How to remove broken glass on Samsung s3. Replacing glass on a smartphone on your own: description, recommendations and requirements

Is the glass on your smartphone damaged? Don't be upset, the matter will be fixable. First, make sure the display is OK. If yes, then replacing the glass on your Samsung Galaxy s4 will help solve the problem.

It is this problem that gadget owners most often turn to service centers with. Such breakdowns are not uncommon. A strong impact, falling or squeezing of the device does not benefit the glass. As a result, cracks appear.

Features of replacing glass on Samsung Galaxy

Regardless of any damage, chips, small cracks on the screen, graphic artifacts or stains, the glass needs to be replaced.

1. If the display under the glass is damaged, you will notice this by the appearance of stripes, and the color rendition will change. In this case, repairs are also carried out; the manufacturing company has provided for the replacement of the display module, consisting of a screen, sensor and glass.
2. You should not contact private companies. It is not a fact that they will replace the original glass on the smartphone. Counterfeits are thick and lack tinting and special protective coating. This means that further repairs will soon be required. The glue used when replacing glass in dubious service centers is mostly of poor quality. As a result, spots and stains appear on the glass. There are also “craftsmen” who simply attach the part with tape.
3. In reliable service centers, glass replacement on a Samsung Galaxy is carried out using modern technologies using special equipment. This preserves all the processes used by the manufacturer, since the replacement is carried out separately from the module.

Advantages of repairs at a service center

The repair is carried out in compliance with all the rules - removing the damaged glass, thoroughly cleaning the inside of the gadget, installing a new original part with the application of a protective coating.

1. Repair work is carried out by professionals who have the necessary skills and experience in using special equipment.
2. Replacing glass is not the most difficult task, but it is not easy to do at home without special equipment and tools available in workshops.
3. Guarantee for all types of services.
4. High quality optical glue is used.
5. There is glass available for smartphones in any color.
6. Fixed price for replacing Samsung Galaxy s4 glass, which is significantly lower than the cost that private technicians will quote you.
7. The quality corresponds to factory parameters, which means that the glass will serve you for a long time.

How to make a replacement at home

It is worth noting that this method requires special skills, and not everyone can do it. Therefore, it is not worth the risk. In addition, you will need a special apparatus for replacing protective glass. However, if you are confident that you can handle it, you can try. And the instructions will help you with this.

• open the cover by unscrewing nine bolts;
• carefully snap off the coaxial cable and cables;
• unscrew the bolts holding the board checking:
• remove the boards, leaving the display module in place;
• take the device, set the temperature to 80 degrees;
• Place the module on the separator and warm it up for a few minutes:
• you will see a gap into which you need to insert a strong thread, and slowly begin to separate the glass;
• thoroughly clean the display of old glue;
• connect the module to the board;
• insert the module;
• in the engineering menu, dial the combination *#0*#, from the suggested ones, select “touchscreen test”:
• if everything works, apply special glue;
• dry the device in the apparatus;
• assemble by tightening all the bolts.

To summarize, we note that a smartphone repaired at a service center is no different from a device just purchased in a store. And replacing the glass on a Samsung Galaxy s4 by a professional does not take more than 1.5 hours. We recommend doing this only at a service center, so as not to pay even larger sums for repairs later.

The main function of a smartphone's protective glass is to take the blow, protecting the touchscreen from damage. When this happens, it often becomes unusable, becoming 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 smartphone loses its attractiveness. To change the cover to a new one, you must first remove the broken protective glass from the phone. And here difficulties arise, which will be discussed in the material.

Precautionary measures

There is one important point to consider before removing the old protective glass from your phone. Thanks to the perfectly smooth surface of the touch screen, the glass adheres to it very firmly. Usually it is held in place not by glue (although this also happens), but by electrostatic forces. The two flat surfaces are in very strong contact, making it impossible to remove the glass simply by lifting it with your fingernail. If you take the first available tool (like a knife), there is a risk of damaging the smartphone’s display and its case.

One silicone suction cup is also not enough. If you stick to heavily damaged glass, a vacuum will not form inside under it, and when force is applied, it will come off. If the grip is good, the suction cup will not come off, but another problem arises. The sensor is fixed in the case using double-sided adhesive tape or glue, the tensile strength of which is lower than that of the touchscreen and protective glass. If you overdo it, you can completely tear off the screen module, damaging its cables. Therefore, you need to act thoughtfully and consistently.

How to remove glass from a phone and stick a new one on

Before you remove the broken protective glass from your phone and replace it, you need to prepare and arm yourself with a set of tools and tools.

For this you will need:

• pick, spatula or thin plastic card (preferably 2 pieces);
• silicone suction cup - optional;
• lint-free napkin;
• glass cleaner (preferably alcohol-containing), alcohol, vodka, or alcohol-based perfume (perfume, cologne) - to choose from;
• medical gloves - optional.

Often, new protective glass can be equipped with the necessary accessories.

The dismantling procedure is extremely simple and takes a minute.

• Before removing the protective glass from your phone, you need to wash your hands with soap and dry thoroughly, or simply wear rubber gloves. This is necessary to prevent fingerprints and smudges from appearing on the surface of the screen.
• On broken glass, you should find the most intact corner where there are no chips or other damage (or there is, but in the smallest amount). You need to attach it there with a suction cup, pressing it against the screen.
• The corner to which the suction cup is glued must be pryed with a pick, spatula or suction cup so that the edge of the glass peels off. To do this, you need to simultaneously pull the suction cup slightly towards you. It is important not to overdo it so as not to rip off the screen before there is a gap between it and the glass! If you don’t have a suction cup at hand, you can simply smoothly insert the pick deeper into the resulting gap.
• As the glass peels off, you should deepen the pick/spatula/card. 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 comes off completely. You can grab the edge with your fingers and do the same.

Hello dear forum users. Today I will tell you how to replace a cracked camera glass on a Samsung galaxy s6 in 5 minutes and 130 rubles. Who is interested - please, under the cat...

So, we have a Samsung galaxy s6 mobile phone in which, despite careful handling, the camera glass has cracked and a lot of dust has accumulated through this crack, which has greatly reduced the quality of the resulting images:


And here I thought about what to do... There is a video on YouTube on replacement, but in it the glass is replaced directly with the frame, which requires removing the glued back cover of the phone. This is tedious, there is a risk of damaging this very cover, and after replacement, replace the 2-sided adhesive sticker, which separately from the Chinese is quite expensive.
There is no point in turning to the officials for help, because they will tear off 3 skins. The best mobile phone repair shops for less than 1000 rubles. They refused to take on the work, citing the need to remove the cover.
And then I came across instructions for replacing camera glass on ifixit (https://ru.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+S6+Camera+Lens+Glass+Replacement/43301), and I was interested in the last step:


Those. Separately, the glass itself changes a lot.
An order has been placed. What arrived was a little different from what was needed, but more on that below.
Another problem arose: how to pick it out of the frame, because... The glass is not broken, just cracked. It is impossible to pick it up from the side, and breaking it is also not an option, because... there is a risk of damaging the camera, and the stabilization system won’t say “thank you.” And then it dawned on me:


Yes, yes, this is the same “car 2-sided tape”, expensive and very sticky, that was purchased a long time ago.
We take a fountain pen of a suitable diameter and glue the tape to the end, having previously degreased it with alcohol (99% isopropanol). Cut the tape along the contour:


Next, we glue this structure to the glass, which we also degrease:


Next, tilt the handle and peel off the old glass:


This is what the seller sent me:


As you can see, in addition to the glass, there is also a frame itself on which stickers are glued. But the round sticker I needed was not available separately. Of course, it was possible to get confused and cut it out of thin 2-sided tape, but I figured that the remaining adhesive layer on the old frame would be enough to hold the new glass.
Next, use a soft brush to remove all the dust from the camera (a can of compressed air would be very useful), glue on the new glass, and just to be sure, heat everything up with a hairdryer to make it stick better.


I was very pleased with the result! The glass does not feel plastic to the touch; it also has an oleophobic coating. The pictures are simply superb: the haze, glare, etc. are gone, which, however, is not surprising.
We also ordered protective glass for the camera and heart rate sensor from another seller:


I stuck it on the pulse oximeter right away, because... It is plastic and has minor scratches. I might stick it on the camera glass in the future, so far so good.

I hope the review was helpful. Merry Christmas everyone!
