    How did you clean the edges of the glass so well? You cleaned the LOCA again after it hardened? From 13:04 to 13:43 is a big difference.

    • @RestoreTechnique
      @RestoreTechnique  Год назад +1

      No I cleaned the edges fully before hardening it finally. I cleaned it with a plastic razor blade, and with Isopropyl Alcohol and microfibre cloth. I couldn't show the whole cleaning process, I needed to edit it.

    Amazing! But I wonder why you didn't use tape to secure the broken digitizer when removing, or used only one card to remove the LCD :o
    In any case, patience is a virtue and the results speak for itself! Excellent job!

    • @RestoreTechnique
      @RestoreTechnique  4 года назад +5

      Thankyou! The front glass has a laminated layer underneath, which holds all the glass in 1 piece, so it's not necessary to tape it. Fyi, the glass is not a digitzer, its just glass, the digitzer is layered on top of the AMOLED display.

    I’m back here again, watching you repair this seemingly destroyed phone to mint condition - zen like. I wonder - what do you do with the phones you repair? Sell, give to homeless, collect, use yourself? I wonder because I was thinking that a 9 year old samsung can’t have a lot of resale value and will have no software support.
