This works just as she says. I changed the battery in my phone today. Abit hard to get the back cover off, but once you get in, everything else goes smoothly. Just take your time, do not rush and you'll be fine.

This video convinced me that I'm not going to replace my screen and will either pay someone to do it or live with it!

Those of you who mention that it doesn't matter if you damage the screen while removing it, since you'd only remove it if it was broken already: NOT TRUE. On the S7, you need to remove the screen in order to replace the charge/USB flex assembly, since the home & back buttons wrap around through the center frame and under the screen. Only way to get that assembly out is to remove the screen too, which might be fine so you do NOT want to be damaging the screen.

Took me 3 hours but I made it. Works like a charm again :D Thx

You did a great video, but you did not finished it. Why did you not actually replace the display, that would have been great?????

thats a great vid!! does the home button stay on the mid frame after the screen is removed? is the home button replaceable? if the other components to the left and right of the home button are damaged too, can they be replaced? can the whol lower portion be replaced? thanks. also, if the back cover needs to be replaced, can a cover without glass be used? if one is made... ( p. s. youre hot!! ) thanks oh, if the home button is replaced, will the finger print feature work too? thanks : - ) can the on-board ROM be increased by chip desoldering and unused contacts resoldered when re-installing? thanks

I have a white vertical line on my screen. Would changing the glass display fix it?

is there a way of knowing if you got original or some replacement type LCD on your galaxy s7? since my service the screen looks (feels) not so precise..

Good to heating only corners (sides?), and a little bit a center?

Beautiful job 👏

if the screen is broken can you just break thru is and just replace it seems alot easier. or it's the screw on also attach to the screen itself?

how would this be different for the edge?

i would get the screen and frame assembly combo, that way all you transfer are the motherboard and some minor components like camera etc if needed.

Good job , thanks so much

great video,my s7 edge fell off everything was normal but it appears to be a pink line running vertical on the right side of the screen,it disappears by applying a little pressure on the Samsung logo above the screen but unfortunately comes,is there a possible fix without having to replace the whole display assembly??

I like your method best by removing the battery and motherboard first, then starting the screen release from behind as opposed to edge first.

Also try using rubbing alcohol with a small applicator bottle with a fine point plus a pick(I use plastic/waterproof playing cards instead) instead of the heat gun. Less chance to damage components and it's faster once you get the hang of it. Sometimes a little will get into the camera lens but then you just blow it out

Really nice and detailed video but where is the replacement part?? How am I supposed to put the new screen back and what adhesive am I gonna use and where can I get it all?

First off, I like the quality of this video. Very good sound, you can hear the technician loud and clear, the background music is not an obstruction and they do zoom in on the important parts so, kudos on that iFixit but.... I am a PC technician myself and this videos is: 1) About removing (not replacing) the screen. While one can revert the steps, the title should reflect the content. 2) About removing an UNCRACKED screen... Hmmm... just as a heads up, it gets A LOT MESSIER when prying cracked glass... She even says it: "Not to perform unless it is broken..." And the phone looks SPARKLING new... doubt that LCD had any issues... 3) Way OVER SIMPLIFIED! The purpose of a video is also to teach the struggle! 4) If she did crack the screen, why not to show it? I believe mistakes teach a lot. Humility is in order iFixit. We all do it and own it... 5) GREED: The answer to 99% of your questions about materials or wanting the users to user Samsung techs only... Greed destroys everything. No wonder is a capital sin so we monkeys don't go and screw up ourselves in the end! LOL! 6) Anybody has a good suggestion of a video to replace JUST the digitizer? Or should I just forget it? 7) How many of the viewers here with a 100% success rate are paid by iFixit? :D

You didn't say about the touch screen part between the front and the actual display. I cracked the touch screen when pushing the front screen from the back. The touch screen is still attached while the actual glass display is off now. I don't know what to do next, whether to just put the new one on or what. Darn it...

Just dropped my Galaxy S7 yesterday by accident while trying to sing and read the lyrics and now has a crack on the front right bottom part of the phone. Is it worth replacing the phone by getting a new phone it self, or is it better to just have the screen replaced on the phone.

Is this just for the screen only ?

Thank you.

Reuse the adhesive if it wasn't badly torn and damaged. Heat it up a bit and use a cloth to rub along the edges to seat it. Or remove all of the old adhesive and use something like Tesa tape. Probably 4mm for this.

It would be both impractical and unlikely. For you to separate the display panel from the glass you'd need equipment like a nitrogen freezer. Then to adhere new glass.. a laminator to set the OCA and an autoclave to aid in removing bubbles. Definitely not a DIY job. If you somehow get crazy lucky with heat and playing cards.. you'd have to not remove the display from the midframe and then your only choice is UV glue which I just can't recommend.

can one use a hair dryer instead of heat gun?

Please change the subject with this " how to remove screen for galaxy s7 edge?"....

odd question, maybe somebody here can help?? I still use my s7 but the screen is coming off the phone. it works, and is not cracked but it's like the adhesive is letting go. the front glass sticks out past my protective case now so I'm sure it's a matter of time before I break it. Any easy way to kinda re-glue it?

And how do I reassemble it? It just sticks together with adhesive that I guess gets all removed when I tear it down
