LG G2 Screen Repair & Disassemble

[@maximusdpsimus2278]

I JUST followed this to fix my LG G2 and its now working perfect again with a brand new screen. As i decided to buy direct OEM straight from LG it did cost more, but i know for sure its OEM and done right as i trust myself over a store doing it. Spent about the 15 mins watching it completely once, then went through again while following along. Perfect guide for anyone whos going to change the screen themselves and believes they can handle it. To scale it, its probably a little harder than dissembling and reassembling a desktop computer. Just things are more fragile which is actually the hardest part. Just take your time, keep track of your shit, and maybe youll only be here once and never have to fix your phone again

Shipped on friday afternoon, arrived in Sweden the next monday(8 workdays) and they marked the value lower than its actuall value so I dodged customs! Really made me happy. The repair went along really smooth, only annoying part was the adhesive but it worked out great with some patience. Really helpful video, really good OEM screen. Remember to test it before you apply the adhesive and remember to take your time, delicate components! Thank you Fixez, great price for a great product. Saved me about 70 bucks to change it myself and it's the cheapest OEM display I could find out there.

[@a75uk]

Thank you so much. I watched this three times before I went to work and I found it fabulous! For anyone attempting this watch out for the mic rubber gromit which comes out with the mic. Using a magnifying glass I could see there's a bit that sticks out that helps identify which way to replace it. The rubber gromit needs to be replaced correctly so the mic hole is kept open. Thanks for the video. :D

[@Fixez]

+a75uk You're welcome, thank you for watching!

[@lumpymayo]

I just fixed my LG-G2 took about 1.5 hours. It's working great, I'm so happy right now, thanks fixez

[@Fixez]

+lumpymayo Glad to hear you had a successful repair. Thank you for watching!

[@timdecamp5118]

I just purchased a display and glass from the fixez website, largely because of the quality of this video. You guys earned the business!

[@timdecamp5118]

***** Parts arrived in only two days, completed the repair last evening. Went perfectly. I can't thank everyone at Fixez enough.

[@mishociful]

Hey guys, today I did a successful replacement for lg g2 d802 thanks to your video!!! Absolutely great video, thank you so much for being there for poor people like us, who can't afford themselves professional service and rather save some money! Nothing would be the same if it wasn't for you, thank you so much again!!!

[@Dead_ham]

Fixed my g2 last night, turned it on and bam! I'm up an running again with zero issues at all. I replaced both the lcd&digitizer, and from what I can tell, that is much easier to do than just replacing the digitizer or vice versa. So if you are considering doing this just replace the lcd and the digitizer, you will thank yourself later, or if you dont you will wish you did.

[@HoustonTX1982]

I just replaced my screen last night. It was easy but still took 1 1/2 hours because I didn't want to rush it. The most time consuming part was cutting the adhesive into the perfect size strips. Overall my phone is fix and a big thank you.

[@trailblogger]

This video was very helpful and thankfully with your replacement touch screen and lcd I was able to fix my broken screen. Just take your time and go slow, follow along and don't get in a hurry.

[@terryh9721]

Just want to say thanks for the video. I had my LG G2 sitting here for over a year and now it works perfect again.

[@rennevirtanen5639]

my father just repaired the broken G2 i had. the video had great advice and we succeeded. thank you so much!

[@Fixez]

+Renne Virtanen You're welcome, thank you for the support!

[@jamesdyar292]

Did the fix today. Tutorial was perfect. Saved $70. The only thing is worrying about myself breaking anything inside the phone but if you are delicate you should be fine. tyvm

[@Fixez]

+James Dyar Great to hear the update here, thank you for watching!

[@mostusedwebsite]

I followed your instructions....and my once broken lg g2...now functions like new. Thankyou for posting this video. Very helpful

[@abdoos55]

I ordered the display from the site and followed the video instructions. good news is that my phone came back to life and it's working really great. However, i think the touch experience is a little bit less than the original screen but i can live with that :D if it's your first time (like me) make sure to put enough adhesive on the edges to avoid the display light leaking from there. my model is D802 btw

[@cruisethesurf]

This was very helpful. Just saved myself $150-200 on a used G6 i thought I was going to have to buy. As has been said, take your time & definitely work around the connectors / components you're trying to move if at first they seem immovable. So the G2 gets another 6 mos - year before an upgrade. Nice. Thanks again.

[@Fixez]

Thank you for the comment and also please be sure to subscribe to our channel. Also take a moment to visit our webpage www.fixez.com

[@cruisethesurf]

Well, my G2 lost it's mind, so now I'm a happy owner of a V20. Superb phone so far

[@chrisdavidpham]

Thank you for the video tutorial. I purchased the screen+frame from your website and I'm very happy with the product. The screen seems to be high quality so far, I wouldn't doubt that it's genuine OEM. The installation for the screen+frame is almost exactly the same as shown in the video, there's just a few components that you have to transfer from the old frame to the new frame. I had no problems performing the repair, except I accidentally broke the earpiece speaker because I pried at it too close to the connections and they came off. However, it only costs a few bucks to replace the ear piece, so it's no problem.

[@Fixez]

+Chris Pham We appreciate your feedback here. We're glad to hear that overall your repair was successful. Do not hesitate to contact us at anytime for any support. Thank you!

[@bond007zap]

Hi.. very good detailed video. I used to yesterday (7/27/14) to replace my cracked screen. Worked perfectly. Took me more than an hour and I had to go through each minute detail on this video multiple times, but it worked flawless. Only piece I did not do was add new adhesive. My replacement screen did not come with one. So I reused old adhesive that was little squishy by heat from hair dryer. Screen stuck to old adhesive like brand new! No issue in any functionality. Thanks a lot for this video.

[@gzanini54]

Just succeeded in changing broken screen following the instructions on this video. Easiest is to buy (online) an LCD display with frame assembly. Then all the steps shown in this video to separate the broken display from its old frame assembly are not needed. You can throw both away. Also you can safely leave the rear-facing camera attached to the motherboard, instead of removing it separately as shown in the video. Same for the mic at the bottom of the screen, which can be safely left attached to the dockport. But you will still have to go through all the steps to disassemble and re-assemble the loudspeaker, dockport, motherboard, and battery.

[@ietsmetcomputers]

Thanks a million guys! Just replaced my usb port using this guide. And my phone actually works perfectly as well.

[@obrejaradu1]

I've repaired my wife's phone thanks to your video! Thanks a lot!!!

[@dvdchas]

Amazing guide guys. First ever attempt I made a replacing a screen. My G2 is now fully working!!!

[@daumiermaldonado8684]

Very good tutorial. Just did mine right now with your products everything went okay. Some suggestions: teach how to put adhesive in the shell to glue the screen. And theirs a blurry orange spot on the screen but its something that you can get use to.

[@mikaelgunnarson4190]

Thank you, first time opening a G2, totally smashed, using this vid as an extra guide, flawless repair.

[@WindLothamer]

Your tutorial was perfect--I was able to replace my screen without any problems. The graphics highlighting key areas were extremely helpful. Thanks!

[@tanyasalley2966]

First time to repair anything on a phone. This video was a perfect! It took me step by step. THANK YOU!

[@SCARLITASWAY]

Thank you so much for this! I just fixed my G2 and it works perfectly! I would have never had the guts if I hadn't found this video before ordering the piece. xo

[@freddyzzzz]

Great video. My LCD/digitizer was replaced by a shop. They did a good job except that the new screen has visible pixel grids. If you look at the screen at even a slight angle, you can see lcd pixel lines like on the first generation smart phones from a few years ago. Is your lcd the same quality as the original phone or am I going to notice the same artifacts? Wondering if all these aftermarket screens come from one factory or if there are different quality screens out there. I would like to have the original image quality. Thanks.

[@lucian4045]

"Fixez" means "I fix" in romanian,thank you so much for this!no repair payment!

[@Dimondminer11]

Great production quality! I was just gonna give up but after seeing how easy it is to remove the screen from the mid frame im gonna give it a shot!

[@MrAvivTomer]

Amazing video!! Excellent explaination!! i bought a screen on the internet and replace it for the first time in only 30 minutes! its awsome to fix it by yourself with 40$ besides 150$ !!

[@gregangley]

Awesome demo! I just got my phone back to working perfectly in about 2 hours using this video. Thanks!

[@themadtriton]

Excellent Video, made it so simple. the only problem i had while the phone was apart was realising that i didn't receive any new double sided tape for the screen so i used a few drops of glue (loctite) on each corner and some down the sides. so far so good. Thanks

[@MichalKubinsky]

Thanks for your video. I have replaced my broken glass using your tutorial and everything is working perfect. I am just missing the heating lamp so there are gaps visible, but i will find some workaround and use another heating "device". Once again, thanks for your video.

[@MajorAddiction]

Thank you for the helpful video. Fixed my screen today because of this thorough tutorial

[@shyamvadeyar]

You are awesome, thank you so much for such a detailed video. I just finished replacing my dad's LG G2 screen..and everything worked out just fine. Great video!!! Thumbs up.

[@aliciawilliams6417]

My screen didn't work the first time I reinstalled. My connections on the lower part of the LCD hadn't felt great. When I redid it I looked and there's 2 tiny dots to help align those lower connection ribbons in the housing. Then I was able to feel a better snap on the cables. Basically, if it doesn't work the first time, be brave and try again! Thanks for this video!

[@deaconlj31]

Awesome instructional video. My LG G2 lives again!

[@regulojimenez3189]

thank you fixes for leaving great video step by step and close ups on crucial steps. bought screen from your website and followed this video. was first time ever doing phone repair and was extremely nervous! got the job done and with more confidence to repair if needed again. thank you so much 😎

[@shishiksa]

Great video, I bought the LCD from fixez.com and all works perfectly. However I got scared that speaker was no longer working when I was testing it before screwing the covers down, went back to study your video and the lower cover is the loudspeaker!

[@BrockSquires]

Thank you very much! Used this tutorial and ended up with a perfectly flawless screen! Liked!

[@TomiReimann]

thanks man! I fixed my G2 today with your video, everything went smooth!

[@Tusooong]

Thanks for the video. Replaced mine with no problems! Only that i accidently ordered wrong screen & digitizer. I got eu version of this phone and the correct model was 802 and i bought 801 or so. So be carefull when you order your screen and check the right 1. That display assembly connection pin was different. On my phone it was shorter than in this vid.

[@15amber86]

Thank you sooooooo much for this video! I just replaced my LCD digitizer and this tutorial was absolutely splendid!!! A million thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@Fixez]

+Amber Renee You're welcome. We appreciate the support!

[@bradmoran2609]

Great video! Are you aware of any problems with the sim card reader on these models? Does the reader look like its a snap in or a soldered-in type? Thanks!

[@OGNuggz]

Thanks so much for this video! I've managed to fix my mother's old phone without having to pay ridiculous amount of money :)

[@Fixez]

Happy to hear about your successful repair.

[@chironevans6597]

Great video! I found that removing the SIM tray and beginning to pry the back off using the gap left behind allowed the easiest removal of the back

[@DaveJones876]

Do you have any videos for the blu life pro? I have one with a cracked screen. Id like to replace the screen and the digitizer. The LCD seems fine though. Thanks for your video it was EXTREMELY clear!! Thanks much.

[@wouterstaat3778]

First of all, thanks for the video! Clear instructions and a nice toolset to work with. I tried to replace my broken LG G2 screen and got through everything rather easily. However, now that I'm done, the phone turns on but the screen doesn't. The battery gets hot so I know it, and I can turn it on as well with a softreset. There's no responding from the screen whatsoever though. Anything I can try out?

[@wouterstaat3778]

***** Thanks for the reply. The battery temperature is indeed really high. I've never been near the battery without the case before though and with the case on it doesn't seem *that* bad. All the connections are properly connected. Could the faulty battery be the reason of the display not working? The phone also doesn't buzz when turned on, would that also imply that the battery might be broken?

[@shagworthee]

Hi, thanks for the easy guide. After replacing the damaged screen with the new one, it is just black. I have taken it apart a few times to check I have not missed anything but even with the old screen it's just black. Do you have any thoughts on how to fix this issue?

[@HCRobert]

Thank you I had a bad connection to the LCD and the video was all messed up. I used this video to see how to take a part my phone and press on the connections by the power input and on the dock port it worked now I got a usable phone again thanks!!!

[@pierread1011]

So no additionnal adhesive to fix the screen to the support ? I read some comments about double-sided adhesive tape, and it looks like you don't use anything to help the display remain in place? Thanks for the video anyway, it's going to help me a lot!

[@binyu4741]

first of all, amazing and helpful video. one question, mine is a d802. is it compatible with a g2 screen replacement instead of a d802/d805 one? thank you!

[@ArtursVecvagars]

Second time I fix my LG G2 screen and both times this video helped me out, Thank you.

[@Zacboy95]

If I am only going to replace the glass and digitizer should I still go this route in taking apart the G2 or go a simpler route in other videos?

[@anelson5560]

I was told on top of purchasing the glass I was also have to purchase the LCD. Does the glass come with the LCDs attached to it already

[@huu-hiepnguyen4992]

Are those adhesive strips on 9:00 required to replace the LCD+digitizer?

[@Fixez]

+Huuhiep Nguyen Yes, as this will keep your screen adhered to your frame assembly.

[@edit4central819]

Hey Fixez, when I was disassembling my lg g2, there was a oily liquid on the LCD and the Screen itself. I was wondering what this was and it also made a rainbow streak effect when I turned on the phone. 

[@ardacenr21]

what is that part at 12:30 good for? messing around with fixing this LG G2 i found but at the reassembly part i broke that specific part off.. thanks for the help

[@Fixez]

That is the Connection for the display.

[@thomato981]

rip display connection........

[@PocketBeemRocket]

Thanks! I got a chance to use the precut adhesive. I had to further score the die cut , but it worked out well. Worth the extra 3 bucks!

[@tadman3d]

Thanks! if I do this repair will I lose my software setup on my phone (software reset) or will it come back on the same as before? I have a rooted phone and don't want to have to reroot.

[@samuelkayo2479]

Hi! I've fixed my LG G2 about 3 times now so thanks for your tutorial. However, I have an issue this time. I can't seem to connect to an Access Point. Is there a part that I might have missed?

[@pspslimicesilver]

Will doing this repair fix any touch screen problems like the dead zone. Or part of the screen works?

[@danielpantoja6195]

Hello, thanks for this video! I was able to successfully repair my wife's LG G2!

[@PsychedelicWurz]

managed to replace my lg g2 d802 screen with the help of your awesome video tutorial but the new screen's touch response is too slow . i need to leave my finger on the screen for like 2 secs before the touch registers. i opened the phone twice and re-watched the tutorial several times as well just to be sure i did not miss anything. i also reformatted the phone and ran the calibration settings but the lag persists. im getting touch response on all parts of the screen though. please help!

[@Biele_27]

Hello Fixez. I just disassembled the LCD, but I was wondering if changing the lcd/touchscreen I will have again the knock kcnock feature. PS: I broke the screen only, is there any way to save the LCD or are they "the same thing"? Thanks, Great tutorial :)

[@karlwaskiewicz]

I ordered the new screen and tools from you, and my phone is good as new. Cheers! My only issues were that I didn't notice the grey coax cable should run under the dock port ribbon cable so the motherboard cover pinched the ribbon cable at first. I also didn't seat the motherboard cover properly (the corner was caught on the frame), so the back cover didn't fit. Had to loosen and reseat the cover.

[@zaizez]

Thank you for very helpful video. Only recommendation would be to leave rear camera in place (5.50sec). Adhesive from bottom was so strong that i broke the camera module. After mainboard disassembly it is more safe to do that.

[@algom9]

I saw in a different video, instead of starting with the extacto knife to remove the back case, start by removing the sim tray, and start using the prying tool from that hole. I tried it and it worked well

[@AndyRodriguezJimenez047]

My LG G2 has a problem which is some letter of the keyboard doesnt work at least i rotate the phone and works but others letters doesnt work, would you tell me what i have to change? ah! some time when i want to take the phone i can not take the phone because the answer button does not work but the others yes, i think that is the touchscreen, is that right?

[@OllieBeeCookswithKnives]

I've got a G2 that suffered some moderate damage, leaving the back protective plate and the front plastic lining around the screen, both slightly bent. Any suggestions on where I can purchase both of those, or if a replacement screen would be damaged if I didn't replace them?

[@shibunarendranathan5592]

Thanks!. my first ever try on replacing a broken screen and success. thanks a lot for the detailed video, appreciate that!

[@Slickpic49]

2 questions. Why did you pry off the two bands on each side that connect to the motherboard. I didnt realize until later after I removed one that i didn't need to. 2nd question, since I removed one and not the other what glue was that you were prying that held it down. Was it some type of thermo glue?

[@BurningBush369]

Hi, Fixez.com, thank you so much for the helpful video. I was able to replace my screen/digitizer assembly just fine, however now my phone cannot connect to the mobile network. Data over wifi works just fine, though. Now it just says "emergency calls only". I was looking through the comments here, but didn't find anyone else with that problem. I was wondering If you guys may have any ideas on what may be the cause? Thanks a lot!

[@FrostlordTheWizard]

Hello! Im looking for a replacement for mine. Does your replacement display assembly has the same resolution and colors as the original one? Does it come with gorilla 2 glass?

[@VenkatThangaraja]

Nicely Explained. I changed by LCD digitizer a week ago. But after that the proximity sensor doesn't seem to be working... The screen turns black after dialing. I checked with the proximity sensor app and it always shows 0.0 cm. It looks like it is detecting something to be very close 'always'. How to fix this issue? Should I change the set again or any fix is available...Any help would be appreciated....

[@DrifterKirrr]

Hello. Is it possible to change the screen without disassembling the whole phone? The original adhesive got loose on mine and the screen started to "peel". Is the whole procedure necessary to reapply the adhesive tape?

[@GamoToTheoM]

Hello there! Amazing video tut and props for the great explanation! Just one question: Will a 1.9mm double-sticker do the trick as an adhesive for the assembly?

[@Fixez]

+GamoToTheoM I can't say for sure, the sides of the display leave little room for adhesive so it will have to be trimmed flush. Also the thickness of the adhesive will have to be considered as to not have the display sitting proud of the frame.

[@purejay17]

What is a material that use for adhesive? Is it very thin 2 side adhesive tape?

[@TheRacinStation]

Hi. I have a question. I just finished the installation of my new screen, and now I'm getting phantom touches and a horizontal dead zone towards the middle of the screen, but there are no visual defects. What do you think this may be?

[@Razr10]

Hello fixez.com. Nice video! thank you for that. Can you please help me? The screen in my lg g2 is not broken or cracked. It works great. But there is a strip of 1cm which doesn't work....but the image still appear. So...Do i will need to change all the screen? or maybe is a bad conection?...i hope you can help me. Thank you again!

[@nirdeshparmar9449]

Thanks for the detailed video to replace screen on LG G2. Did it successfully on D800.

[@warlenxavier9885]

video muito legal como faço para comprar essa maquina que voce retirou o vidro ? como se chama

[@mamusme]

thank you guys, this video help me to repair my phone couple with tools and replacement lcd screen bought. you really save me few bucks.

[@ForbordJ]

Thank You for the video I fixed mine the other day, however I am having a problem where at times at the top of the screen there will be a phantom touch that will open an app or click on something random. Also when using a drawing app I will draw a red line on the screen and when it comes to about 2 inches from the top it stops then after an inch continues again. It can be so bad that I cannot even use the phone. Any ideas as to what is happening here?

[@mynxl]

Thanks Fixes. Just replaced my screen as instructed no problems.

[@huzaifaqader2273]

Is that a micro SD card slot on the right of the buttons on around 2:22

[@Fixez]

+Huzaifa Qader No, the G2 does not have the option for additional memory via Micro SD. Looks like it though, right?

[@huzaifaqader2273]

+Fixez.com yeah kinda looks like it.. What if we hack or do something to make that slot work.... I will ask when I will buy the g2.... Btw thanks for replying..

[@Fixez]

No problem, anything we can do to help. Thank you for watching!

[@Dabou02]

Hi, i wanted to repair the touch digitizer of my lg g2, i bought a touch digitizer but i broke the lcd too lol, now i bought a new lcd too, i want to know if i can assembly the lcd first, and on him i put the touch digitizer ??? And if its not dangerouse that i havent oca glue between the touch digitizer and the lcd ?? excuse me if i dont speak very good

[@johnhicks6062]

I'm commenting through my G2 right now, instead of a replacement phone, because of this helpful video!

[@ДимитрийСамойлов]

Thank you for posting. I've used this one to replace LCD and touch screen on my G2. After all 'hard-work' is done, I'm experiencing some problems with the touch screen. It's working only when I press on the edges of the screen. Actually, on the right bottom edge of the screen. I've double checked those three connectors of LCD and the touch screen, but the problem stays. I got the replacement parts in one piece with the frame and it looks like both the screen and the frame are not well sticked together. Could it be the issue? Thank you!

[@matthijsgoemaere1481]

Hey there, thx for this awesome video! Great job and really nice quality! I tried this fix after i broke the screen of my phone. Everything seems to be OK, except that my phone will turn the screen off after like 1 second always. And when I try to do something it still turns off automatically. The only way I can seem to use my phone now is by turning it off/on and use it untill the screen timeout starts for the first time. After that I allways have this issue with the screen turning off auto after like 1 second. Do you guys know what could be the cause of this problem? I hope you could help this poor fella solving this problem. Kind regards!

[@Edwincitoz]

Is it the same procedure in all versions? I have the LG G2 Sprint

[@ryandefazio6880]

This may seem like a stupid question, but is this just a glass replacement or is it also digitizer replacement?

[@theSeeJay]

I sent my g2 to lg for repair. They deemed it broken and sent it back. I was curious of the insides, so I took off the cover and tried to unscrew the screws. Every single one except for two were stripped and didn't work with my screwdriver, even after getting another screwdriver. Did lg do this? I used a rubber band and got one other screw but that won't cut it. Any other way to get the screws out that you guys know of?

[@kiralovesapples1510]

Do Fixez LCDs stop working after a while? like would half of the screen stop working after a while?

[@sQuEeZe2111]

I have a question referring the digitizer design , does digitizer for D802 is possibly compatible in F320L? please reply ASAP cause i want to repair my g2 so badly thank you very much

[@bonuverma]

Thanks your video helped me to fix a screen I bought off Aliexpress. it is working great! All thanks to you.

[@Fixez]

+Abhishek Verma You're welcome, thank you for the support!

[@haydendunstan]

Hey thanks for a brilliant video! I did the replacement no problem. I have a question though i hope you can help with. The replacement screen I got was already in a frame and housing so i moved the battery and all the mounted smalls over to the new frame instead of removing the new screen and risk cracking it. in moving the battery though i have to use some elbow grease to get it out of the old housing and off the adhesive. i see now it won;t charge. Are these batteries easily damaged when removed?

[@Fixez]

+Hayden Dunstan Possible your battery may be damaged. It's also possible your dock port is bad but you may want to begin with a battery replacement. We offer these on our website. www.fixez.com/store/lg/lg-g2

[@haydendunstan]

Thanks so much. yeah i thought i had damaged the battery will start with a replacement thanks again for the help.

[@Fixez]

No problem!

[@ArisAman]

Thanks for this video, is the second phone lg g2 I made with your help!

[@AfrizalAnoda]

quick question bro...which one is screen connector,actually i only need to release that part because i got bootloop and can't charge the phone.someone said the only way to charge the phone is release that screen connector so it won't drain the battery while charging.

[@ultamative22]

hey fixez, used your video to replace my screen two months ago. everything worked fine until recently, i have a ghost section on my screen and random button lag. ive tried taking it apart, ive tied a system wipe, ive even tried the electric lighter technique, nothing works, any ideas?
