LG Optimus G Pro Screen Repair & Disassemble

[@frope01]

Great video. I ordered a screen and tool kit. They forgot to include the adhesive but an email to the support team got some sent to me right away. Great customer service. I watched a few videos and this is by far the easiest to follow and did the trick removing a minimum of parts. It was actually faster and easier than i had anticipated. Well done!

[@michaeland.christi6680]

Just finished this repair on my wife's phone. No problems and turned out great. I bought the replacement screen from fixez as well. Great quality and great video. Thanks again.

[@nathanielwildebuer292]

looks very straightforward. if I would have any suggestions - might be helpful to offer any tips on making sure replacement screen/digitizer is perfectly aligned. Otherwise your instructions were clear with out distracting unnecessary jargon. Also, do you know if the phone has a screen calibration utility? Well that all said before I attempt my replacement. Hopefully my replacement goes just as smooth.

[@yt809811]

Dan this piece is at part 5:39 on video, it has a small Mylar piece that if not positioned properly will be wedged on the contacts for the audio.

[@DanRPryor]

on the front facing camera?

[@katharineanderson6022]

I don't normally comment on these kind of things...but seriously, best instructions for replacing your screen, hands down. Saved me a good 300$.

[@sathishkumar-ik5sk]

hi, thanks for this useful video. I saw your video in that you have strip the sticker and fix the screen to motherboard (forward the video to 5:25 you can see the sticker which you strip) but i don't have the sticker which i purchased. After fixing everything i switch on the mobile it is working but in the bottom of the screen, touch is not working. don't know what to do help me please

[@vinsonwade]

Another successful G Pro screen replacement. $90 bucks saved. You guys rock! The most tedious part was cutting and placing the double sided adhesive. Figure out how to sell that pre-molded and your golden....I'd pay an extra $10 just for the convenience. Thanks fixez!

[@XanderYTV]

I ordered it from your website and it got here real quick. (3 days with standard shipping) with tools and followed this video and got it working. Thanks. You just saved me a bunch of money, aha.

[@Fixez]

+SShimon We're glad to hear the great news. Thank you

[@XanderYTV]

+Fixez.com the screen broke after a couple days lol... started spazzing out and touching random spots.

[@Fixez]

Is the touch screen physically damaged? If not, please email our support team as we offer a warranty period. [e-mail]

[@rakeshpimplikar]

Thanks! That's a very helpful tutorial. One question. Does replacing touch screen digitizer mean replacing Gorilla glass as well?

[@yezrr]

I am about to do the repair for my friend's phone. Do you currently have any coupon codes for your website to help him save money?

[@b80ys0x]

Hi, can we take off the lcd of the frame benzel ? Thanks for your answer.

[@MrCaffebene]

hello fixez, why did you choose to apply adhesive strips instead of a liquid adhesive (LOCA) on the LCD ?

[@yousefkosho1218]

Do u have a video for replacing the charging dock?

[@navyguy402003]

Hey Fixez! Thanks for the easy to follow video and instructions. One question, what size Phillips screwdriver should I use?

[@acsauk]

This guide looks great, are you planning on publishing one for the LG G Pro 2 anytime soon? I cracked my screen last week :(

[@timmayyyyy]

Can you give any advice how to remove stubborn small screws in the back after taking out the battery? I have the smallest screwdrivers I can find (Phillips and Torx) but a few screws come out and the others won't budge/catch on the screwdriver at all. Maybe the heads are too scratched up. Is there any trick around this? I was thinking something drastic like a drip of superglue to attach the screw to the screwdriver and then turn the screwdriver. Thanks for your help!

[@SucreVladimilReyezRamirez]

I have a E980 would like to ask the back and options button does not work for me but the rest of the screen if it works I would like to know if it is possible that this damaged the touch

[@Zee-Gilded]

Overall great video and very helpful worked great......except my front facing camera does not work anymore. This really isn't too big of a deal for me but the front facing camera is in place and I have all the plug style connectors in place. Any tips on what might be wrong or how to fix this??

[@DzBeanz]

I bought the digitizer touch screen from Amazon. Sorry I didn't know about you til afterwards, but I was wondering if the outer glass comes with it or do I need to purchase that too.

[@andrewthompson9112]

the video was great! however, i have a phone that i found on the side of the road, the screen was demolished by cars but the rest looks good, i was able to peel back the shattered screen and the lcd looks ok, but im not sure if it is or not, is there a way to check it?

[@jonnymiles3906]

Thanks so much for this! I just fixed mine. I had 12 screws for some reason rather than 14 but I worked it out. I wouldn't have attempted it if not for this video, you explain it really well. I was quoted £140 to get it repaired by a shop, ended up spending £16

[@igorkp]

Hi, I followed all the steps, and the new screen works....although looks like the proximity sensor got damaged somehow! I cannot make call becuase the screen turns black so I'm unable to finish my call or access the agenda.... How can I fix this???

[@corbowo]

If I wanted to salvage the touchscreen components, would the touchscreen still work afterward? Or will the heat ruin it?

[@danbear5376]

Does the adhesive tape go over the original tape? Or should I remove the original tape?

[@roflolhahaha]

Hi, I have bought the digitizer from ebay but i dont have the adhesive strips, can I use regular double-sided tape from stationery shops?

[@ettienlazarekpre2847]

High i would like to know where which kind of screwdriver do you use??? could you send me a link where i can buy it?? i use the phone repair tools but it's not efficient enough.

[@NenaHodges]

Thanks! How do I know if i need just a touchscreen replacement or if I need a new LCD as well?

[@NenaHodges]

I just cracked my screen like 5 mins ago lol :(, and its working fine, the screen is just cracked

[@NenaHodges]

Awwww thanks :)

[@NenaHodges]

***** I could all of my screws out except one , so I guess my phone will stay cracked :(

[@trevorkerr7090]

if i follow this video to replace my screen would it be safe to say my back button an menu button will work or will it be possible they could be messed up in the process

[@Fixez]

+Trevor Kerr You should be fine, there should be no damages in this process. Of course no guarantees but overall you should be fine.

[@courtneyparson6706]

hi i purchased a new screen from amazon and noticed that it didn't have a ribbon cable. Do i Need to purchase that as well?

[@JaySee5]

So, I can just take out the battery and use a blow dryer and plastic pry tool to remove the screen for cleaning and reapply adhesive?

[@alfredopalomino33]

Do any tools come with the screen replacement or is it all sold separate?

[@alfredopalomino33]

***** Just fixed both of mine and wifes phones! Followed your video which was very helpful! :) Only received one strip of adhesive with the phones but I managed! Great buy

[@sonicclub1]

Could you do a video for the LG optimus L70? or is it similar to this?

[@tegomix3455]

Ayúdenme con una duda por favor; ¿¿¿La mica táctil del Lg G Pro E986 es la misma que la del E980, E985 o la del F240??? Gracias de ante mano

[@calicheefa14]

I just replaced my cracked screen on my LG Optimus G pro using this video as a guide and the parts I ordered from fixex.com. I've done this before and it worked fine but this time my phone won't turn on after replacing the screen. The home button lights up, the charging screen come up when I plug it in but the power button seems to be broken, it won't turn my phone back on. We took the buttons out already and put them back again. Any advice on what may have went wrong or how to fix this? Thanks

[@mdoc7]

What cleaning agent is normally used for the LCD display?

[@kristijan0590]

any advice on not getting bubbles inside the screen?

[@Studify]

Hey fixez, I was wondering if i could replace my digitizer without using adhesive strips

[@Studify]

***** Would 2mm adhesive strips work? I bought a digitizer screen but it didn't come with adhesive tape or anything... I have the tools but not the adhesive strips :|

[@maaztahir4766]

how long do i set the adhesive down for?

[@mike2959]

After doing the screen everything works great except the proximity sensor isn't working. Dial a call the screen goes black. I even downloaded a few apps to test the sensor, seems like it's dead. Any idea's? Do you supply those or can refer me?

[@sudeshchandel]

Hi, I have a LG g pro e980 and the upper glass screen cracked. Its working fine. This video will work for the model e980 and can u plz tell me the url of screen for lg g pro e980.

[@victorshikhman]

Is there an air bubble caught between the glass and lcd screen? Does it affect functionality?

[@mdoc7]

One question: I left fingerprints on the LCD after removing the cracked screen cover. What cleaning agent would you use on the display to remove fingerprints? I already used a fiber cloth used for eyeglasses; wasn't good enough, so I need to use a cleaning agent.

[@therealjohnnyjohnson]

How would i repair this phone if I got the bezel with it the outer casing would I just follow the steps like this video and then replace it into the new casing

[@DanRPryor]

First I want to say thank you for this video. I ended up buying some tools and the 2 sided tape from you. The fix was successful but for some reason the external speaker is not working (no ringing, no notification sounds, no sound when playing video's, etc.) I did check the phone settings to make sure they weren't set to silent. I opened it up and rechecked all my connections. I don't know what I could have done. Any suggestions or thoughts what could have caused this?

[@DanRPryor]

Just an update in case anyone else has a similar problem. For some reason the connection from the speaker to the motherboard was not seating properly. Not sure why, the motherboard was proper as was the speaker. ended up putting a small piece of foam behind the connection on the speaker so it would have a tighter connection. This worked.

[@Pin90able]

Is this only if the phone has minor cracks or if its completely cracked on the whole screen

[@mkolorz]

Hello, I have a Optimus G (non-pro) with a broken digitizer. Every video I watch has the person replacing the digi+LCD at the same time. Is it possible to replace just the digi? My LCD is fine. Would like to minimize costs to repair the phone.

[@mkolorz]

Thanks very much for your quick response. I have an Optimus E971, I'm asuming its one of the models with the fused LCD/Digi?

[@gonzalofernandez1232]

hello how are you? I had the same problem as you have your phone with you're showing in the video, and change the screen but now shows me image, Might I suggest that I do to fix it?. Thank you.

[@iamhannahmontana1153]

Hello, I am interested in buying your products. If my phone is cracked really bad, and the screen is glitching (moving around on its own and unstoppable), and parts of the screen don't work, what do I need to replace? And I have the Korean model, will the phone be affected if I use US or other parts?

[@iamhannahmontana1153]

***** I have the LG Optimus G Pro E980 by AT&T It is also unlocked

[@iamhannahmontana1153]

***** does it come with the glass, or it separate

[@reinaldoalvarado4884]

Don't you have to bond the glass with the LCD using some loca glue? I have a friend who wants to attempt this repair and I'm trying to save him any trouble. I repaired my Note 2 a while back and had to take it apart because none of the repair videos I followed were bonding the glass to the LCD. They would just use the adhesives on the side like in this guide. I would get ugly bubbles when I pressed the screen so I had to redo it and bond with the loca glue. Everything is all good now. So will the Pro have the same issue without loca? The original screen did look bonded with loca when it was removed here.

[@reinaldoalvarado4884]

No that'll do. Thank you for the reply!

[@mnegrete75]

Do yall have a lg volt vid

[@fatherperson]

My Pro has a cracked screen but worked fine until it got bumped off the table. The display first showed "off" colors, the started jumping and rolling as you touched various part of the screen.. Finally it is now black. The phone however still works as you can hear when a text comes in, plus if you touch the screen you can hear the "bubble" sound on the locked hoe screen. Do you think replaing the touchscreen/optimerizer would fix this or so you think the lcd is bad now as well.I would like to know before I order the optimer and repair tools...

[@fatherperson]

Sorry about the spelling... I type too fast and need to learn to proofread before sending..lol.

[@fatherperson]

Thanks very much! Once I finish working on my wifes car and get the extra money, will be ordering the parts.

[@andeng11]

My back and option button doesnt work after the replacement. Does the flex needs to be with adhesive bfore placing it?

[@Judexy22]

Do you have a video on replacing the screen of the LG Pro Lite D686 ? Thank you.

[@wimmarges3264]

No sorry I can help you. Wim from Holland

[@Judexy22]

***** Thank you. Is there written instruction that can be downloaded from the net ?

[@BBrowning]

Do you not have to worry about air bubbles under the screen?

[@cbelindadavis]

What size adhesive tape do I need

[@MghUnit407]

hello I have a question My screen is cracked, but I can still touch things in the cracked areas. So all I have to worry about the is the glass right? not the LCD?

[@Fixez]

+MghUnit407 Correct. The benefit here is the LCD is not fused, you can replace just the touch screen. www.fixez.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=optimus+g+pro

[@THEDOITYOURSELFGURL]

if I purchase the touch screen from your site, is there a warranty and if there is something wrong, will I be able to return with no charge? I ask because I purchased a touch screen replacement from amazon and it worked for a little while, but now it doesn't work at all. I put my old cracked screen in and it works but is limited on what it does. I just want to fix my phone and not keep wasting my money. Thanks and please help.

[@THEDOITYOURSELFGURL]

***** thank you and i will be ordering monday

[@ravisr4561]

Hi, I have a question.With my phone suddenly the touch stops working for sometime.And suddenly the phone starts opening some apps as if someone has clicked them.Will replacing the touchscreen and the digitize help solve my problem?

[@KYLE-zo4bm]

i dont understand how to apply the adhesive strips the screen i bought came with a pre molded adhesive but i messed it up and had to buy more adhesive so are there any videos on or instructions on how to do this

[@TheBoxingNinja]

+KY LE Why does one need the adhesives? I didn't get why they were needed in the 1st place.

[@KYLE-zo4bm]

idk i eventually figured it out but... i fucked it up again tried three times but couldn't get the screen would always come up stuck so i just ended up buying another phone lol

[@TheBoxingNinja]

KY LE That sucks. Want I was looking at the comments for ws if it's an easy thing to do, or very hard. I can get a business to do it for $99, but I can get the parts myself for $20. So you think it's pretty hard to change the screen? I don't want to wast my money.

[@KYLE-zo4bm]

well no its really not all that hard to take it part if you keep with all the screws and cameras etc, its just really tedious trying to put all the adhesive strips exactly right lined up and the most tedious is the buttons if they fallout

[@TheBoxingNinja]

***** How long has the phone been back together and working fine? And thank you very much for helping me, I Very Much Appreciate That!

[@carmenkelling]

How are you going to remove the air-bubbles seen under the new screen? Is there a trick?

[@dallintoth7200]

I have just some the repair on my g pro. Everything works great except there is now spots where the touch screen doesn't work. I ordered the screen from fixez

[@ramithamanage2005]

Hello Fixez, Can we replace LG G Pro 2 - F350s (Korean Version) touch panel as same above.?

[@mmsmama6588]

Thank you so much for this easy to follow video. I am not a person that is good with technology and I was able to replace the cracked screen on my phone.

[@atlante473]

what is price of the glass for lg g pro lite D680 ??

[@ciarreboyle9868]

Well, i ordered the screen and watched this video! And yes it was successfully fixed by me! Thank you! Went smoothly took some time but was totally worth it! Just wanted to give good feedback!

[@ag06dra]

hi, tell me please the price of the pice that you change it, in euro, thanks

[@mree2043]

What do I need to replace? The middle row of keys when pressed types the upper row keys. Example when I press a I get w I press s I get e I press d I get r If I turn the phone sideways the keys work. Seems to be a dead spot an inch from the bottom of the screen. The screen is not damaged - cracked or anything.

[@TetrachordFour]

After replacing my screen (which went well), I'm starting to collect dust under the screen, and sometimes the ability to touch goes in and out. Should I start over and re-apply the screen?

[@husein425]

is it compatible with the lg optimus g pro e986?

[@jbuilds1]

okay I have a weird problem. I followed the video and when I put the plastic cover (with the 3 buttons) in, I tested it and my phone worked. Then I put all the screws back in place and now the phone won't turn on. I took the screws out again and it works fine, put them back in and no power. Whats going on? I turned in on without any screws, then installed each screw one by one to see what happens, but diddn't notice any pattern. Right now i'm using my phone without any screws lol but i really would like to have them in place. Any suggestions?

[@sahuvikramindia]

hello,i just gave my phone to a service center for replacing digitizer and they broke my lcd during the process. they say their is always 50% to break and its common,where as i have seen no mention of such possibilities anywhere on internet. what could be the reason that my lcd broke, the service center is big so i dont think they keep inexperienced people there. please give your opinion

[@victor971281]

Ey u can u make a video on how to replace the screen and the digitizer on a lg L70 from metro pcs plzz

[@nickdoof]

You guys need to emphasize the importance of cutting the adhesive tape very precisely. Also, at 4:00 in the video it shows two small gaps in the adhesive strip on the sides of the LCD. I did the same on my phone as I figured if you guys left them out in your video there was some reason for it. Well, there is now a good amount of dust getting under the touch screen and ontop of the LCD through the sides right at these two spots. Pretty disappointed here. Also, whenever I make a phone call now my screen goes black immediately as if I have it up to my face, and it will not come back on until the phone call has ended. So I can't use my keypad at all while making a phone call. I've checked all the connections and they are solid and nothing was damaged.

[@Zeonick1]

***** You can add notes to existing videos. Why not add a note around the 4 minute mark saying to add gasket material to the full length of the sides? I think that would be a good thing to do. Just saying.

[@MemeCoinNewsToday]

its glass or plastic ?

[@hongryunable]

What about g pro 2? Is same with g pro?

[@adolfheissenberg7398]

my screws were on so tight that i ended up stripping my screwdriver and now i cant do anything. i only got as far as 5 screws, what do you suggest?

[@asapshman339]

is the adhesive strip really necessary for the screen? I couldn't cut my adhesive and it ended up getting messed up.

[@Fixez]

+ASAP Shman You would require it as the screen needs to be adhered to your frame. Otherwise, the screen would simply not adhere to the frame.

[@megamegaO]

fixez.com; I'm wondering, what would cause me to think something was wrong with the LCD screen? Any ideas? Is it like half the screen shows up, or you can't see anything? Because if that's the case, I would just need a screen replacement

[@Fixez]

+Madara Uchiha If you can not see anything displaying on your screen, the LCD is most likely damaged. The LCD is what would display your images, any discrepancies here would lead to an LCD issue.

[@matiasgf2000]

what adhesive to you use??? thanks

[@matiasgf2000]

***** thenks, the adhesive is 2mm thick?

[@sriramsuja]

I was almost done installing the new screen for my LG Optimus Pro, but I ended up damaging the ribbon cable on the new screen, as I was inserting it through the slot on the frame. It turned out I had a bit more adhesive and it was closing a part of the hole. The extra adhesive ended up cutting a corner of the ribbon cable on the new screen. I don't want to finish it and find out that it doesn't work. I hope you can help me out. Cutting the adhesive to precision is the hardest part. Otherwise, the instructions in this video are very clear.

[@sriramsuja]

By the way I did buy the replacement (screen only) from fixez.

[@sriramsuja]

***** Reordered (came in quickly) and it is fixed. Very responsive screen. Can't tell the difference to the original. As somone said, it even says LG on it. Good customer support.

[@AliHassan-mh6qg]

I was able to remove all screws except 1 which was stripped. cant remove it at all any suggestions?? thanks.

[@BLiNKBeaTs]

OMG!!!! IT'S THAT SIMPLE?!?!? No HEAT GUN?!?! I'm in HEAVEN!!!!

[@MrFlyboy123456789]

My camera is really blurry and the Lens covers are off .what need fixing? Do I need to replace the rear camera or put new lens in.

[@MrFlyboy123456789]

***** so its the rear camera

[@DzBeanz]

I just followed your procedure and everything went fine. Except when I try to turn it on my touchscreen does not respond. I've taken it apart 3 times since and tried to see if I have any damage but no. Do you have an answer why my touchscreen isn't working? It better not be the new screen.

[@joshjones3728]

Hi. I just bought the Touch Screen Replacement from your website. I followed the instructions, and everything seemed to go okay when I was putting it on. But now that I have my phone back together, the menu and back buttons at the bottom of the phone don't work. I've taken everything apart and put it back together twice now, but those buttons still aren't working . I'm pretty sure all my connections are secure. Any suggestions?

[@andeng11]

@josh jones. I have the same problem as yours after replacing the glass, i just want to know if you have already fixed the problem, and if so, how? Thanks in advance

[@joshjones3728]

Adrian, I was unable to fix the problem or find a solution.

[@robertl7120]

I replace screen. Evething is working but the back and option button are not working too. I think many people having same problem.

[@La_sombra5]

I got a new glass for this phone and it didn't came with the digitizer Can i put the digitizer from the old screen to the new one?

[@scotthamlin5339]

Got everything back together but now when I receive a call the screen goes blank? Online forums talk about the proximity sensor. I made sure it's not blocked by adhesive but not sure what else to try. TYVM.

Wo0uld you please clear it to me about that?...

[@yuriefa]

***** Both are broken!.. I would like to know if at this point it is convenient to order the combo... and if it will also save me any segment of the entire process of disassembling... is it needed to disassemble it completely?.... thanks for your prompt response.
