LG G5 Screen Replacement - Teardown (4k)

[@davidcarroll5683]

Awesome mate, appreciate the video. Anytime I have a phone that needs a new screen I always seem to find your videos. Cheers!

[@UndeadShell]

Hey, how did you turn the lg g5 on by touching the pin at 11:47 in the video, was it a light touch on the gold pin, did you push it forward? how exactly do you turn it on?

[@xman0369]

did anyone ever answer this?

[@NitroGuyJH]

Actually How2Tech if you remove the battery and look inside the phone at the very bottom left corner there is a tiny hole in the black plastic. That hole is there for a reason. Take a paper clip with a small hook bent in the end and insert it into the hole, pull firmly and it will unlock the slide lock and the phone will separate with minimal force.

If you purchase a replacement screen with the black frame already attached what changes go as far as instruction?

[@valk7680]

I did not understand. If I need to replace ONLY front glass panel, why do I need to tear down all the phone? Can i just remove the screen + MB assembly from the casing and start working on the glass?

[@happynappy100]

Val K yes I believe you can. this was just a full-ish tear down

[@caprisinner]

Val K same here... I was wondering that too

[@tpores4122]

Val K lol good luck and try not to break your display

[@Roman-fm1yr]

В Нижневартовске, в ТЦ "Славтэк" сидит умник, типа мастер. Не смог снять экран с LG G5, потому как не знал, что аккумулятор снимается. Закосячил рамку на моем телефоне...Буду взыскивать с него..

[@badleer0ybrown]

Just replaced my broken ass screen in 20 minutes using this video. Piece of cake.

[@alexz81]

Hi ! What type of glue is it do you know ?

[@Surferant666]

Hey H2T, great video. I was wondering if you could help me with a mod question. I fly drones using 5G wifi, however my signal crashes around the 70m mark, yet the drone I use is supposed to have around the 400m capability, So I was wondering if you could tell me where the ariel is in the G% and how i could fit an r sma lead to it so i could add a directional beam ariel or even a yagi. Or better still is there some sort of wifi antenna that i could connect wirelessly to without having to strip down my lg g5? cheers

I need to replace my digitzer since I smashed it working on my car, I'll be buying one that has the frame already connected. If I'm replacing the digitzer and frame, I don't need to heat it up to remove the display like you showed in the video, right?

[@swellequation2861]

Eric Ver Linden No, if you still care since its been 6 months. All you would need to do is pry it off and disassemble and unscrew the motherboard until you hit the frame and the display itself. To make the whole repair easier, buy a display with the Frame already on it so all you would need to do is put the thing back together using the replacement display.

[@bro652]

Hi mate if I replace my broke screen with a new screen will the ppi be the same as original also does it affect the screen quality when watching video in hd or QHd

[@datasolutions1380]

We replaced a charge port flex on one. Now we are getting an error saying, "This module you've attached doesn't work for this phone or isn't inserted correctly." We ordered a new flex but had to desolder a little bronze contact with 3 points and move it over to the new flex.

[@BIGORANGEHUNTER]

what is the flex cable around the ear piece called. that sticks to the lcd

[@raysirius2633]

BIGORANGEHUNTER me too I wanna know. I accidentally snapped that cable when I tried to repair the lcd itself. I dunno what that cable does. somehow the phone is fully functional. hopefully someone answers this.

[@toniramirez354]

my phone sensors and camera stopped working after screen replacement. is there a way to fix this?

[@inakeraycortes8083]

hello sir i got a problem with my lg g5 the camera flash won't work when the subject is too far away from my lg g5. and sometimes it turns black when captured in close to the subject. what is the problem with my g5? tnx for helping.

[@HanHanfree]

Why LG G5 do not have thermal silicon?

[@DeltaInsanity]

What do I do if I just need to replace the actual glass, the LCD works fine, I'm using it right now! There's just an enormous ugly crack across most of my screen...

[@danielmartuniac9928]

just buy the glass and lcd in one piece. Iti is much easier to replace, and only cost a few bucks more

[@Lucasnalii_treinador]

What reasons touch screen may be not work ? I recently dropped in my phone in water and after that i bought a display and change it, but touch screen isn't working. Any idea ?

[@frankjeager9043]

Lucas Nali corrosion on the connecting flex

[@happynappy100]

Lucas Nali well dropping you phone in water can a number of problems so it is very difficult to tell.

[@emanuel6233]

Great guide👍👍

[@Bella-ul1fq]

Is anyone else having trouble removing the screen in order to replace a part? I am trying to replace the dual cameras, but I can’t seem to get the screen off, as my plastic pry tools keep breaking

[@RD-wn9iw]

Thanks for video. Great help.

[@MrSanji1993]

If i buy a screen from ebay will the image quality of the screen be the same as the original??

[@happynappy100]

EzzilanDeRR it's hard to know but if it seems really cheap like less than about £50ish there is a significant chance it could be. however as it's isn't a super common phone there is less likely to be cheap knock-off screens anyway.

[@nicktaylor2391]

If the LCD is damaged, what are the odds of repairing it, and what is the average cost?

[@kim99jung]

Nick Taylor $50

Why use a heat gun when there's no adhesive?

[@MyDrewTube]

Thanks for the video. I cancelled my order for the glass after watching this. I might just order the whole display and replace it but I think I'm just going to go through insurance.

[@psalmperez3079]

b coz the flex cable of the screen is under the mainboard

[@SDav21]

I was so happy with my G5 until recently now I hate it. After only 7 months the GPS refuses to catch a location and the screen is just horrible because now it has an image retention issue. If I am on a page for even just a minute reading something, that image becomes sort of "burned" into the screen and all I then see is the ghost of that behind everything. It goes away only if I then play a video where things are moving on the screen which then makes the ghosted image slowly disappear. Why would it do such a thing???? Then if I have it on a full black screen, one can even see what looks like 4 pixels still letting light through. It is like 4 little white broken pixels. Argh. So not feeling it anymore.

[@Abraham-ui6kc]

SDav21 lg g5 has lcd screen, image retention is really common on lcd's but it goes away in an amoled if that happens it will be permanent. An that of the black screen is calles "screen bleeding" is really comlon on LG devices but nothing to worry about

[@EnhancedNightmare]

Image retention gets worse over time but isn't really a problem. After a year the phone has washed out whiter spots around edges.

[@sebastiento9695]

for a phone, this is one damn small motherboard! Kudos LG :)

[@powerfultoa7]

It is very compact and well designed

[@COLDSTATIC]

take our "pry tool" just twist it a little bit to start that pressure. I am not using a ton of force I am just trying g to create a "gap" that I can get my "tool" into. OMG LMAO I have been trying to fix all women like they were cell phones. 2 min and 20 seconds into the video hilarious.

[@alvarowilson5355]

Thought this video was about replacing the glass instead of just disarming the phone in almost every way

[@krzysztofzawierzeniec7062]

You dont have to do this, just replace guts and its done

[@Anonymous-jg1sf]

you have fingers like E.T

[@mephistovonfaust]

My glas broke while getting something out of my car and the display's not working anymore and I can't seem to find any parts online... This is bullshit LG and you know it... Bringing it to a repair shop costs almost a third of the freaking phone itself!

[@frankjeager9043]

derKampfschimmel 2k screen is expensive as balls mine died today. Won't buy LG ever again. Went through 3 LG G4 and 2 2nd gen G Flex in 3months.

[@mephistovonfaust]

Tom O'brien Holy shit... I liked the G4 and never had any problems with it but I'll probably won't buy an LG anymore either.

[@deisylopez6191]
