    Jerry, you do a remarkable job of ignoring these haters. I don't recall any of your videos "claiming" that you were an "expert"; only that you hope it helps others.
    If these haters are so outstanding at this craft, I would appreciate their offering their time to show us better methods. Personally, I combed over many videos, and picked and chose small portions from several. The bottom line, while I attempt and usually succeed at a wide range of DIY projects, I would not have ventured into this repair if you and and others with your interest in helping others, did not take the time and effort to share your experiences.
    Again, THANK YOU!.

Sold all of it and then a year later after watching your video actually banged out 4 with my hot air station and some cards. And only 1 had a burn spot. And even that one already has a home. So thank you, thank you very much.

    I AM ONE OF THE FEW =) Or maybe it's not quite so terrible. It did take a real long time.
    It worked! I just used a few drops of 5-minute epoxy on the very edges instead of the fancy uv-glue, and everything works! The screen works fine, touch / swipe works great still. I used the 91% isopropyl alcohol - at first it felt like nothing was coming off at all, but using a guitar pick to scrape it off, and LOTS of alcohol, got it started.
    I thought that I damaged the LCD because the back discolored a tiny bit and pulled up a little, but when I put it all back together it was perfectly fine.
    Thanks for the video!

    Jerry, I know that you dont gonna read this but I must express it anyway:
    In 2022 this video help me to repair my Nexus 4, I just want to give you thanks like you ask in the video, im alredy suscribed since before you record this video, and you alredy have millions of suscribers so a like more dont gonna help you to support you or your channel.
    You've change a lot in all this years, youre voice, set up, video editting, almost the only constant its "like Lego piece" (yhea, I search for it in this video also 😅)
    Now you have a paraplegic wife, a son, and a electric hummer, contrast a lot with the guy of this video that just "repair phones all the day"...
    But what you did in the past are still giving fruit, this videos seems to still been helpful. Valuate that.
    And if you can recover this style, maybe its not so lucrative like what you're doing now, but would be more useful... I dont gonna make my own electric hummer, 3D printed statue of myself, or a paraplegic elevator on a two floors house that barely some people can afford...
    Sometimes the changes looks good but they are not valuable, and sometimes are changes that looks bad, but are good for youreself, like that horse accident that if your wife doesnt have, you never would know her...
    The aesthetic of youre videos improves, the size of youre projects increase, your camera, sound, editing, its better, but if a 6 years old video is more useful that all the videos that you record this year...
    So thanks very much for share your knowledge Jerry, you extend the life of a Nexus more than 8 years, this is the fifth phone that I dont trow to the trash. But dont stop doing this, are a lot of people in India (for name an example) that would watch and rewatch this content, that would help hundreds and thousands of people.

    Hi, thanks for posting the video! I just took the broken glass off with out even taking the screws and/or screen off, though. To me your video was helpful because you used a playing card instead of that triangle. I don't have the glue, so I had to use tape to hold it together until I get the glue. I have a working phone now, for only $5. I forgot to mention this is my second attempt on doing the glass only, I've changed plenty of screen digitizers and this glass was from the first failed attempt Thanks!!

  • @chriscollard6168
    @chriscollard6168 9 лет назад +6

    Thank you very much for the video, it was very helpful and I was able to do the repair. I did not have a heat gun such as yours, but I was able to use my girlfriends hair dryer instead to heat it up and remove the glass. I did not have any rubbing alchol to help clean the glue off, but instead used some acetone nail polish remover. I also bought a small tube of LOCA glue and UV flashlight combo from amazon.
    After reassembling everything my screen now has parts of it where it is darker, random blobs of it. Was this maybe caused by not using the UV light enough, cleaning the screen with acetone (nail polish remover, not a lot either), or maybe something else that I have done? I am going to leave the flashlight on the phone overnight to hopefully fix this problem.
    Thanks again for the video, you rock!

    Working on 5s I began removing glue from LCD which seemed much more difficult. A very small corner of a film peeled up which I learned is the polarizer. Pulling that off removes glue with it and saves a lot of hassle but needs a replacement which is available online. The LCD is shot already after the work but it might be useful mentioning this and providing a link in the description. Great vid

    Did the replacement, took about two hours. The process worked, however we had a problem. We used both alcohol and Goo Gone (It was mentioned in the video). The Goo Gone got in the layers of the LCD screen. Left us with a foggy screen, going to replace both the LCD and digitizer now. I wonder if we could have sealed the LCD with super glue before we started the glue removal? Also had some small bubbles that we did not see at first so look very carefully before you use the UV light to set the glue. A word of advice, create a list of tools and supplies and step by step guide, that helped in the process. Overall a good tutorial thanks Jerry.

      LeonVIPPER It was a different procedure, they’ve replaced the whole LCD with the frame, Apple doesn’t do this “glass only”😂😂😂
      Plus, on Apple screen you can’t use LOCA, as it goes between the backlight and the LCD and will leave marks (check the end of the video at the top of the screen).
      This method works well on Samsung LCDs tho :)
      Sometimes boards ... just die, believe me or not.
      Sometimes because of silly mistakes (not connecting the ESD), sometimes it just happens due to a factory issue (and Oooh, Apple is the king at failed boards : iphone 6/6s touch IC - specially Plus series, iPhone 7 Sound IC - factory error-they’ve recalled some devices, replaced a lot of them... and so on... )
      So, don’t always blame the technicians...
      P.S.: a phone can suddenly “die” after hundreds of small impacts over time, and when a technician moves the board a bit, it stops working.... or a small bend, and when removing the board might break circuits...

      around 40 dollars when working on a newer model..
      with practice u can repair 10 phones a day. on 50 dollars total profit on average, its 500 per day. that good money. buying an entire new lcd would not get you to make much profit

    • @narcoleptic8982
      @narcoleptic8982 6 лет назад

      I agree. But I accidentally bought glass only, so it's 40 bucks plus 60 for the new replacement LCD, so... may as well give it a shot even if I break my LCD, the new part has one with it...

    Appreciate the video. Did a full screen assembly repair before, but thought just the glass would be fun. LCD was good thru tear down, though I broke the plastic frame. Bought another one. Put it back together, had a single ribbon on the display so tried to open the case again and my replacement frame broke, and wouldn't come out...somewhere in this process I must have man-handled it because now my LCD is just ribbons. What a bummer. Oh well, had fun. Thank you.

      +Rachel Rupp It was worth a shot! Now you know more about how screens work, and your next attempt will be more successful. I've literally broken 100's of screens this way.

    You shouldnt be showing how to do something that you dont even know how to do! You didnt remove the backlight first, which left uv glue between the LCD and backlight, which is why there are white spots all over the screen when you were testing it.

      Colin you are right. This guy sucks lol. I would never let this guy touch my phone. The LCD wasnt even centered properly, thats why the bottom left corner was messing up every time he pressed the home button. The glass wasn't properly seated on the bezel, and the backlight is pretty much trash now. LOL. I love watching noobs that think they know what they are doing. You used way too much loca btw, I could have used the same amount on 2 phones. Nice job spending 20 minutes just cleaning the glue off the LCD. Tool.

      Don't just don't for just 40 bucks you can replace the whole screen which works ok instead of this crap just buy an lcd of aliexpress

    • @markanderson1435
      @markanderson1435 9 лет назад

      +djdeanz z while this would be the easiest way. Where would the fun be in that? I like a challenge. Obviously it can be done. I've done may projects before that have been "impossible" and proven it to be possible. If this was my daily driver then yeah I would probably not be doing this. For the everyday unexperienced person, this is probably not a good idea.

    excellent videos, I've watched a few of yours. Like someone else mentioned, you have a good style of explaining and showing what to do. However, seeing how delicate the entire process is, I think I"m going to get someone else to try and replace my screen lol.

    • @JerryRigEverything
      @JerryRigEverything  9 лет назад

      +Kiedis21 Hey thanks! I appreciate it! And I agree, this is not a fun repair. I recommend going with the full screen swap instead of 'just the glass'.

    I did it!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙆 Thanks so much...it's really difficult to get the glue out without damaging the lcd..mine got defective but still works...next time I just change the whole screen...very interesting trying it out though..for just $10 is worth trying it for the love of it ;)

  • @thomasknight7734
    @thomasknight7734 8 лет назад

    I got really close to doing it this way but broke my LCD right near the end
    but definitely try this before buying a whole new display
    also make sure the whole digitizer works before you put the glass on

      Banthos Its a way hard repair. lol, we don't offer them as a repair at my shop either, this was more just for fun. I finished an iPhone 6 today... MUCH harder than the 5s. The glue is different, and takes longer to separate. I hope to have that video posted on Monday. You'll have to check it out.

    Hello jerry!
    I had to try to do it with another broken screen. This time it was much easier to get the glass of(used a hairdryer because my heat gun broke on the first attempt). I think that i got into the wrong layer on the first try like in between the two polarlizer layers thats, why it was so hard to get the playcard inside the glass. I just need to buy alcohol to get the uv-glue off on the i think successful attempt.

    • @emplp
      @emplp 9 лет назад

      OffGrid Gamers Channel, you have to take apart the backlight and clean off the multiple films careful not to break the (light transfer wafer?) LCDs usually use plexiglass, but this material is very weak inside the backlight
      I made the same error

  • @RideWitMe1
    @RideWitMe1 9 лет назад

    I just fixed my 5s screen yesterday and had some discoloration of the top corners likely due to putting the heat gun too high, UV glue soaking into the sides or pressing too hard on the digitizer when removing the broken shards of glass. But hey I saved money so I'm happy with the final result.

    Hi Jerry,
    First off, thanks so much for showing me how to replace the screen on my iPhone!! It was so cool and fun tho remove the glass from the glue!!! I just have a few questions, how do you change the home button over to the new phone? I tried and some how screwed up. Luckily I bought a $8 home button that was so easy to install (Amazon EShine Home Button). My biggest problem was the color distortion after the UV glue dried. Is there any solution to fixing the color distortion? Or, how can I prevent color distortion for my next repair? Do I have to use a glue in between the glass and the lcd? THANKS SO MUCH! I loved the video!
    THANKS!!!

  • @ChrisOrillia

    I have this screen protector with glue already on it. It's "HD ballistic glass," for the iPhone 5, made by Tech Armor. The LCD isn't broken, but there's a big diagonal lighting bold of shattered glass that spans the entire phone. Thus far, the small bits of glass are held in place by a standard sticky protector; it's hard to see things but, remains relatively usable. You really have to pay attention to every detail in those strange amazon categories; where you get endless pages of random looking products that apparently, are the same type of thing. My problem was that all the products looked the same, but did different things--either that, or I'm just an idiot, lol.
