LG G4 Tear Down, Screen fix, Phone repair video

[@stephengreenfield3782]

Hey, just a heads up if you are replacing the screen with assembly. Where the proximity sensor lies (between the front facing camera and front speaker) will be a small rubber insert, this will need to be transferred to the new screen to prevent the proximity sensor always registering something as near. This is due to it reflecting off the glass of the screen.

[@Aaron-xc5qf]

Great video!! Needed to change my screen out and even going slow and fairly carefully It only took me 33 minutes to tear down old phone, put new screen on and power back up. Everything went perfectly. Thanks for the video, helped a lot but super easy phone to work on for sure. Thanks again

[@jimblue5008]

One of the reasons why I bought this phone: It is so easy to repair! (replacing the battery, camera, display/LCD, ...) Really good work, LG! The environment is going to thank you. Hopefully it will survive the next 3 - 5 years! :D Very good and precise video, though! Keep going on.

[@Cataloni_11]

From 2019 .still worth ❤❤

[@TheOceanSkipper]

Very clear verbal directions and video. Took me only about 15 minutes to change my cracked screen. Thanks so much!

[@grahampalmer]

Just replaced screen with frame as per video and suggestion. Went like a dream. Stephen Greenfield's comment re: transferring 'little light grey rubber insert' was only spotted after I'd finished so needed to go back inside (seen bottom left at 3:20). Despite this, great video that gave me the confidence to try this for myself and everything worked out just great. Many thanks.

[@nickipotts9411]

Thank you for the clear and thorough guide. Replaced my screen and digitizer and was having issues with the earpiece and referred to your guide to make to make sure I was doing it right and wasn't going to break it. 3 years old so it just needed some patience. Subscribed and liked. Thank you

[@leelu2274]

Thank you. I was looking for information on the screen, now I know which assembly to buy. Very good video covering all the components. You saved me a ton of money!

[@Randommmmm204]

I just broke my camera lense and this video helped me a lot. Only paid like $5 for it and it's extremely easy to replace. Hardest part was finding the screwdrivers. Thank you.

[@ryanr6240]

Thanks. Just replaced my wife's screen in a matter of minutes with your help. $53 part from Amazon compared to $200 Sprint deductible.

[@JerryRigEverything]

+Ryan R Heck ya! Hope I helped you earn a few brownie points ;-)

[@maxsimes]

wow, thank you very much zach, you sir saved me over 100 euro for the replacement. your video gave me confidence that i could do it myself instead of spending 130 euro for replacement. thanks to lg it only took me about 15 mintues.

[@billeeegoat]

thanks very much for the video. it gave me the confidence and info to replace my screen. there were also a couple of rubber seals that needed moving too but your video was great. cheers!

[@Phoosh]

Great video. I'm amazed to see how easily repairable the G4 is. This helps with my scratched camera paranoia.

[@Knowbody42]

I wish they made the current phones as easy to repair as the G4.

[@ya55er4008]

what a nice phone to work on . i salute LG for this smart assembly design .

[@JerryRigEverything]

yasser aboamoud I agree. Quick and easy for all parts that need repairing.

[@SnoutBaron]

And boy did they need it. The G4 has so many manufacturing problems, it's insane. Boot looping, IPS screen having image retention and weak volume buttons.

[@orzRaspberrih]

i had it for almost 2 years, and i had all 3 problems in your comment. i had warranty, so when it started boot looping i just replaced the whole thing. noticed the image retention over a year into the phone, so no more warranty. but it was a small issue. and weak volume buttons happened about 1.5 years into using the phone. again, not a big problem, but somewhat irritating. overall, despite all these issues, i really liked the phone. i'm switching to the g6 in a week or so.

[@shaffanmumtaz8830]

Bootloop

[@gogo-lz3zp]

I have 2 year h818p but good work

[@xovucom]

Excellent, I love how simple this tear down is on the LG G4. Compare that with the disposable hardware called the Galaxy S6 Edge; if you can't fix it you don't own it! IPS display on the LG G4 vs AMOLED on the Galaxy phones so no issues with screen burn-in that I've seen on so many of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2/3/4 & S5/6. I'll go for the LG G4 over the S6 Edge any day!

[@danielleseamon9602]

thanks so much. this was really helpful. saved myself 80 bucks by doing this myself. fyi... make sure you replace the proximity sensor or the phone will fail to stay on in dark light... I had no idea I was missing a piece to transfer. It's a small rubber piece to the right of earpiece at the top. You kind of have to dig it out but it's durable and you won't break it if you just tug on it. There's no adhesive and it slips easily into the replacement frame.

[@JerryRigEverything]

+Danielle Seamon Nice! Thanks for that tip! Glad you saved some major money!

[@bl4ck1911]

here on my yearly display change of the lg g4 :D still going strong

[@oussama4629]

any updates

[@bl4ck1911]

oh hi, a couple months after that I got a huawei p40 (but still use the lg g4 as a secondary phone hehe). What about you?@@oussama4629

[@chaoticdriver]

I just installed a screen from the link provided in the description and it works great. Quality seems the same as factory.

[@JerryRigEverything]

+chaoticdriver This is great information. Thanks!

[@Mandrag0ras]

+JerryRigEverything Do you know whether the glass of G4 is curved by default or flat and it is being forcefully curved when glued to the frame?

[@MrJcollie]

Best instructional video I have seen in many years! Thank-you.

[@iatoa2812]

thanks for video dude it made me confident enough to change my lg g4 lcd by myself

[@StandInn]

IMPORTANT!!! MY NEW SCREEN DIDNT COME WITH THE RUBBER IN FRONT OF THE PROXIMITY SENSOR: IF THAT RUBBER ISENT THERE, THE KNOCK KNOCK DOSENT WORK AND IN DARK ROOM THE SCREEN TURNED OFF EVERY TIME I WOKE THE PHONE UP. I PUT THE RUBBER PIECE IN FROM THE ORIGINAL SCREEN ( THE ONE WITH TO SMALL HOLES) AND ALL WORKED AGAIN. THIS VIDEO DOSENT SHOW THAT.

[@ryanabeyratne4470]

+StandInn Have you got any pictures or description of how to do this please? Would help me out heaps. Thanks.

[@tarablessing9680]

I found two gaskets that didn't come with my replacement screen that I needed to transfer over. The one for the proximity sensor is black, rectangular, and has two little round holes in it. It can be found near the top, next to the front facing camera. The other one is gray and has a rectangular hole and a round hole in it. It is on the top left. This fixed my issues with the screen turning on and off.

[@iScott78]

Damn LG sure does know how to make a phone. Compared to the S6 this thing is bare and easy to take apart. Its like working on a classic car versus a new car.

[@AbrahamMusalem]

Can you make another video addressing the Bootloop Hardware Issue with the LG G4?

[@PeterLucassen]

Thanks a lot. Had a broken earpiece, and because of your video repairing this was really easy.

[@DaxtonAnderson]

Thanks for the comment on grabbing a screen with a frame, glad you thought of it!

[@beng8675]

Hello jerry, Is there any way to solve the bootloop problem i am currently facing it with my lg g4? and also the phone when it was alive gets super hot while watching youtube videos

[@shaffanmumtaz8830]

Any solution?

[@jsg8803]

@@shaffanmumtaz8830 nope no reply, i googled my problem found it to be manufacture defect shortly after some time of my comment my phone died only solution was to replace pcb but even after replacement cannot switch on wifi as it still gets very hot after using youtube or just on surfing, bad screen response etc, i recommend purchasing a new phone

[@AreStorholm]

Nice Work Jerry! This is a huuge + in my choise of a new phone!

Great video! I have the LG G4 and all is good but I hope the charging port doesn't mess up on me with the years to come. Any tips to get around this?

This is THE most helpfull video i have seen on KZbin. TY

[@Heathfloors]

Great breakdown... I have water damaged lg g4 H815 and a fully working H810.. Is it possible to swap h815 components into the H810 to make it an H815... is it just the motherboard that needs swapping?

[@marcnn]

I have very poor GSM signal after screen replacement. Any idea how to fix this problem?

[@skanderachour8083]

i have some issue with my lg g4 , , how to repair the bootloop problem , you''re doing a great job , keep going

[@rickallen3832]

Hello Jerry. I followed your instructions to replace my broken display screen on my LG G4.. The device worked fine with broken screen, but I have replaced Moble and IPad screens and felt I could handle this repair. That being said... I purchased the complete screen with bezel online to ease the repair. After completing the repair, thanks to your excellent instructional video! The display works after repair, but there are a couple issues. 1. When display times out I should be able to tap screen twice to bring it back up. That does not function every time. I then have to press power button on rear of device to bring display back up. 2. When I receive a call the screen displays incoming caller info and I can answer call normally. As soon as I answer, display goes dark no matter what position and the only way to bring display back up is to press rear button. Seems I did not complete a perfect repair! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[@JacobMilligan01]

Hey Jerry, huge fan here. Wondering if you could do a video covering water damage repair on an iPhone 6. That'd be super helpful. Thanks so much and keep up the awesome work!

[@Mangopositive]

The LCD with frame from Repair Universe in the comments is bare bones. You'll need to make sure you transfer everything from your old screen to your new screen. This includes a few items not detailed in this video, such as the led and proximity sensor at the top of the screen. You'll also have to transfer the headphone jack. This was kept in place by adhesive on the old screen. It may work just throwing it in before closing it up, but I made sure the contact points were secure by putting a folded piece of plastic between the right side of the headphone jack and the board. Everything is working great. Thanks for the breakdown and replacement part information. I almost bought a new phone.

[@tjschilling3058]

Thank you thank you thank you for this comment. Very, very helpful.

[@edi1088]

His presentation is so much better now!

[@moccentije]

Great video! Keep up the good work! One question though. What is the reception antenna? I've got problems with 3g signal, which leads to not being able to receive calls, while on GSM/WCDMA/LTE network regime, although 2g and 4g work perfectly fine. Only WCDMA won't receive signal at all. Wonder if its a software or hardware problem. Tnx in advance.

[@JeffWaynemkt]

Hi, would u know the pricw for a screen + plastic housing? I stupidly cracked my g4 recently. Probably might get it fixed by lg..

I'm going to replace my lens/volume buttons combinations on this phone and big thanks to the video!!

I cracked the top right edge of my phone frame and I was wondering if there was anyway to replace it.

Hey jerry got love how easy phones where to repair 5 years ago

[@GeekyALP]

hello sir .... some glu is enter in my lg g4 top side beneath of screen glass near fron cameral. how can i clean it??

[@lavenderm6551]

Is unscrewing the plastic housing the only way to get access to the sim card slot?

[@rammohans1372]

there is no need to remove any screw to access the sim card slot. Removing the back cover should get you access to your LG G4 phone's sim card slot.

[@Hassanov.a]

Does this void the warranty?

Could you please make a samsung s5 water damage repair if you havent mde a video of it please

Worked Perfectly, cant believe how Eazy it was....!!!

[@moparman5941]

I really liked my G4 especially once I unloaded bloat wear to stop overheating. About a year ago it would start to get partial grey screen so I stopped using it. Will replacing the LCD fix this problem? Also getting a decent battery is difficult. Very nice video. No loud music and you do it at a speed my brain can handle.

Is it possible to replace just the frame?

hey Jerry my g4 screen is hard to wake up it shuts off and off I gotta keep playing with and finally it comes one but i dnt know why it don't wake up with just one clean the screen goes back to sleep I swipe and it back to sleeping after waking it up

[@hugoparedes85]

Lol mine wakes up only if the light hits it

[@mgshouldice]

+Hugo Paredes There is a black gasket in the proximity sensor area. YES! I forgot it too and it worked great once I put it in. It's black and matches the frame, so it is easy to miss.

[@roykms]

I like your way of talking :D

[@horridharry33]

Hey, I've dropped my G4 many times without a case on and the plastic framing on the sides is pretty banged up, is there anyway to replace only that without taking apart nearly the whole phone?

[@FLABEX224]

Where can I get a gold volume button/camera lens cover, I badly chipped the bezel of my phone and badly scratched the screen and back cover so I thought seeing as I never liked the colour of my phone (gray plastic) I'd get a leather back and gold buttons to match.

Hey Jerry, I stay in Canada. My LG G4 screen broke and I didnt fix it because it still works fine. Anyway it seems as if water got into the bottom part of the phone and there was this red point of light and a burning smell. I quickly removed the battery and tried drying the phone with a bowl of rice. Please what do I do next?

[@welkinator]

What part of this is the WiFi circuitry - or is that all "motherboard"? My WiFi is FUBAR- can the motherboard be bought? Is it worth it? tks

[@0AniTom0]

Hi! I'm having the vertical line problem with my LG4 and I was told that I needed to fix the flex cable connecting the motherboard and the screen. How exactly would I go about this? Do I submerge it in alcohol? Side note: My phone also presses random things on its own. Thanks for any help!

[@kkelsaw]

Great video...through explanation and to the point. Thank you!

[@BeeOhDeeTube]

I had a ghost touch issue, I opened it up and put it back together, now when I switch on, left half of the screen is black at the LG logo and in the home screen. Touch is still usable. I have tried several attempt to reconnect the LCD flex cable. but still the same

Jerry, today all of a sudden the screen on my LG G4 went black and only lights back up when i use my thumb to put pressure on it a little above the LG symbol on the screen. I've already replaced the screen once by myself about a month ago, would you have any idea of what issue i should be looking at once i tear down the phone again? I appreciate your time, looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks!

[@JerryRigEverything]

+Eric James It sounds like it has a bad connection with the motherboard. Either on the plug side, or where the wires go into the screen. Its hard to say for sure without seeing the phone... but it sounds like youve been in there before, so you know what to look for.

[@pulangcalapati]

Hello Jerry, I'm having this problem with my LG G4 where it launches apps on its own (literally moving on its own) . It gets more annoying nowadays. What do you think is causing this and is there a DIY that you can suggest?

[@rammohans1372]

Hey Jerry, I found one thing missing from your video was that you do not mention about removing the headphone jack which is one more component that needs to be ported onto the new screen from your older screen. One more thing to take a note is that not all the vendors provide the rubber proximity sensor holder (I am not sure what term to use here). This is a small rubber insulator that houses the 2 sensors for the proximity sensor. The distributor from where I received my LG G4 frame didn't have this part and I started facing issue when I made a phone call. The moment I made a call, the screen used to go blank even though I had not placed the phone on my ear. I returned that piece and asked for replacement but found that the new replaced screen also had exactly the same issue. On searching on the net I found that there was an insulator kind of thing in the frame that my frame distributor did not supply with the LG G4 frame that caused the proximity sensor to think that the phone was held close to the ear all the time and used to turn off the screen when ever I made a call. One porting the rubber insulator from the older phone my issue got resolved and the screen behaved the way it should. Thanks to your video. This is the second time your video helped me to replace a part of the phone.

[@michaelc4866]

where did you order the replacement screen from? i haven't found one that doesn't have negative reviews on the LG G4 replacement screen yet, thanks.

[@rammohans1372]

Michael Chen I got mine from fixez.com

[@1982fah]

I followed your guide and got the screen replaced. After rebooting I noticed only the front camera works but the pictures come out inverted and the I get a blurry screen for a second on the back camera before it starts crashing. Is their a reason why you took out the camera/power buttons? cause I skipped that part, thinking you just did that for people that want to replace their camera only. Thinking about buying a camera but I had no trouble taking the camera out. Any help would be appreciated and thanks

[@JerryRigEverything]

Hmm.... If all you replaced was the screen, i have no idea why the cameras would be malfunctioning. Like you said, those only need to be taken off if you are replacing them specifically. Check your connections again visually. Make sure everything is solidly connected.

[@1982fah]

+JerryRigEverything Yeah, that's what I'm about to do. Thanks for the video and for the quick reply.

[@GadgetFreakism]

hey , jerry , the link u provide to buy the screen isnt able to ship to my country , can u recommend another one for me , as you're the only youtuber i can trust . pls reply asap.

[@weatheringcloud7191]

Is it just me or are the 4 central screws surrounding the battery impossible to remove?

[@rammohans1372]

If you have the right tools then there should not be any issues. I have the philips screwdriver that perfectly fits and am able to remove the screws without any issue.

[@NoelCav]

When you remove the back of the phone and the battery you should see a little box on the battery and a little box on the phone, if either of these boxes are red instead of white then water has done irreparable damage to the phone. If neither of them are red or just the battery is red buy a replacement battery from amazon.

[@javadsamiee8788]

Hi Noel, many thanks for reply, my LG4 has one white circle on the battery and one on the body of the phone and both of them are white? now what?

[@NoelCav]

Next I would try looking up the button combo to do a hard reset, if that doesn't work your last option is going to a professional/ see if it is still under warranty.

[@javadsamiee8788]
