Just finished using this to replace my wife's shattered screen after she dropped her phone - was wonderful and very helpful step by step. Worked perfectly! Hopefully the new screen lasts longer (also see the accompanying video on breaking down the entire phone to get at the front screen).

Thank you lovie!!!!

Your calm voice made all this much nicer than the general disassembly (the one I watched made my heart go whoopeti-whoop). Thanks, great quality vid!

thanks so much. Never loved a phone more than my Nexus 5. I could cry just looking at the shattered screen. It's all fixed now! Thank you sir!

This went pretty well for me. My screen was very cracked and I had to take it off in pieces. This lead me to over use the heatgun which warped the frame. Fortunately when the replacement screen was installed it straightened everything out. Excellent video.

You are not just a man.... YOU ARE THE MAN ! My personnal hero, Thank You.

Best Repair videos! We miss your videos!

Thank you sir! I just finished replacing my display.Oh god it was stressful, but if you have the nerve, it is relatively straight forward. Here in the states, we can't get the glue you used, so I ended up using contact cement from a glass jar. It worked great, just follow the instructions on the bottle and apply with a toothpick. I had some trouble getting the old display to pop off (I was afraid to heat up the phone too much), but once I did, it popped right off!

Thank you, thank you , thank you! I watched this video like 10 times and yesterday finally went through with it and manage to repair my sister's broken N5. Remove the old shattered part was hard, but after a lot of trying and heating up it worked. Thank you so much, fantastic videos ;)

I love this guy's videos. So informative and his voice is like a smooth scotch.

Very helpful, and good suggestion for a glue to use (although it seems to be rather hard to find locally). Install went off without a hitch.

Brilliant. Well constructed, informative, and helpful. Thankyou.

And perfect timing too! Great video as always!

Cool bro. Nice Teardown!

My replacement screen was bleeding light on the left edge and was slowly getting up from the bezel. I opened it up again and put some new glue on there and now its all good. I hope it will stick for a while. thx for the vid.

So my screen cracked on my nexus 5 and I ordered the touch display/digitizer but with no frame is this what I would do to replace the cracked one?

at my nexus 5... its only the glass broken...screen is working perfect. can i change only the first layer glass instead of buy new screen ?

Great video, when you mention heat source does it mean i can use lets say a heat gun ? i dont want to ruin any circuit on the frame...

What type of glue are you using to outback on the screen?

Any idea what type of glass seperator I should get for samsung galaxy and nokia devices at an affordable price? Thanks

can you separate the screen but with all components still inside? (battery, motherboard, etc) or do you have to take them away?

I've only broke the screen but touch still works. Will I need to buy a replacement with a digitizer or just the glass screen itself?? Please help!

I used a similar frame/screen to fix my nexus 5, but when I put it together again it would not connect to the camera. I redid all the connections a few times and my camera worked in the old frame/screen. Would you have any idea why the cameras are not working?

Really really helpful video. Just wanted to know if you yourself have had any experience with this screen replacement and if so could you tell me anything about the quality?? Thanks!

Where can I get a screwdriver in low price to open all the related screws of nexus 5?

What type of glue is used for the speaker mesh and LED light guide?

The glue you used, how easy is it to separate again if needed at a later time?

After changing my screen I just get the "can't connect to the camera" problem. It seems that a lot of people have got this in the past but I'm thinking I must have broken it as I was disassembling the phone. Any ideas?

Hi.. I'm getting vertical black lines on my nexus 5 display where white letters are coming and the lines are moving around with the letters. Touch is working perfectly but display gets hot and battery drain fast. what could be the reason and how can i fix it. .? if i need to replace the display,which is the best available display on ebay..?/

Hi Le55ons, Where did you bought the glue? Can you describe the "glue specs" so I can find it my self some where. Thanks!

Your voice makes my ears melt, (A good thing)

Can we buy those layers behind the screen?

My phone got run over.... Screen is obviously obliterated but cause the phone was in a good case (not quite car proof) the frame is fine. The phone is also on and seems to be working ok, I've made calls accidentally so stuff must be working. My question is, if I replace the screen, is there any common damage that you know of that a phone can sustain when damaged like this? I'm concerned I could go to the effort of replacing it and spending the money on a new screen and then after all that the actually phone is bust anyway! Thanks

Can I use loca glue instead of tape??

Hi. What type of glue are you using?

Do you have to use hot glue to fit the screen?

+FetusChrist this is the complicated way anyway. when you buy the screen for the nexus 5, you will usually get the whole display assembly - screen, glass, sideframe of the phone. of course you can only replace the lcd itself, but for most people, its easier the just replace the whole screen assembly. its not expensive anyway.

Thanks - that made a difficult job easier! A couple of things: I used superglue, sacrificing the ability to take it apart again for very quick drying. I also used a tooth pick to spread the superglue around the edges of the screen as there isn't much room there. Worked like a charm.

'Tarzans Grip' works fine and what we have here in Aus. Consistancy similar to your glue, no cyanocryalite (super glue). Be careful with superglue on aesthetic surfaces as it is highly volatile and quite often causes a cloudy deposit to form all around drop. Gets on glass or lens= FAIL.5 Look for a universal 'gooey' glue that can be used like contact adhesive or by straight press.

the best and safest way to remove moisture is to heat the phone to about 60ºC and put it in a vacuum chamber for 20 minutes. This will boil off any water

Hi there. Again, thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to try again with my hair dryer but, the question is different this time. (Let's see if I'm able to properly explain the problem in English) The central part of the screen, especially at the bottom, is not working. I mean, the home and drawer button do not work at all and, in lock screen, I have some issues pressing number 5. If I try to write something, keys W and S have a strange behaviour (seems as if I press any of the two adjacent keys) but groups T-Y-U, G-H-J and C-V-N do not work at all. So, all in all, should I get another screen and forget about this one? :( Anyway, I will try to find some time tonight and try, again, to remove the screen from front housing.
