I appreciate that you includes the reassembly now. Cheers

[@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076]

I appreciate when they includes it's too

[@groaning620]

At first I thought this was going to be super challenging, this looks really simple, at least to me. The hardest is here, is probably trying not to lose a screw.

[@XtrAMassivE]

Opening the phone and changing the battery was the easy part, but removing all the glue residue... that was pain in the buttocks

[@mcdswifi]

@@XtrAMassivE Bro just appreciate the fact that it doesn't have any software pairing like another brand

[@demon1ak75]

Use a piece of cardboard write where the screws are then put them in it

[@FoxLunar]

It's a very good guide, but you can't really just breeze over aspects like 'with new adhesive applied' ...I don't work on cell phones for a living, I don't know what that means.

[@narayan_5931]

Just wanted to share. My S10 plus display was cracked. I sent it to official Samsung service center. They didnt separated the display from the steel frame(housing) like 2:15 they replaced the whole body of phone including the steel housing and all the accessories attached to it except the camara,battery and motherboard etc. Even the vibration motor and copper cooling plate is replaced .as the whole housing contains. Because as the display is permanently attached and the phone is IP68 water resistant. And removing it from frame and reattaching can cause the water leak inside. Thumbs up Samsung for service . Though they charged nearly 200 dollers. 🙊

[@mcabell]

May I ask where you got this done? I would gladly pay around $150-$200 for a legit replacement

[@mgresham424]

Schrauben werden immer nach rechts ein gedreht, nicht nach links wie im Video ! Bei original Samsung Ersatz Display´s entfällt das Trennen des Displays vom Mittelrahmen. Die NFC/QI Antenne und den Lautsprecher getrennt entfernen (nach oben und unteren klappen) und beim zurück Bauen zuerst oben und unten einsetzen, sonst brechen die "Nasen" sehr leicht. Die Schrauben erst nach links drehen um das Gewinde zu suchen, wenn es "klack" macht kann es fest geschraubt werden (Wiha Drehmoment Schraubendreher benutzen)....

its tempting, i just cracked the screen and damaged the display on my s10+ and have been contacting multiple places. samsung was 300 to replace it, local places around me want 375 to replace it. Then looking at the replacement displays seems to be averaging around 250+ no including the specialized tools required. I found one place that sells the display and the picks and suction cup for 279. But then im thinking.. okay if i attempt this an mess it up than i just wasted nearly 300 dollars. if i have samsung do it i know its not gonna be messed up... i'll pay a little more but atleast its gonna be samsung factory quality. If i were able to find a replacement shipped with the tools for less than 250 id probably just go for it. but i'll continue to look. It doesnt look that difficult but then again when its pro's like this they always make it look easy.

[@Kayshots]

The phone only sells for like 300$ rn... I wont spend 250$ on a display..

[@CarsnStuff]

@@Kayshots yeah i ultimately ended up purchasing a new phone. If the displays ever go down in price though i'll forsure replace it because the phone is still a great phone and works fine. takes nice pictures. its just a matter of the display only showing half the screen makes it impossible to use.

[@Kayshots]

@@CarsnStuff Yeah my s10+ fell on tubes today. Screen protector hasn't a scratch but the screen is cracked. Still works though so no problems

[@dgonsoulin]

This video omits a big part of replacing a screen. They don't mention that the "display" really has three layers. 1. Screen protector 2. Glass cover 3. Display. You should first pull off the screen protector, then carefully separate the thin glass cover from the display. I think you will find that most of the time the cracks you're seeing are the glass cover that's cracked and not the expensive display! Check this BEFORE you pay for a display.

@GLORYWINGS [POV] Possible, just needs special equipment, time and lots of skill

[@peterdzvonik8289]

close to impossible

[@ZoulousProductions]

far to possible

[@plate4416]

Basically impossible as the OLED screen is glued quite permanently to it with some very strong glue that is basically insoluble in any adhesive remover. Add that to the extremely fragile OLED screen that when looked at wrong can break without the protective glass on it. You need some very very very expensive equipment and unless you want to start a business doing this is just plain stupid. On say an Apple watch cutting the adhesive is possible but on a phone is not feasible.

Paying for the insurance sure comes out a lot cheaper and so much less hassle! It blows my mind people by a phone for over $1,000 ( that has a screen all the way to the edge) and don't get insurance! Fin crazy!

[@alexs7097]

Well, you also have to take into account that the phone which costs $1000 when you buy it on a plan for 12 or 24 months will become obsolete literally after 6-8 months of purchase and definitely obsolete after 12 months as both Samsung and Apple release new models every 12 months. Paying extra $20-30 a month for insurance sometimes is not at all viable as the phone becomes obsolete very quickly and chances are that you will be upgrading in the next 12 months anyway. If you are reckless or stupid enough to drop the phone and not have a case and screen protector for it means you are an idiot and should not have a $1000 phone but a $200-300 one.
