Couldn't be happier. Bought a kit with frame and tools. I kept the video going on my tablet went step by step and Viola. It would have been $100 to have it repaired. I did it $22 with your help. The best gun is a must though. I can't thank you enough.
I should point out for those who experienced speaker distortion after replacing the screen. Located inside the speaker enclosed thing the speaker itself have a very thin like "cushion" thing which holds the speaker in place very tight and avoid vibrate against the plastic cover there. Seems like this little pice gets lost easily since a lot ppl has reported speaker/buzzer distortion after replacing screen. To fix this issue cut a very thin piece of toilet paper or similar(make sure not too thick) place it under the speaker and on top of it , (sandwich the speaker between toilet paper)then close the entire thing with the screws. I had this issue for over a year couldn't troubleshoot it until someone in reddit point it out that nobody in any tutorial had mentioned this. Good luck
thank you. I replaced my screen successfully. I bought the LCD touch screen without the frame but with a little help from other videos, I managed to figure it out how the frame and the screen are attached. It wasn't difficulty replacing the frame
Thank you for sharing this tutorial! I've never replaced a screen before or done any phone repairs by myself, but this tutorial was so straightforward and explained everything so well that I was able to get it done relatively easily. I'm glad I could save money on repair costs and also don't have to replace my phone entirely. I definitely appreciate your help!
Warning - He is not using a new frame. He is just putting back the old one. There are parts on this old frame which do not come with a new one. seals and pad by the speaker.
What does it matter? He's just showing you the process. This guys videos are informative and have helped me out on several builds as I'm learning myself
Thanks for your video, I just changed the screen of my Samsung Galaxy A12 and like the other viewer 3 months ago I didn't have to unhook the one thing on the top left, the new screen came with it already. Without your video I would even not tried to do it. Regards, Philippe From Belgium.

Good day bro i have a F127g with a broken screen I can't find a screen online for that model do u have any idea if the a125 or the a127 screen can work on the F127
Great instructions! Thank you. I got my wife's phone screen replaced, and it looks great, but the sticky tape on the speaker never fully stuck to the new frame, so it sounds terrible (like an AM radio inside a cardboard box) when playing audio, so she won't use it. Any tips on getting the speaker to stick to the new frame so it sounds good again?
@@DIYGeardo Hey, thanks for your response. And the temperature I should aim for. But how powerful is the heat gun you use yourself? I have one that is 2,000W. Is that OK, or will it just melt my phone?
My heatgun only had two settings: hot and f***ing hot, so I bought a new one with 45°-650°C range. The battery took quite a while to get out - probably wary of using too much heat, so guess I used not enough - and it got a little squished at the bottom edge. But all in all I got the screen replaced in little over an hour. Overall then it probably cost me about as much as taking it to a shop, BUT now I've learnt new stuff and am set up for tackling these jobs in future and for friends too! Cheers for the help! 👍
Hi there I followed your instructions and the screen works. However there is a echo/muffle sound coming from my speaker. Any advice or help to resolve this issue? Please advise
6 months late, but this is some advice from another commenter. Not my words, but here's what they said: "I should point out for those who experienced speaker distortion after replacing the screen Located inside the speaker enclosed thing the speaker itself have a very thin like "cushion" thing which holds the speaker in place very tight and avoid vibrate against the plastic cover there Seems like this little pice gets lost easily since a lot ppl has reported speaker/buzzer distortion after replacing screen.

Hi Gerardo, thanks for the video. I managed to replace my phone screen using your video. One question, I felt battery is bit softer at one end while removing it , it’s not hard . Not sure why it’s not hard. Any idea ? Is it safe to use? Thanks
It sounds like the same thing happened to your battery that happened to mine. My battery got a bit warped/soft at the end after applying heat and prying it out. I gently pressed it into the new screen/frame and carefully reshaped the end, and after reassembling everything, it seems to be working alright so far. Hopefully yours works out okay too.
Great tutorial. However, taking out the battery was harder than on the clip. Battery slightly bent while removing, and stayed a little bent. Also, battery cover is a little creased, stretched where there was glue. Is it safe to install that battery in new frame? Thank you.
punctured my battery while doing this, its a small hole on the bottom side of it, it let out a little white smoke but nothing more, i wont use it like this but do u think taping it with black ductape would fix it?
Hello. I have removed the touchscreen samsung galaxy a127f from the screen but I have no device to press the touch scareen. Do you have an idea or method on how to make it at home? By the way, the display works very well. Thanks in advance
Hi, how can one know the right replacement LCD for each phone, for instance, I ordered for Samsung Galaxy A12 LCD sometime ago, I've completed the removing and fitting the new LCD and about to clip the cable before I realised the mouth of the clips are difference from the one I removed from the phone.
Does anyone have any recommendations/suggestions on how to properly seal the phone back up with the adhesive seal that was broken through with the card pry tool/picker and where the proper adhesive seal can be purchased? (After successfully replacing the screen on my Galaxy A12 months ago, water has been easily able to get into the phone slowly causing my screen to slowly go out until it finally went out completely). Timely feedback will be highly appreciated!
@@DIYGeardo The Model number of my phone is SM-A125U1/DS. Do you know if it is worth looking for the screen I mentioned above on the website link you posted?

This job is way easier by replacing the screen only. I just completed the entire repair with a new screen in less than 10 minutes without a new frame. I never removed the board or battery or any cables.
Thx for the video, and sry for the stupid question. I have samsung a12 (bought it january 2021, no fingerprint sensor) and the screen is broken, only the glass, otherwise it is ok. Can I just but a new glass or do they usually sell the screen&glass as a packet deal? Also, if I have to open my phone, I was thinking that maybe I better to change the battery at the same time, I've been using this since january2021, and usually li-po batteries start dying around 18 months if I charge it every day.
Thanks for watching. it is quite hard to replace just the screen glass. You have to go with LCD & Touch assembly unit. You have two options, go for a genuine screen or aftermarket. Since the phone is quite old, the choice is with you. Yeah, you can replace the battery on the same time. Try to get with the frame.The repair will be easier.
I want to know if after this process you can still use the same screen or you need to replace it with a new screen,asking because I don't have a crack screen but just seeing some lines on the phone
Lines issues can be with the screen it self or software issue or sometimes can be mainboard issue. First you can try a software reset, then go for a new screen.
Does anyone know how powerful his heat gun is and if a 1500 Watt Dual Temperature heat gun (1112 deg. F High & 512 deg. F Low) will work or if it is to strong (Please reply ASAP)?
I followed the tutorial step by step, just now gone to call somebody and now my sim card doesn't work, its saying not registered on a network. This card was fine before the screen change. What's happened?
You need to open the back cover; You do not need to take out the logic board. But you need to take out the bottom speaker cover. Then disconnect the lcd plug from the charging port board and the Other lcd plug from the mainboard (long cable). Then you need to apply heat to the screen from the front side to take out the lcd screen. We have some lcd only screen repairs (galaxy a51) for reference. Take out the screen and place the new screen with adhesive. Just make sure to clean the frame edges and apply suitable adhesive (b7000/or precut screen adhesive, do not use any super glue)
Actually my phone is working fine - OK its touch and display too but the front screen is cracked and broken so may i know the prize for its replacement - You mean the display is working but the front glass is broken?
My screen recently got a bunch of vertical lines that glow and move around, specially with a black background. So im thinking of replacing the screen myself, o mean.... im hoping its a screen problem and not something else. Buying a new CHEAP phone like this one costs about $180 so I'll end up doing whatever is cheaper, the new phone or replacing the screen.
Personally I think applying heat to the wrong side of the battery isn't really a very good idea😂 the better option would be to use something like a hot plate that is only just hot enough to touch or ideally a 3D printing heat bed Set to about 55 degrees Celsius
Applying heat from above is fine as long as your battery is not swollen. Using liquid is good, isopropyl alcohol, but make sure it is not going everywhere. If it goes to the screen, the screen might damage.heat little and use a pry tool to remove the battery
OK so I have to tear the whole phone to pieces without breaking anything and I have to remember how to put it back together AND I need a heat gun! This is bullshit. I remember my older cheaper phone never got a broken screen cause the back would just pop off. This says a lot about how mobile companies expect us to keep buying new phones.
@@DIYGeardo hey sorry about that. I'm just a salty poor guy that's used to older tech. I think I can manage this and afford the thing. I just don't like the new way they design these phones. 😔
@@DIYGeardo your English is pretty perfect friend. I hope you take the negative feedback very lightly, you are very intelligent and helpful. Unfortunately there will always be someone who needs to be mean to make themselves feel better
