Good day Mi-fans! As we understand, the main function of the protective glass of a smartphone is to take a hit, protecting the touchscreen from damage. When this happens, it often becomes unusable, covered with chips, cracks, and other damage. The level of protection from this drops significantly, in addition, the view of the display deteriorates, and the smart loses its attractiveness. To replace the glass with a new one, you must first remove the old one. And here difficulties arise, which will be discussed in this topic. Precautions There is one important point to consider before removing the old protective glass from your smartphone. Thanks to the perfectly smooth surface of the touchscreen, the glass adheres to it very tightly. Usually it is held not by glue (although in our time it is often mostly so), but by electrostatic forces. The two flat surfaces are very firmly in contact, not allowing you to remove the glass, just pry it with your fingernail. If you take the first available tool (like a knife) - there is a risk of damaging the smartphone display and its case. One silicone suction cup is also not enough. If you stick to a strongly pocozzon glass, a vacuum does not form inside it, and when force is applied, it will jump off. If the grip is good, the suction cup will not come off, but another problem arises. The sensor is fixed in the body using double-sided adhesive tape or glue, the tensile strength of which is lower than that of a touchscreen and protective glass. Overdoing it, you can disrupt the module completely, damaging its cables. Therefore, you need to act deliberately and consistently. How to remove the protective glass from the smart and stick a new one Before you can remove the broken protective glass from the phone and replace it, you need to prepare and arm yourself with a set of tools and improvised means. To do this, you will need: ➠ a pick, a spatula or a thin plastic card (preferably 2 pieces). ➠ silicone suction cup (optional) ➠ lint-free cloth (preferably made of microfiber) ➠ Glass cleaner (preferably alcohol-containing), alcohol, vodka, or an alcohol-based perfume (perfume, eau de toilette) to choose from ➠ medical gloves (if possible) Often new protective glass can The dismantling procedure is simple and takes just a minute ➠ Before removing the protective glass from your phone, you need to wash your hands with soap and dry thoroughly, or just wear rubber gloves. This is necessary to prevent the appearance of fingerprints and smudges on the surface of the screen. On the broken glass, you should find the most complete corner, where there are no chips and other damage (or there is, but in the smallest amount). You need to attach there with a suction cup, pressing it to the screen. The corner to which the suction cup is glued must be pry off with a pick, spatula or suction cup so that the edge of the glass peels off. This requires a slight pull on the suction cup at the same time. It is important not to overdo it, so as not to rip the screen before a gap forms between it and the glass! If the suction cup is not at hand, you can simply smoothly insert the pick deeper into the gap formed. As the glass peels off, the pick / spatula / card should be deepened. If the screen is large, it is recommended to work with two tools at once, moving them in different directions. The final touch is to pull the suction cup towards you until the glass is completely detached. You can grab the edge with your fingers and do the same. Bonding a new protective glass Before sticking the protective glass on your phone, you should take a lint-free cloth, moisten the screen with cleaner, alcohol or an alternative. This step is required for complete removal dust and degrease the surface, for better adhesion strength. In what order to glue the protective glass ➠ Grasp the new protective glass by the edges. The hand must be washed and dry. ➠ Pull the tongue protective film covering the adhesive surface and remove it. You need to keep the glass closer to the smartphone so that no dust particles stick when you move it in the air. Place the glass a few millimeters from the display, center and align. It is necessary to ensure that the holes for the speaker, camera, physical keys and other elements are strictly aligned.➠ Lower the protective glass onto the display, slightly pressing down and smoothing out the bubbles. It is easy to get rid of them by pushing to the edges with a dry cloth.➠ Remove the top film that protects the glass during transportation.1.Wipe the screen 2.Remove the film from the glass 3.Align it over the display 4.Press 5.Peel off the protective film from the top 6. Pry the edge with a pick and remove dust if it gets in. If there is still unnoticed dust under the glass, you need to peel off a part of the protective glass to the place where the speck fell. It can be blown out with a hair dryer / compressor / can of compressed air or removed with fine tweezers. After that, you can glue the protective glass back. I hope you enjoyed it this topic... And after reading it, you will glue new protective glasses and pockets, easy and simple!

We remove the old broken protective glass in a couple of minutes.

And those who do not know what it is can watch my video: https://youtu.be/xV8qQth30zo

At the end of the video, I outline this in general terms.

The main function of the protective glass is considered to save the phone from shock, cracks and scratches. This element takes care of everything. Over time, it becomes unusable as it loses its attractive appearance... This reduces the level of protection of the device. To replace it, you must first learn how to remove the protective glass from your iPhone. This procedure is simple. You just need to follow simple rules.

Before you get acquainted with how to remove the protective glass from the "iPhone 6" and 5, you need to familiarize yourself with the reasons for replacement:

• The appearance of the phone deteriorates.
• The protective functions of the device are lost.
• If you want to change to a new glass.

When the phone has a new protective glass, the device looks neat. There are special accessories for the iPhone that fit perfectly in size. But you can also use universal ones that need to be glued correctly.

It is necessary to take into account one important nuance before removing the protective glass from the "iPhone 5" or 6. Since the surface of the screen is perfectly smooth, the glass is fixed to it securely. It is held not only by glue, but also by electrostatic forces. The two surfaces are firmly in contact, and therefore the glass is not so easy to remove. You need to pry it off with your fingernail. If you use another object for these purposes, for example, a knife, then there is a possibility of damage to the display.

A silicone suction cup alone will not help here either. If it sticks securely to the damaged surface, there will be no vacuum under it, it rebounds with force. When the grip is good, the suction cup will not come off, but another complication will appear.

The sensor is attached to the body with double-sided tape or glue. They are less durable than touchscreen and protective glass. If you apply force, you can rip off the entire screen module, which will damage its loops. Therefore, actions must be deliberate. Only then can you use the instructions on how to remove the protective glass from the "iPhone 5s" or other type of device.

The work must be done carefully. Before removing the protective glass from the iPhone, you need to prepare everything for the procedure:

• Mediator.
• Silicone suction cup.
• Lint-free napkin.
• Wiper.
• Medical gloves.

Some glass sets include everything you need to complete the procedure. If these details are there, then the work is easy.

How to remove a protective glass from an iPhone so that everything works out neatly. Before the procedure, you need to wash your hands with soap and dry. You can use rubber gloves. This is to prevent fingerprints and smudges. The screen will look neat.

On the damaged glass, you need to find a whole corner where there are no chips or other damage. In it, you need to cling to the suction cup, pressing it to the device. The corner with the suction cup must be pry off with a pick, a spatula, so that the glass peels off. To do this, you need to pull the suction cup in your direction.

The procedure must be carried out carefully so that the screen is not torn off before a gap forms. If there is no suction cup, you can smoothly insert the pick into the gap that appears. When peeling, you need to deepen the pick. With a large screen, you have to use two tools. At the end, you need to lift the suction cup towards you to completely eliminate the glass.

When the user knows how to remove the protective glass from the iPhone, you can safely follow the procedure. Then you will probably need to glue a new element. For the result to be of high quality, work should be done in a clean room. Before sticking on a lint-free cloth, you need to apply a cleaner and treat the surface with it. This is necessary to completely eliminate dust and degrease the surface.

The glass must be taken by the edges. Hands should be washed and dried. You can work with medical gloves. Then you need to pull on the tab of the protective film, which is on the adhesive surface, and remove it. The glass should be kept closer to the smartphone so that no dust particles adhere during operation.

The glass is placed away from the sensor and needs to be centered and aligned. Make sure that all holes match. The product must be lowered onto the display, pressing it down a little. Bubbles must be removed immediately by wiping the surface with a dry cloth. At the end, you need to remove the film, which served to protect the product during transportation.

It is better to immediately remove dust particles that have fallen under the glass. It is necessary to carefully peel off the glass, removing debris. You can use a napkin or tweezers to do this. Then the glass is put in place. The phone will then be protected from damage again. The procedure for removing and gluing glass is the same for all iPhones. You just need to choose the right accessory.

Glass on mobile phone- this is one of the most fragile elements. Worth mobile device fall on the asphalt or rubble, the screen will break in most cases. And even the use of durable types by manufacturers does not save - the displays still beat. In this case, you have to buy a new one and also spend money on replacing the glass on your smartphone. However, you can try to carry out this operation yourself.

Theory

Before you start manipulating the software on your smartphone, you need to know what you will have to deal with. The main elements here will be:

1. Matrix, which is a liquid crystal panel. It is on it that the image that you see is formed. In some phones, the matrix is ​​located under a protective glass, while in other models these two elements are one piece. The matrix is ​​connected to the main board of the smartphone through special cables.
2. Touchscreen. This is a glass panel that breaks when the smartphone is dropped. It is she who will have to be changed. If the touchscreen with the matrix is ​​one integral element, then if the touchscreen breaks down, you will have to change the matrix as well. It is expensive.
3. Frame and buttons.
4. Backlight.
5. Loops.

Procedure for replacing glass on a smartphone

When falling, the touchscreen always suffers first of all, and then breakage and matrixes are possible. In any case, the replacement order will look like this:

1. Dismantling the smartphone.
2. Removing the main module from the case.
3. Warming up the screen.
4. Separation of the touchscreen from the main module. Sometimes it is filmed along with the matrix.
5. Cleaning from glue and dust residues.
6. Applying glue for installing a new touch glass... Irradiation with a lamp for fast drying.
7. Assembly of the case.

Instructions

If your phone has a matrix and a touchscreen - different, separate elements from each other, then you can cope with a simple procedure yourself. This will help save money, because the cost of replacing glass on a smartphone can cost 1000 rubles, and there are only 10 minutes to do there.

For work we need:

1. Curly screwdrivers.
2. Hair dryer. Preferably editing.
3. Scotch tape or glue.
4. Mediator.
5. Gloves.
6. A plastic card.
7. Scapula.

Some of these fixtures are shipped with the new screen.

You need to start with the bolts. We unscrew the bolts with a small curly screwdriver. Most often, an asterisk screwdriver is required. Put all the bolts in one place so as not to lose. A regular matchbox is ideal. Many models have a hidden bolt on the top left of the smartphone. It also needs to be unscrewed.

Now we take a pick and use it to try to remove the smartphone body around the perimeter. This tool is ideal for this purpose. Many people try to remove the cover with a screwdriver, but small dents remain from it on the sides, which are immediately visible and even felt when you pick up the phone. Therefore, the pick is an ideal tool for removing the body of a smartphone.

Pay attention to the side latches. They need to be pressed slightly to remove the housing. These latches are fragile and break easily, so do it carefully. If you break any of them, the body will not fit as tightly as before.

Now you need to dismantle the buttons that are on the sides. Take the tweezers and carefully remove them without touching any trains. If there is a top on / off button for the smartphone, then it must also be removed.

After dismantling the buttons, we move the main board aside, but we do it very carefully, because under it there is a loop to the touchscreen. You need to disconnect it and connect the ribbon cable of the new touch glass. This is necessary to check the functionality. After connecting the loop, turn on the smartphone and slide your finger over the new touchscreen. If it works, then you can proceed to the complete removal of the previous glass.

We remove the old glass and glue the new one

To remove the glass with a hair dryer, it is necessary to warm up the areas of its attachment to the case (usually the touchscreen is attached to the front of the case). Warming up is done at a temperature of 70 degrees for 5-10 minutes. During this time, the assembly glue will melt and the touchscreen will easily come off. You can then attach the new sensor to the main body of your phone. There are 2 options at this stage:

1. Remove remnants of old glue. Glue double-sided tape instead of it and attach a new sensor to it. Note that this is the correct method, but it is more labor-intensive, because it is necessary to remove the old glue, and this is quite difficult.
2. Replace the protective glass on the smartphone with old glue. This can also be done, and the adhesion of the new sensor to the adhesive will be strong. But first, you need to warm up the old glue with a hairdryer after you have torn off the old touchscreen.

Have you glued on new glass? Now you need to insert the cable from the sensor into the connector where the cable from the old glass was connected. After that, you need to assemble the phone in reverse order.

How much does it cost to replace glass on a smartphone?

If you go to the workshops, then you will have to pay for the screen and the work of the master, which, depending on the workshop and the region, can be estimated at 500-1000 rubles. By replacing the glass yourself, you will save money. In this case, it is better to order the sensor through the well-known Chinese site, which will save even more.

If you change the display in the cabin on a new smartphone, then the replacement will be very expensive and often translates into 50% of the cost of the phone itself, and sometimes even more. Therefore, if you have the skills to replace displays and sensors, then sometimes it is beneficial to do it all yourself, even if it takes much more time than in a workshop.

In cases where the sensor and the matrix of the smartphone are one whole, the replacement will also be expensive, because the matrix itself is an expensive element, and the price of the sensor is cheap. Of course, the image on such displays looks good, but in the event of a drop and damage to glass, repairs cost a round sum.

Conclusion

Replacing glass on a smartphone with your own hands is a simple task that requires experience, nothing more. If you want to learn how to do this, then practice first on an old smartphone that you don't mind ruining. After one or two procedures, you will learn and be able to easily replace yourself. True, different models may have their own subtleties, but you will figure it out.

When replacing a protective glass on a smartphone, few people do not worry about observing the rules and perform re-gluing with improvised tools. As a result: there are scratches on the phone, the coating lays down unevenly, becomes covered with bubbles, or just doesn't stick tightly.

We have prepared a short instruction manual for those who want to install the glass on their own. The article contains basic information, but for the sake of completeness, we recommend watching the video with detailed description stages of installation.

Removing old glass: what is important to remember

You have to understand that glass does not stick to the screen because of a special adhesive coating. The adhesion of the film to the smooth surface of the touchscreen is due to static. An attempt to remove it by prying it with a fingernail or (much worse) with a knife will result in damage to the screen and the phone case.

Even using a special suction cup can lead to unpleasant consequences. Remember, do everything smoothly. Pressing firmly on the Velcro, you risk damaging the cables or ripping off the screen module. A vacuum is formed between the glass and the film, which will resist the adhesion of the coatings. But even if the suction cup adheres well to the film, there is a chance of damage to the sensor when removing the protective glass. Therefore, proceed consistently and carefully.

What to prepare for installing a protective glass:

• a pick (or a thin plastic card) - it is better to take 2 pieces;
• silicone suction cup (if you already have experience with reinstallation, you can do without Velcro);
• a napkin or a piece of lint-free cloth;
• an alcohol-based glass cleaner (pure alcohol or perfume will also work);
• medical gloves (silicone or rubber).
• Once armed with these tools, the job will take less than two minutes.

Brief description of the process

Make sure your hands are free of dust or lint before starting work. It is impossible to see the smallest particles on your fingers, so play it safe and wear medical gloves. They are thin and fit snugly on the arm, so they will not interfere with your work.

Next, install the suction cup on the area of ​​the phone with damaged glass, where there are fewer fragments and cracks. Gently attach the Velcro to the corner of the screen, and then press down slightly, glue it to the glass. Take the pick and pull the suction cup towards you, only gradually increase the force, otherwise the glass will come off along with the screen.

As soon as you feel that the glass is peeling, deepen the pick.

When the glass around the perimeter peels off ~ 80%, feel free to pull the suction cup and tear off the old screen.

We glue new glass

Remove dust and fingerprints before applying new coating. A lint-free cloth is suitable for this: first moisten the screen with glass cleaner and degrease the surface with a prepared cloth. Next, we move according to the scheme:

Carefully remove the adhesive protective surface on the film (keep the glass near the phone, otherwise air dust will stick while you carry the film).

Place the glass as close to the screen as possible (align with the center, make sure that all openings for buttons, connectors and the camera pass through the film).

Slowly lower the protective cover onto the screen, press down and smooth from the center to the corners at the same time. Use a dry, lint-free cloth or a thin plastic card to do this.

Remove the shipping protection tape.

It is not always possible to glue the glass to the phone without getting dust and lint. If you see that there are debris under the film, peel off the glass exactly to the place where there is dirt. You can also use a compressor, a technical vacuum cleaner, or a can of compressed air to blow out dust particles. If you don't have anything at hand, use tweezers. Once the dirt is removed, stick the glass back.
