your comment, for any reason youtube don't notify me for the comments to my comments.

[@tojapiotrek]

Is it safe for our funds? I mean hacking software

[@hooptronicen]

These screens are so tiny and fit so prefectly in the ledger that I don't believe you can add any chip in the screen for this kind of harmful usage. I think problems can only happens if your computer is infected with a malware but then anything can happen, no matter the screen... Still I would prefer to buy on Symetronix, they only sell these screens and they do it for a very long time if there was something wrong they would have already shut down. Plus the company is not registered in a shady location... It's not like a random marketplace with a seller based in Hong Kong who sell cheap kitchen tools all together with Ledger screens....
