NICE VIDEO BRO I GOT THE SAME PHONE ... THANKS FOR FUTURE HELP

[@RepairTalk]

Awesome. Great to hear I can help. I most likely will redo this video with a better angle in the future. Not sure though, have 100 or more hours of footage to comb through for next few projects.

Thank for this ☺ Could the battery have been removed right after the mid board was removed?

[@RepairTalk]

Yes, whatever is easier for you, I like to make any possible damage to other components minimal.

@@RepairTalk thank you

After applying heat, what do you think about adding solvent (isopropyl alcohol) while using plastic card to separate cover? I saw this on another video.

[@RepairTalk]

Yes, I have tried this, but it will allow the adhesive to stick to the frame again and that can make it more difficult for some. When I use a xacto chisel to scrape off old adhesive, as I do for iPad repairs, I use alcohol to ensure my blade slides without much effort and also gets stubborn adhesive to come right off.

It appears to me (from eBay, not this video) that the screens are separate parts from the display. Now, unless that's not true, I was really hoping that replacing it would not be anywhere near this involved. If the display still works just fine, and I only want to replace the glass, do I really have to go through all this?

Glass is glued to the LCD with Loca glue.. it can be cut off with a good heat gun, or freezing technique.. but it is very very difficult for a beginner to go a glass only on this display, and just about impossible to have a perfect looking display when finished if everything goes right. Loca glue requires a big UV light, not a black light, and about 4-8 hours under the light to allow that glue to dry. It’s just easier to replace the entire display with frame to avoid issues down the road. I’ve ran a store for 4+ years, and we did glass only repairs a lot in the beginning, profit margin is high... but so is your risk. Replace the whole screen, and sell the “broken but working” display on eBay to someone who specializes in glass only work. Win win imo!

Does this phone charge wirelessly if you buy wireless charger. If charging port is damaged

[@RepairTalk]

No. Unfortunately wireless charging is yet to show its face in the mid to low range models from Samsung, Motorola, or LG.
