How to Replace Screen Glass Only on Galaxy S8 S9 Plus Shown in 5 Mins/New Method 

Doesn't help with a burned in oled screen...

Can i use a plastic cake knife to remove the broken front glass, what type of plastic are you using? And Can i try without hot air gun

@@afgamer5576 i would use a hair blow dryer

@Micarsim oca maybe

@@afgamer5576 So sorry, just today I realized I don't get notifications on replies, only comments. I would not recommend plastic cake knife to remove the front glass. It is too thick. While technically possible without hot air gun, it is painfully slow and it also increases risk of display damage as you require more force than necessary. I would not recommend it. The plastic tool called 'spudger' seen being used in this video is actually meant for disconnecting flex cables in the phone. I find it comes in handy for scraping the old glue also, but that's about it. Any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Best regards,

Is it risky if i too much glue is applied? I didn't understand that part

@@real4everh do you mean once you've removed the old glass and you apply "too much" glue for new glass? I haven't any issues with, I've wiped away excess glue with no issues

@@mtb661NBC is separating the glass scratches or causes minor burning to the amoled panel? Thanks

@@real4everh Hello, since this has not been answered, we will answer it for you. You might get scratches especially if you are not gentle with the process but scratches, even fine scratches all get filled by the LOCA. They will not be visible even upon close inspection. Minor burning may be caused if you overheat the display which is covered in the video, but more in-depth in the 20 minute video available on our channel. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards,

The hot plates are alot harder to work with than youtube illustrates.

Thank you so much for your comment! The only thing I want to note for the others is that, the hot plate is not the most efficient way to heat up the glass for this particular method. This is because is when you set it to a set temperature, it's simply heating the heating pad to that set temperature. It takes a long time for the display on it to be brought up to that temperature. This is opposed to a heat gun or even a hair dryer where the heat coming off the tool is higher. When you use a wire tool, the display stays on the heat pad the whole time so this loss of heat/heating cycle is not an issue. I tried to use the tool with the display on the heating pad, but it is not practical at all because the tool/hands need to be so close to the heat pad. This is mentioned in this video but what I noticed is that in room temperature, the display cools down within 10~20 seconds depending on the amount of heat that was applied, so heat needs to be applied every 10/20 seconds. It takes at least a minute or two for a display that's been cooled down to reach the temperature set on the heating pad. I'd recommend a heat-gun. It can apply heat in the area where you are working, and it only takes about 5 seconds for it to get the area hot enough. However, I suppose the flip-side is that using a heat pad will take out the guess work/getting isopropyl alcohol to the bubbling point but for those who are looking to spend extra money in hopes of making this repair easier, I'd have to say the laser temperature gauge before the heat pad. Thank you for sharing your experience!

@@ecdiy well the problem I was having with the hot plate was it was either not getting hot enough or something. I couldnt get the string to go through the glass it would always slip under the phone into the vacuum. I worry I wont ever get this method to work so I'm considering amazon returning it

Hi please tell me where dd uou oder it..

@@pridemamba6018 links are in the video detail

Thank you so much for your kind compliment and thank you for the follow! I will do my absolute best to upload fresh content.

@@ecdiy thank you for this video! This encourages me to attempt this repair on my own.

Thank you taking your time to comment and sharing your insight! It is greatly appreciated. "liquid barrier" tape is indeed something we explored but the result wasn't as good as it was with the previous generation that we could make a much wider 'barrier' for. If you go on our eBay store you'd actually see that for previous phones, we did just that. It did still help a little bit, but we feared that it may give our customers a false sense of security. While debating/probing opinions from customers regarding this issue we found that there may be a way to work with a pad-based adhesive for this process so at the moment we are focusing on that. Any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further.

The newer iPhones are (surprisingly) much much easier than the Samsung curved screens. With iOS 16 & up displaying error messages when you replace the display as a whole, glass only repairs are valued much higher for iPhones as well in terms of profit for flipping. If Samsung curved screens are a 9/10 on the difficulty scale, I'd say iPhone 12~14 are 3/10, flat display Samsung and Pixel phones are a 5/10. What makes it difficult is mainly due to how fragile the display is. Really taking your time/going slow while ensuring enough heat is there is very important. Newer iPhones and Pixel phones are quite forgiving to mistakes but Samsung curved screens are not. Any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Best regards,

Yeah I just fucked up my phone taking the whole screen

@@weshfous2882 yeah same, i should have just taken my time, lol

Not a problem at all! Indeed, applying alcohol regularly during the glass removal process will also weaken the adhesive so that it is easier to clean after the glass removal. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Hello Ivy, Thank you for sharing your experience. From what we gather, inserting the tool too deep seems to be the most frequently occurring error. As demonstrated in our video, you need to curl the tip and position the tool so that it is gliding just underneath the surface of the glass and you'd need to be able to see the tool as if you are looking at it behind a clear piece of glass. (Please see bit.ly/OCABladeCaution, we have also linked this image in the description section of the video before linking our store). This also means that the tool needs to be 'leaned back' so the tip touches the underside of the front glass using the frame's lip as a fulcrum almost. This and applying enough heat to make the repair smoother are probably the 2 most important things with this method. Thank you again for sharing. If you/any viewer has any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Best regards,

Did you manage it?

🤔

Hello, Thank you for your comment! Please kindly note that we do not sell on Amazon. I have taken a quick look through Amazon and I was not able to find any kit that offers a similar solution. Our tool is still patent pending and I'm not sure if I saw a kit on there that offers a daylight cure UV glue either. I am unable to speak for the kits on Amazon, but with ours, you'd just need a hair dryer or a heat gun as well as isopropyl alcohol for cleaning. Any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Have a great rest of the day.

13 hours for the removal of the old glass? Thats a lot of time dude

@@MRbubblegunner from breaking to removing and reinstallation

Thank you for taking your time to share your experience! Going slow does reduce risk but 13 hours is definitely longer than what we would want our customers to spend doing the repair by far. I'm glad to hear you have succeeded but would you by any chance be willing to comment further on your experience? Were you using isopropyl alcohol to lubricate the tool/soften the adhesive. Were you working with a heat gun or a hair dryer? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Best regards,

If you could also let us know which part of the repair took the longest/what you found the most difficult, that would be greatly appreciated as well.

@@ecdiy The process of removing the old glass took time because glue was stubborn and wouldn't get soft even though I used hair blower for 3 to 5 minutes eachtime. I guess the problem was with my screen. The phone I repaired was purchased as used so I think the seller had changed the screen before he sold it to me. The glue that person used was very stubborn. I will be changing my other phone's screen very soon and may make a video of it/share on youtube. Ofcoarse credit goes to you guys because I learnt it from you

Hello Tora, Not a problem at all! I'm not sure if you are referring to the kit we sell, or if you are getting just the glue somewhere else but if you have any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Also, in case you are referring to our kit, please take a look at the diagram (Bit.ly/OCABladeCaution) demonstrating the point I mentioned just before inserting the tool in the video (I do mention it is "very important" but people have made this mistake. linking below where I mention this). The tip of the tool needs to be curled up, and the tool needs to be 'leaned back' so that the tip is touching the underside of the glass. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-67TvQWQs-48.html Please also kindly note that the diagram is also linked in both the videos description before linking our store. Most important thing though is to apply heat regularly and go slow. Best regards,

@@ecdiy Will, it was a major failure, not only did I fail to use enough heat (had no clue what I was doing) but I ended up completely messing up the LCD panel. Word to all the would-be DIY'ers out there: use an old cellphone to practise on. As for me I still have my Note10+ so the note8 while is a loss as a handheld spare mobile; I now have it working in my bedroom as a dedicated DeX media machine. So not a total loss at least.

It's nothing to be ashamed of. I can definitely relate. I first got into this whole repair thing by learning off RU-vid videos without any prior training. What pushed me over the edge was cracking the screen that I had paid so much money to have repaired professionally shortly (2 days) after the repair. I was determined to learn how to do it myself then.

bruh, go to the nearest sport shop and buy sum balls. not hard, recommended

You are lucky because I have balls and lost a lot of money. I broke the screen...

How long does the shipping take

Hello Jeremy, Thank you for taking your time to comment and sharing your experience! It is indeed not an easy repair. We do mention this multiple times in the video as well but it never hurts to re-iterate. We made a temperature sensitive sticker that changes color to help our diyers keep the phone within the ideal temperature range which is what we found to be the biggest pain point for this repair for those working without a laser temperature gauge. Soon the current method of needing to keep an eye on isopropyl alcohol bubbling will be no more!). As for the LOCA on the front camera & speaker, this can sometimes happen if the tape isn't pressed well to the surface. This is something we're starting to include in new video/on a slip in a new kit but we also found that it's best to spread about 90% of the way on its own without you applying any pressure. You can apply heat to help it spread on its own. You can also tilt the phone to help it spread more evenly. It can take some time, (3~5 minutes) but it can and will spread on its own. The last 10% of the way should require very little pressure if any, and once the glue has reached the edge of the screen, you'd want to expose it to daylight to cure it. As for the the wave/ripple effect is caused by a combination of a couple of things: One is pressure during the cleaning process. This wave is experienced by even people doing the repair with OCA films without the method shown (using OCA blade and LOCA). While many believe it to be the OCA film's fault, the waves and the pockets mentioned are created when you also apply too much pressure during the cleaning process. This comes up most often as an impression of the battery area being visible. The second is too much pressure during the LOCA process. The reason we mention to let the LOCA spread on its own as much as possible before 'stretching' it out is due to this reason. It should be about 80% filled on its own. It will spread on its own with just the weight of the glass and you can use a hair dryer/heat gun to speed up the process as the heat helps lower the viscosity. Pressing to start the spreading from the get go can indeed create 'pockets' especially one around the battery where the metal frame isn't supporting the display Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Have a great rest of the day.

@Maphazar how did it go?

@@Nibelhein wreaked my phone, ended up buying a new screen at £170. So I can't say good things. Also it cost me a lot more than advertised as you will get charged for customs. Plus the refund thing doesn't exist either, they said they would but never did. Sorry I can't say what you'd love to hear but I'm pretty good at this kinda thing but the design of the blade isn't great, it needs to be soft tapered imo as it scrapes the LEDs and causes tones of dead pixels.

@@maphazar7549 thanks for sharing your experience, I was a bit concerned of trying and after hearing you, yeah, not sure it is worth the stress

That is indeed one of the things to watch out for during the repair. We've been experimenting with using wire tool along with the OCA blade because one of the shops we sell parts to regularly told us about it, and it seems to work quite well. If you do this, you can reduce the risk of the glass going in the face dramatically also. Using the wire tool alone, you'd have to take the phone apart and it'd constantly catch an edge of a broken glass so you would also use the OCA blade whenever the wire catches an edge, (use the OCA blade to create a 'bridge'/'transition' so the wire can overcome the edge it is catching). Using the combination will also dramatically increase the longevity of the tool as well. We do have the wire tool and if you are interested or if you just have any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Best regards,

Hello Nico, I can definitely relate. I don't think it's abnormal but please don't take it as me trying to persuade you. While we are a business, we are happy with the way things are and we are just here to provide the means for cheaper repair for those who are willing. Having that nervousness can both work in your favor as well as work against you. Being scared will help you be more careful, but at the same time being too scared can cause it to be too stressful/frustrating which can lead to mistakes. This repair is definitely best left for when you feel up for it, you are calm and have the time. It can be very rewarding when you are done but at the same time, as previously noted it can also be frustrating.

Hello Lawrence, Thank you for your compliment! (I do see that you had this comment on the other video as well which we responded. Below is a copy of the response we had provided. Just putting it here for the others viewing this video) While I can confirm that OnePlus 7 Pro is made with the same specs when it comes to the adhesive used to bond the front glass and the display, I have not personally worked on it. Although the process requires precision for all devices, the concept for the glass removal process is universal: Our OCA Blade tool is the same thickness as the wire tool, which you see many professionals on RU-vid using to do the glass separation. As long as the tool is touching the underside of the front glass as it is being inserted into the display area, and heat is applied to soften the OCA layer, you will be able to remove the front glass. By disassembling the phone and working with the bare display away from the phone, you can eliminate worrying about where the ideal insertion point would be on your phone specifically. Please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further if you have any further questions/concerns. Best regards,

Thank you for taking your time to comment and thank you very much for your compliment. Freezing is definitely faster if you know what you are doing but there are a few things to consider: The phone needs to be taken apart and the battery removed. Most lithium-ion battery electrolytes freeze at approximately −40 °C/-40F, dry ice has a surface temperature of -78.5'C/-109.3 F freezing lithium ion battery can cause permanent damage to its cells. As for heating, manufacturers have done different things over the years to better protect their batteries so it's difficult to pin-point the exact temperature but generally speaking for lithium ion batteries, "Run away thermal event" which is basically the point of no return caused by heat causing the material to expand/shrink and short circuit the anode and cathode creating a dangerous situation needs 140'C/284'F. Again, this may be higher for cell phone batteries, especially since the disaster with Note 7. We discuss this in our full length video which should be up soon but to give you an idea of temperature involving phones/glass removal: As seen in this video, the removal can be done at a lower temperature with little heat but the best/the most efficient temperature for glass removal ranges between 70'C-85'C (158'F-185) which is when OCA liquifies. ***The paragraph below is for reference/information only. You assume the consequences of any damage/harm done as a result of applying the information below *** 70'C (158'F) is the upper limit for our skin, this is when it becomes too hot to touch - of course, you can still touch it, but this is the 'ouch' point where your body is telling you that you are going to start to suffer burns if you try to hold something of this temperature or hotter. 82.5'C(180'F) is the boiling point of isopropyl alcohol, again something we discuss in the longer video but basically when you are working without a temperature gauge, and you want to be at the ideal temperature for glass removal, one way is to use Q-tip to get isopropyl alcohol between the glass and the AMOLED as shown in the video. You can apply heat until you see the alcohol bubble and you know you are in the sweet spot. Isopropyl alcohol has auto-ignition temperature of roughly 5X the temperature 399'C(750'F). ***The paragraph above is for reference/information only. You assume the consequences of any damage/harm done as a result of applying the information above *** Sorry to bore you with a wall of text! All of this information will be included in the longer video if you prefer visual/audio.

Hello Miguel, Thank you for taking your time to comment. I am very sorry to hear the repair did not go as smoothly as we have hoped. Tool bending is a sign of there not being heat but it should not have caused damage to the display. Perhaps what happened was a glass got pried off without the adhesive being fully removed/sliced? (Discussed in our in-depth video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-67TvQWQs-48.html at 5:21) I can definitely empathize with your disappointment either way.

I definitely remember reading your comment and I thought I had replied but going over the comments section now, I realize I did not. I apologize. As for using a UV light, it would not cause damage to use it to cure it. The strongest UV light we have here actually tacks it in seconds and fully cures it in less than a minute. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Have a great rest of the day.

How well does this work and is it a better option?

Thank you for your kind words! Digitizer actually refers to the part between the front glass and the AMOLED. Its function is detecting where the touch occurs and this video shows replacement of the front glass only. Front glasses are readily available for most phones and our kits for specific phones do include the front glass. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Best regards,

Hello Jose, thank you for taking your time to contact us. Yes you sure can. Those phones are actually high on the priority list for us to put up the videos for. It's just been a bit crazy the past little bit with my wedding on the 10th but I shall return to plugging away soon! If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Have a great rest of the day.

Thank you so much for the help, is the tool reusable or is it just fit a one time use?

@@JoseRodriguez-kp8wr Hello Jose, not a problem at all. It is the least we can do. The tool is definitely good for use on multiple repairs. However, how long it'd last ultimately depends on how hard you are on the tool. If you grab the tool close to the phone/glass being removed and apply enough heat each time as shown the tool would last much longer. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. We are here to help. Have a great rest of the day.

Thank you again so so much, this tool will help me a lot! I appreciate the time of day you took to reply so quickly 🙏

How did you pay $300 for your phone?

@@cherrellbovain9138 Most modern phones cost around $300 to $1000, so $300 actually isn't that obserd of an amount to pay for a smartphone.

Thank you for your comment! It is greatly appreciated. We will be sure to mention the 2 hour time frame in our full length video. As for the damage to the screen or flex cable and selfie camera, we will be going over everything that can go wrong during the repair in our in-depth video which we aim to finish today. We recently decided to make the full length video not only a how-to but how not to. Over the course of our business, and constantly exploring new possibilities, we experienced a lot of failures. Each session was recorded and by going over each clip close-up, we were able to identify exactly what caused the failure each time and discovered ways to prevent it. We are very excited to share this knowledge with the world because it isn't something we were able to find online. One of the things we didn't get to mention in this video is the optional step of taking the back glass off to remove the front camera as a preventative measure (we actually started including the back glass tape with all of our kits so people can do this). The interesting thing we learned though, is that a) you can remove the IR + proximity sensor as well as the front camera without having to remove the motherboard (there is enough room once you lift the motherboard on one side without disconnecting it from the rest of the phone) and b) we experimented by pouring all 3mL LOCA around the edges of the phone (not in the middle) and leaving it un-cured for 48 hours to have it seep in to the back, to know that curved displays unlike flat displays are not affected/get shorted by LOCA seeping to the back. In the end though, we understand that many people would rather swap the display as a whole. However we also believe in the DIY aspect of this repair which can be quite rewarding not only due to the cost saving aspect and learning new things but also in reducing electronic waste. Of course, this isn't to say there isn't a risk of something going wrong. As with any DIY project whether it be a car repair or home renovation, there is a risk vs benefit that should be weighed. If you follow our guide closely however, the risk is minimal. In fact, I know this may come across very arrogant but I am confident that if every step is followed exactly, the repair will be a success.

ECDiy when do you think you would have the the full video tutorial ready. I’m really keen to get this project started.

@@CyrilRodriguez Hello Cyril. Thank you for checking in with us. It's being uploaded now as we speak. It's currently at 9%. When it's done, it will be available at: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-67TvQWQs-48.html It started at 8:20pm(et), I was very excited and relieved. When I was done I had posted an update in the description section of the 5 minute video also. Please take a look and please feel free to let us know of your thoughts! Thank you and everyone for waiting so patiently.

Glass is strictly a cosmetic & protective layer for the electronic layers underneath (digitizer and the AMOLED). Issues you describe are due to a physical damage to the digitizer which forms a layer between the front glass and the AMOLED, the function of the digitizer is detecting where touch occurs. Digitizer alone is not serviceable on S9 and if you would like to fix the touch issue, you unfortunately have to replace the display panel as a whole. As for indications for the display itself being damaged, there are several but they all yield a visual defect (pink line/ green line/grey blob/black blob... etc). Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Best regards,

Thank you for the advice, you've saved me trying to fix the issue with the wrong solution, much appreciated!

@@billymccarthy2586 Not a problem at all Billy. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us! Have a great day.

There is

As for the glass removal, the method works for S10e, but when it comes to gluing, you'd have to take the phone apart because of the location of the camera being within the screen area, at least for now until we finish our pad based adhesive installation tool & method.

Thank you for your comment! I apologize for the delay. I have tried this, and honestly it's a no. LOCA process is the best done with gravity (without clips even). We'll feature this technique in the new video. It takes a bit longer, but through experimenting and talking to our customers, we found that letting the glue spread on its own under the weight of the glass only achieves the most consistent result that's easy to accomplish as a novice. If you would like to know the specifics of the method, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Have a great rest of the day!

Not a problem at all. Thank you for your kind words. I do want to remind you though, as mentioned multiple times in the video, that the repair is more difficult than it appears in the video. I really hope it doesn't come across as though I'm underestimating you as I simply do not know you but pretty much everything looks more doable in videos whether it be furniture making/car repair/home repair etc etc... and we do get messages from customers whose repairs don't go as smoothly as we've hoped. You have probably considered all of the above but just wanted to leave this reply for others to see as well. Any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Have a great rest of the day.

exactly I need to know

Hello, not at the moment. However, I'd approach the repair the same way. Our kits for A50,70 and 80 come with custom made IP68 tape adhesive that is put around the camera before the gluing application to better prevent the glue from getting on there. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further. Best regards,

Hello Kevin, thank you for your interest. We have distribution/forwarding set up in the US and in the US, you can send a parcel for as low as $2.60 with tracking thanks to their population density I suppose? Granted, this is in US dollar but compared to Canada Post which averages out to be $14+ (cdn) for the cheapest tracked service (Within major cities in ON & QC it is a little cheaper, $11~13), the difference is something we are unable to absorb. A lot of the lower value items we sell on eBay (under ExpressCellDepot) within Canada do go out with free shipping without tracking. We are indeed exploring this because we find it so unfair for the majority of people who are honest, to have to force the cost of tracking because of rare postal errors and the few that may be dishonest. Arranging a pick-up wouldn't be a problem. Kindly send us an email to discuss the details.

@@benjaminzaoui9683Hello Benjamin, please kindly note that we have listed shipping within Canada as "Tracked Parcel 2~5 business days" and not international shipping. Please let us know if you see otherwise, and kindly refer to our response to Kevin as to why we are unable to offer free shipping within Canada. If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards,

Great news! We decided to try the free shipping option a try within Canada. It really didn't sit right with us charging $9.82 to for everyone in Canada when majority of the customers are honest.
