Hi @ecdiy, I wanted to know if the damage observed in minute 5:12 is a product of having burned the polarizing layer, since if so, it would be solved by changing the polarizing.

@ecdiy

3 ай бұрын

It's difficult to confirm without peeling the polarizer layer off but the damage shown here is likely the actual OLED. If you are careful, it isn't too difficult to do the glass removal without overheating the display. Just remember to take your time, expect to take 2 hours for the process vs 1 (I've done this a few times), as I mentioned in the video. If you have a helper that can hold a hair dryer/heat gun to maintain temperature, it can be quite helpful too as that's almost as good as having a heated suction pad machine.

Would you by any chance be willing to share where it went wrong? I recently had novices try out this repair on site to see if there would be any common errors; #1 was not keeping the wire tight and low as it enters each corner. It needs to be low so that it is touching the glass layer as it slices into the glue layer as mentioned in the video @4:20 #2 was not cleaning the screen to be squeaky clean, thereby the transfer of the oil/smudge/dirt on the screen making the gel pad less sticky (can be cleaned to restore) Pretty much in line with some of the customers who had contacted us after an unsuccessful repair. For #1, even after I had advised them of this, it seemed by the time they got around to the other side, they needed to be reminded. Also, we're getting stronger and larger gel pads made to allow for more room for error when it comes to #2. A longer guide with repeated emphasis on this is being prepared as well as a helpful tip in having a helper hold the hairdryer/heat gun as that makes it so much easier so you don't have to switch hands between that and a wire tool but I would love to hear from you. Ultimately, I want everyone to be able to succeed replacing the glass only. I do not benefit in any way shape or form when someone fails. I do not even have other parts to sell when someone fails. There are quite a few repeat customers/customers who order the refills and I would imagine those who decide to get into this don't want others getting into it. Any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us.

Many thanks for the video! Why do videos suggest removing the sensing module before separating the glass? You suggest simply removing the shield / lifting the modules instead of removing them... But I'm curious as to why we cannot proceed to separate the glass without removing / detaching the front modules? Thanks!

@ecdiy

9 ай бұрын

Not a problem at all! The purpose of removing/lifting the module from the display is to keep it clean during the process. The OCA (Optically Clear Adhesive) layer used from the factory does get soft and a bit gummy when heated. As for why others remove it completely, I'm not entirely sure, but it may have something to do with the fact film based adhesive they use requires vacuum as well as positive pressure for the installation. Our method of using liquid adhesive does not involve such. A phone like iPhone 14 Pro though, you don't have to do anything with our method as the sensor is under the display layer. (On iPhone 13 and previous models, there is a physical hole where the sensor goes). Any further questions, please do not hesitate to comment further!

The screens i have available have oca already attached Would it be acceptable to put loca as well then lay the screen down with the oca layer and use uv light? It would be 2 layers of glue But if it seals nicely perhaps it would work? Maybe i could just put a little bit less loca? What are your thoughts?

@ecdiy

10 ай бұрын

Here is my experience with such scenario. Technically, yes OCA can be stacked with LOCA. Even if the OCA were to make contact with the glass somewhere before the LOCA, LOCA will fill up to the area seamlessly. However, you will experience seepage of the glue out the sides because the lip on the bezel is only enough to accommodate for a single layer of OCA/LOCA but you will now have both and your screen will be assembled ever so slightly thicker than the original. (appx 0.08mm). it would also reduce the phone's water resistance. This additional thickness does not cause touch issues even with a tempered glass screen protector.

@ecdiy

7 ай бұрын

Honestly, after having done a few iPhone 14 Pros where the camera hole area is quite literally within the display area, I stopped doing the whole film cut-out thing. The glue is a bit viscous so a lot of times, when you follow the tips shown here (letting the glue spread under the weight of the glass only about 80~90% of the way and only gently pressing to fill the edges), there isn't a whole lot of seepage due to the surface tension. Worst case, it can be easily cleaned with Q-tip and isopropyl alcohol. I wouldn't worry too much about following the film cut-out tip but to answer your question, no when the glue first cures it's almost like a very thin layer of silicone, it doesn't have too much grab although it's strong enough to use without any worries of the glue lifting/giving out under normal use/drop. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further! Thank you for the sub! Have a great rest of the day!

Жыл бұрын

Yes there is, for iPhone X~11, you do need to remove the bezel unlike iPhone 12~14. Removal can be made easier by submerging the display in 99% isopropyl alcohol for 30 minutes to an hour (You can use regular scotch tape to block off the opening of the plastic tray our kit ships in; as shown in our latest shorts video). You do want to be particularly careful removing the bottom part as the display's flex cable is attached to the bottom of the bezel. If the bezel is removed without softening the adhesive and without slicing the adhesive there with the OCA blade first, it can cause the flex cable to tear.

@ecdiy

Great question! On these phones the displays do not have a separate backlight due to them being OLED, so it will not be a problem. Trick to succeeding with the LOCA though, is to let it spread on its own, under the weight of the glass alone as much as you can. If you actually leave it a couple of hours/overnight for example, it will be filled all the way, all by itself. However, you can always let it spread 80~90% of the way which takes about 10 minutes or so with heat applied, and gently press to spread the glue the rest of the way.

Hello, thank you very much for choosing us! For iPhone X~11 Pro MAX, the bezel does need to be removed as noted in the listing.

The information can be found on our latest updates page (bit.ly/expresscelldepot) As a side note, this is also mentioned in the link above but remember to keep the wire tight and pinned low (to the work surface) when entering the corner so that the wire is tight against the glass. This ensures you separate the adhesive layer directly between the front glass and the rest of the display.

@@VFXTIMEZ Hello, thank you for your comment and thank you very much for your purchase! There isn't anything that this video missed but I do want to emphasize 2 things. 1. To ensure the display isn't strained/damaged during the removal process, you'd want the adhesive softened enough to lift with the OCA blade alone as shown in the video with combination of 99% isopropyl alcohol/heat or both. Slice any adhesive should the need be. Lift from the LCD holder bezel & the display together, the phone's metal frame prevents the tool from going too deep when inserted straight in, so you don't have to worry about that. I do want to also note that 99% isopropyl alcohol does not conduct electricity so you can use the phone while you do the "Q-tip trick" but 91/70/60% may conduct electricity even if the other component is 'distilled water' so the device must be turned off until all of the alcohol is completely evaporated) The display opens from the right (Flex cables run along the left side). There are several display replacement videos for iPhone 12 Pro Max you can refer to if you'd like a visual reference as the display removal process is the same whether you are replacing the entire display or the glass only. 2. It is important to keep the wire low. Especially when you approach the top corners, you'd practically want the wire pinned to the work surface. This bezel that run along the edges being thicker than the display makes this an unlikely mistake but the bezel can technically flex and you can split the wrong layer of the display if the wire isn't kept low.

It depends on the glue, for ours I wouldn't say any, but most would work. Most household UV lights are UVA lights, either 395nM, 405nM or 365nM light. nM is stands for nanometer which is the measure of wavelength. They all work fine but 365nM will cure it the fastest. There are also UVB (therapy lamps) and UVC (germicidal lights). I personally haven't experimented with these. The timing for curing is a difficult to confirm though because it depends on the light and we found a lot of these UV flashlights overstate their strength/wattage. Our kits come with its own UV light but if you are trying others; Since there are a lot of variables, what you can do is dispense a droplet or two on a non porous surface like the plastic film the glass comes in, and use that as a test-strip, touching every minute or so under your light to see when it cures. Our glue will feel oily on the surface even when it is cured but it will cure to silicone-like consistency and you will be able to pick up the droplet as a dome shaped dot sticker when cured.

@ecdiy

Жыл бұрын

Hello Michael, Thank you so for taking your time to comment and thank you so much for your support! As for the bezel, it is completely un-necessary to remove. In fact, leaving the bezel on makes the repair easier. The bezel gives the flexible OLED some structure making it easier to handle. Also, as shown in the latest shorts video for iPhone, the lip on the bezel which is there to accommodate for the thickness of the OCA (film layer adhesive used from the factory), allows for our glue to be spread to the exact factory spec without any spillage. This lip being there also means that when the wire is held tight, the wire actually does not even touch the display layer. I think some content creators remove the bezel out of habit, as this had to be done on previous iPhones but on 12 & up, it is not required at all. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Best regards,

​@@michael_jullie2836 Hmmm, that's odd because following the method outlined in our video the wire travel more or less parallel to the glass. With the glass side down, the wire tool will break well before a piece of broken glass can be leveraged enough to poke through the glue layer as well as the polarizer layer. I have not experienced what you described and neither has any of the customers. I have recently had a few novice friends try out the repair also for a future video, and all were able to remove the glass without display damage. Did you turn the display on after the removal from the frame? By softening the adhesive with heat & isopropyl alcohol and lifting the display from under the plastic bezel as shown in the video you can avoid damaging the display, but perhaps the display was flexed too hard when it was being removed from the phone's frame?

With the glue you use is it as easy to remove the glass if it needs another repair later on? Given the uv light makes me think you are using poly or epoxy resin

@ecdiy

3 ай бұрын

It is hydrocarbon based resin which is different than poly(polyester) resin which is created through the reaction of a dicarboxylic acid with a diol. It can be removed more easily than the factory-original adhesive. It can be a bit upsetting to learn this, as you realize the manufacturers didn't have to use as strong an adhesive. Ours remain more flexible too which helps with the impact absorption and dissipation. When you go to remove it, it won't "roll off" like you see in our videos which are all made with original displays, it more or less gets wiped off. This gives me an idea actually, to make a video of me re-doing a screen that was fixed using the kit. Thank you! Any questions, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Best regards,

I just bought one of your kits. But I'm wondering... is there any chance of the phone still being water resistant after this repair? Would happily hear from someone who knows. Reddit is all over the place. Thanks in advance.

@ecdiy

Ай бұрын

Great question! Technically speaking, under proper installation, the phone should still maintain its water resistance. The tape adhesive used to seal it is indeed the original-grade IP68 adhesive. However, the reality is the level of water resistance achieved will depend on the installation. Both the mating surfaces need to be squeaky clean, free of debris, and good amount of pressure is required. (Applying heat helps also) While the factory-specified water resistance, which is 5ft submersion for 30 minutes is possible, it may not be easy for a novice, and the resulting water resistance may be reduced to the point where it can only withstand regular splashes or drops of water (for example, IPX1~IPX5). If you are curious as to what they mean, Googling "IPX ratings", you will find a helpful article written by Audioreputation with specific details for each rating. Ultimately, it's important to note that cracked screens are not water resistant either. So, when it comes to replacing cracked front glass, there isn't anything to lose in terms of water resistance.

@ecdiy

Awesome! OCA stands for Optically Clear Adhesive, it refers to the film based version that is installed with special equipment (laminator/heated vacuum chamber press, and bubble remover/heated positive pressure chamber). Technically, pre-installed OCA can be stacked with LOCA. Even if the OCA were to make contact with the glass somewhere before the LOCA, LOCA will fill up to the area seamlessly. This additional thickness does not cause touch issues even with a tempered glass screen protector. That's been my finding on my end with our glue at least. However, it means the screen may sit higher than it should, off of the bezel frame for iPhones which can cause dust intrusion over time. We have glass without the OCA. If you are in the US/Canada, it would be $9.82 with shipping. Please feel free to contact us! Best regards,

If you have someone that can hold the hair dryer/ heat gun and monitor the temperature so you don't have to switch hands and focus on slicing through the adhesive, and you soften the adhesive holding the display to the frame with isopropyl alcohol so that the removal of the display panel is done smoothly, I'd say less than 2 hours. Otherwise, 2~3 hours. It is important to note every cracked screen is different and some can take longer (i.e wire can get caught on a broken piece of glass in multiple spots, requiring you to re-spool and change the angle) and hair dryer does take longer to heat the screen to the correct temperature than a heat gun to heat up. The phone important thing again is for the wire to be held tight and low as it enters each corner. We still have customers who do not achieve a successful repair because of this one error despite the repeated emphasis and putting on a large sticker with a warning sign on the tool bag guiding them to a page that states this.

Is it better to do this or just replace the whole screen

@ecdiy

9 ай бұрын

It ultimately depends on the individual. If keeping the original retina display and not opting for an inferior aftermarket display which will trigger an "unknown parts" error message is deemed worthwhile, then this should definitely be considered. There are original displays available as well, but even those will trigger "unknown parts" message, It's also not an easy task distinguishing between fake vs real. For Samsung curved phones, I'd say it's a tough question because it is the hardest to replace the glass only on. Pixel curved displays are comparatively easier, and their flat displays are more manageable than that. Then you have iPhones 12-14, for which the process is the simplest. However, I do want to stress that when I say "easiest" I'm referring specifically to the glass-only replacement, which isn't an easy task conventionally. Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hello Anna, Thank you for your comment! Honestly, this is how it happened for me too. When I first started, way back with an S3, I succeeded the first repair but the second time I got a bit too comfortable. I wasn't as careful but I had failed. We have developed a lot of tools as well as techniques since then over the years. Our kits as far as I know are the only kits with step by step guide that comes complete with all the parts. The special tools/accessories shown in this video with the exception of the wire tool are proprietary to us as well as they have been developed in-house. There are cheaper 'kits' indeed that include just the tapes but the repair cannot be made successfully with just the tapes. The quality of the glass can vary greatly also. As for the Ulefone Note 9P, I do not have experience with the device specifically, but it sounds like that it comes with an LCD display and not OLED/AMOLED and you have gone 'too deep' which is something we warn against in the video when we do the initial insertion of the tool. I can confirm though that the method and tools shown in this video would work for the phone, but given the low cost of a replacement LCD for that phone (around $42 USD on eBay vs our kit $30), it may be worth replacing the LCD as a whole As for whether it is worth fixing the spare phone or not, that really depends the value you see in the phone. (Whether you personally find it suitable for your needs or lacking, if there are other problems with it... etc etc) Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us/comment further.

The bezel surrounding the OLED is thicker than the actual display panel. As long as the wire is kept tight and close to the surface, as demonstrated in the video, the display should not have come into contact with the wire and thus should not have been damaged. Also, have you had a chance to check our tips & tricks update page? The address is printed on a 4"X6" slip, which is placed at the very top of the kit's contents. We elaborate further on the opening process there, and following those steps should allow you to open the phone in under 10 minutes. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Feel free to comment here or contact us directly. We're here to assist you. Wishing you the best for the rest of your day!

It's coming! It should be up in the next couple of days. Sorry it's taking so long, I have written down everything I want to relay, and now I'm in the process of paraphrasing so it can be as helpful as possible. If you have any questions/concerns in the meantime please feel free to contact me through the 'contact us' page or comment further. Have a great rest of the day.

I haven't heard that before! That sounds like a neat trick. Did the gel pad stick there and still transfer heat? Honestly a designated heated pad with built-in vacuum suction for LCD refurbishing have gotten quite cheap lately, around $60~80, definitely worth it if anyone wants to do multiple.

4:33 wouldn’t a heat plate work better? As long as you don’t set it to hot you shouldn’t damage the screen

Definitely. A heat plate works more efficiently and saves time for the repair. However, as heat plates don't have much application otherwise, I made this video with a heat gun/hairdryer in the spirit of DIYing.

The blade got dent on the edge and the screen still didn’t come off.

Dont you need a vacuum/debubbling machine?

Nope. That's not the case with our liquid glue. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further/contact us. Have a great rest of the day!

This is a difficult repair that I would personally not recommend attempting unless you have some experience. It is VERY diffucult to get the screen out of these without damaging the OLED section, especially if you've got a heavily cracked screen. It requires considerable heat and preferably some strong suction cup tools. I'd strongly recommend buying a salvage complete screen if this is a phone you want to keep, or even an aftermarket LCD. FaceID WILL work, Apple no longer disables this. You'll still get the non-genuine screen warning. FYI I purchased the kit in the link and the OCA is very poor quality, even after 30 minutes it's' not fully set. Not happy with it.

The polarizer of display is damaged

Are you by any chance referring to the display shown after the repair? If so, that was mentioned in the video. I had demonstrated what could happen to the display if it gets overheated. You can easily avoid this by using the sticker thermometer included in our kit. Any further questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to comment further. Best regards,

Just say alcohol gee wiz that was driving me nuts

🤣Yeah I should stop being so paranoid about someone skimming through, missing certain minute details and wrecking their phone. I think with the new video I got a bit less paro.

Epic fail on my part. The wire got between the digitizer and the polarizer screen and peeled it off. I was left with a shiny metal screen when I was done. More attention should be given to this easy error. Also, I didn't have the holding pad, and my wire repeatedly broke. I should have bought your kit

Thank you for sharing your experience. I can definitely empathize with your disappointment. Over the years, I've noticed a pattern of comments from people who have used other kits and experienced failure. There are copycats now using the name of our glue too, but I've been doing this since the days of S3, and every component, with the exception of the screwdriver set, has either been developed in-house or vetted after many trials. The glass, the waterproofing adhesive, and the wires all have more than five distinct grades of quality, although they may look the same. The gel pad to hold the device still and the sticker thermometer are both a very crucial part of the repair both of which are exclusive to our kit. It's very possible that you did not have sufficient heat to soften the glue layer, and your wire was too thick which caused it to go too deep. Don't get me wrong; even with our kit, if you are not careful, you can very well cause damage or fail the repair. We've also had a recent mishap where a fault in production has caused a batch of wires to be weaker. One thing I have learned in this competitive industry, though, is that you really need to be on top of things. One small change or error in the supply chain can make a night-and-day difference in terms of quality.

How did you know this was possible to doo. Just taking off the first layer of glass? Did you just figure it out, did someone teach you? Because I've never seen anyone doo this before, very fascinating

Thank you for your comment! I've been doing this since Galaxy S3, at that point the information was very limited but I learned it all off of KZread. There are quite a few content creators on the glass only repair topic now. Rewa technology and Cambofixing just to name 2. The things we developed simply replace the machines so this can be done as a DIY.
