    • If your LCD and everything else works fine and your phone look like this picture, you can change the glass

  2. svI2XsMQWyxAfT2P

    • not all the heatgun are the same, get on with variable temperature

  3. oLZfYKEjWMtILFfV

    • in ebay you can get one for 10$

  4. EyesyRIO5uZrIlvB

    • not all the glues are the same. Get XFACTOR or Octopus brand are good.

    • if you get something like you see in the picture make sure the caps are green and not blue, Those chinese brands sometimes can be crappy, the red tube with blue caps is the crappiest

    • most of the replacement on ebay are fine, make sure it has the brand on it. There are some they are blank.

  6. OEmKtFj5hAXCJWgO

    • you can follow the video i made here.

    • just start moving the heatgun shooting heat all over the glass quickly and dont let it be over 100 degrees celsius or you will damage the LCD and it will turn gold, if that happen you will have to change the whole LCD module

  9. AKMfCcbpM5iPL5RR

    • a peak of 105 degrees is fine but keep it moving fast the gun so the heat will spread even in the whole LCD
